I’m from Phoenix, a huge city with a population of 1.7 million people. I’m used to living in an apartment in the middle of the city, but things are about to change. I recently bought a home in Tucson, a few miles into the suburbs. The home was brand new, but the driveway was an absolute mess. The asphalt had tons of cracks and would have to be completely resurfaced if we kept it. Instead, we did some research on cement options. Ideally, we would install a concrete driveway for the cars and a flat concrete pad or patio surface to put our horse stable. Most of our neighbors have concrete driveways and the surface is ideal for the warm climate in Arizona. After researching several providers of stamped pavers and custom flatwork, we hired a local concrete service called Tucson Concrete to install the cement driveway and design the horse-pad. Tucson Concrete stopped by on a Friday afternoon and spent a good 5 hours digging up the area, grading the soil, prepping the base layer, and then pouring the concrete. Afterwards, they roped off the driveway and we had to leave our cars in the street for a couple days. By Tuesday, the aggregate had hardened and our brand new concrete driveway was ready to use. The concrete horse-pad was 30 feet x 30 feet, and we constructed 3 walls and a roof over the top. Overall, I’m very pleased with their work, and I was happy that they were able to accommodate the horses.
