Ares & Eros Contracting designs and builds concrete patios across Arizona that are engineered for long-term outdoor performance — not just poured and left. Every project in Arizona, and across the state accounts for heat expansion, sun exposure, and drainage before a single form is set.
An Arizona backyard without a well-built patio is an opportunity wasted. With outdoor living central to Arizona's lifestyle — year-round use in winter and spring, evening gatherings in summer — a concrete patio is one of the highest-value improvements you can make to your property. But in Arizona, outdoor concrete faces some of the harshest conditions of any surface: 120°F peak temperatures, intense solar radiation, and the abrupt weather swings of monsoon season.

Whether you want a simple, clean broom-finish slab or a premium stamped concrete patio that mimics high-end stone, Ares & Eros Contracting delivers it with military-grade precision and Arizona-specific engineering.

WHAT WE OFFER
Every concrete patio construction project Ares & Eros Contracting takes on is engineered specifically for Arizona's conditions. Here is the full range of work we deliver:
Standard Broom Finish Patios
Clean, functional, cost-effective outdoor slabs. Professional appearance with excellent slip resistance — ideal for Arizona's pool areas and high-traffic outdoor spaces.
Stamped Concrete Patios
The most popular Arizona patio finish. We stamp patterns that replicate natural stone, slate, flagstone, travertine, or brick — premium aesthetics without ongoing maintenance costs.
Colored & Integral Color Concrete
Custom color mixed throughout the concrete, not painted on. Maintains appearance through years of Arizona UV exposure. Coordinate with your home exterior or landscaping design.
Exposed Aggregate Patios
Slip-resistant decorative surface exposing natural stone aggregate. Excellent for pool decks and barefoot areas. Natural texture is cooler underfoot than solid concrete in direct sun.
Pool Deck Concrete
Specialized patio work around pools using anti-slip finishes and heat-reflective options. We engineer expansion joints specifically for the wet/dry cycles around pool surrounds.
Patio Extensions & Additions
Expanding an existing patio or adding a new connected section. We match existing finishes and ensure seamless transitions with proper joint treatment between old and new concrete.
Building a patio in Arizona requires different decisions than anywhere else in the country. Every choice — from finish type to pour timing to joint spacing — is influenced by Arizona's climate:
• Surface temperature management: dark concrete in direct Arizona sun can reach 160°F+ in summer. We advise on finish colors, textures, and sealers that reduce surface temperature for barefoot comfort.
• Stamped concrete in Arizona heat: the stamping window is shorter in extreme heat as concrete sets faster. Our crews are experienced working in Arizona conditions and know exactly when to stamp.
• Drainage from patios: every patio must slope away from the home foundation. We design minimum 1/8 inch per foot slope into all patio forms, critical for monsoon season runoff.
• Expansion joint placement: patios are more complex than driveways because of irregular shapes, embedded features (fire pits, built-in seating), and adjacency to pools. We plan joint locations before forming.
• Pool deck specifics: wet/dry cycles, chemical exposure from pool water, and barefoot comfort all factor into mix design and finish selection for pool-adjacent concrete.
OUR PROCESS
We run every concrete patio construction project with the same discipline and sequencing we learned in the military. No improvisation. No shortcuts. Every step serves the mission.
We discuss your vision — size, shape, finish, features (fire pit, seating walls, steps). We provide a detailed written estimate covering all work.
Excavation to correct depth, removal of existing material, sub-base installation, and compaction. Proper drainage slope established.
Forms set to exact dimensions with drainage slope engineered in. Expansion joint locations planned around all obstacles and perimeters.
Rebar or wire mesh installed based on span and load. Lifted to correct height within the slab for maximum effectiveness.
Concrete poured, screeded, and finished to selected texture. Stamping performed at the precise moment of concrete stiffness — critical in Arizona heat.
Curing compound applied immediately after finishing. Wet curing or shading used in peak summer temperatures to prevent rapid moisture loss.
Penetrating or surface sealer applied after full cure to protect finish, enhance color, and reduce UV degradation. Recommended for all stamped and colored patios.

Concrete patio construction in Arizona ranges from $7 to $10 per square foot for standard broom finish, $12 to $20 for stamped concrete, and $9 to $13 for exposed aggregate. A typical 400 square foot patio costs between $2,800 and $8,000 depending on finish and site conditions. Contact Ares & Eros Contracting at aaecontracting.com/contact for a free estimate.
Exposed aggregate and lighter-colored concrete are best for Arizona's heat as they absorb less solar radiation than dark colors. Stamped concrete with a light release color is popular for aesthetics while managing surface temperature. For pool decks specifically, anti-slip exposed aggregate or broomed finishes are recommended for barefoot safety.
A properly installed and sealed concrete patio in Arizona lasts 25 to 40 years or more. Key factors are correct joint placement to manage thermal expansion, adequate thickness (at least 4 inches), proper drainage slope, and periodic resealing every 3 to 5 years.
Most residential concrete patios in Arizona do not require a building permit. However, permits may be required if the patio is covered by a roof structure, attached to the main dwelling, or in a municipality with specific hardscape regulations. Ares & Eros Contracting confirms permit requirements before starting any project.
A standard residential patio of 300 to 600 square feet typically takes 1 to 2 days for the pour and finishing. Site preparation, forming, and sub-base work add 1 to 2 days before the pour. The concrete requires a minimum of 7 days before foot traffic and 28 days for full strength.
