Serving Casa Grande, AZ and surrounding areas. (520) 340-7534
Casa Grande Concrete delivers foundation installation, driveways, patios, and flatwork to homeowners throughout Florence, AZ. We know the caliche soils that challenge every Pinal County concrete job, pull all required Town of Florence permits, and reply to every new inquiry within 1 business day.
Florence has grown fast, and a large share of that growth is new single-family construction on slab foundations. Caliche soil here demands careful base work before any pour - shortcuts at this stage lead to cracked slabs within a few years. See the full details on our foundation installation service.
Newer Florence subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s are now at the age where original driveways show significant cracking and surface wear. We replace them with properly prepped bases that account for the caliche drainage issues common in this area.
Florence homeowners increasingly use their back yards year-round, and a concrete patio anchors the space. A well-sloped patio surface also directs monsoon runoff away from the house foundation - particularly important on lots with caliche underneath that cannot absorb water quickly.
Many Florence subdivisions have sidewalks in poor condition after years of root pressure, soil movement, and freeze-thaw cycles on cold winter nights. Replacement with adequate base depth stops the heaving and tripping hazards from coming back.
Florence summers push well past 100 degrees F, and pools are common on single-family lots throughout town. A concrete pool deck handles the foot traffic and heat exposure better than pavers, which shift and weed in desert conditions.
Florence has grown from roughly 17,000 residents in 2010 to around 27,000 by the 2020 Census, and most of that growth came from new housing on slab-on-grade foundations. Those slabs are built on caliche-heavy soil that is nearly impermeable to water. When monsoon storms drop heavy rain in a short window, water cannot soak in - it pools on the surface and runs toward foundations, driveways, and low areas in the yard. Concrete work in Florence that does not account for this drainage reality is going to fail faster than the homeowner expects.
Florence summers also regularly exceed 105 to 110 degrees F, and concrete poured in peak heat can lose surface moisture too quickly. The result is a slab that looks fine at first but develops surface cracking within a couple of years as the interior and exterior cure at different rates. Experienced local contractors schedule pours for early morning, use mix admixtures that manage evaporation, and do not rush the curing period by letting vehicle traffic on new concrete too soon. If a contractor is not talking about any of this when you discuss a summer project, that is worth noting.
Our crew works jobs in Florence and is familiar with permit requirements through the Town of Florence Community Development Department. Florence is the county seat of Pinal County, sitting about 65 miles southeast of Phoenix on US-79. It draws a mix of long-term residents and newer arrivals who moved for more affordable housing within commuting distance of the Phoenix metro. Most concrete jobs here involve the subdivisions that went up in the 1990s and 2000s on the north and east sides of town - newer builds on standard slab foundations where caliche prep is the critical variable.
Florence has one of the best-preserved 19th-century downtown areas in Arizona - the historic district along Main Street includes buildings dating to the 1860s and 1870s. The Pinal County Courthouse, built in 1891, is one of the most recognized structures in the region. Work in the historic district involves older construction methods and sometimes requires a different approach than work in the newer subdivisions out toward the edges of town.
We regularly serve homeowners throughout Coolidge to the northwest, where the soil conditions and mid-century housing stock create similar concrete challenges. Between Florence and Coolidge, we cover most of the eastern Pinal County residential market for concrete work.
We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day. Tell us the type of project, the approximate size, and the address in Florence. We do not quote without seeing the property - soil conditions and drainage vary too much across different parts of town.
We come to your property, measure the area, and assess the soil and drainage. You get a written estimate that covers materials, labor, permit fees, and site cleanup before you commit to anything. This is where we discuss caliche excavation requirements if they apply.
We apply for all permits required by the Town of Florence before any digging begins. The crew excavates, breaks through caliche where needed, lays and compacts the gravel base, installs steel reinforcement, and pours on an early-morning schedule during the warm months.
After the pour we walk you through the finished surface and review any touch points. Concrete needs 24 hours before foot traffic and 7 full days before vehicle use. We explain sealing recommendations before we leave so the surface holds up in the desert sun.

(520) 340-7534Florence is the county seat of Pinal County, AZ, located about 65 miles southeast of Phoenix along US Route 79. The town grew from around 17,000 residents in 2010 to roughly 27,000 by the 2020 Census, with most of that growth driven by new residential construction on the north and east sides of town. The dominant housing type across Florence is single-family homes built after 1990, on stucco-exterior construction with concrete slab foundations and tile roofs. The median home value sits around $200,000 to $220,000, well below the Phoenix metro average, making Florence a practical choice for buyers who need to stay within commuting distance of the city. For more on the town, see Florence, Arizona on Wikipedia.
Florence has a distinct historic core that sets it apart from most Pinal County communities. The downtown district along Main Street preserves some of the oldest standing buildings in Arizona, including structures from the 1860s and 1870s when Florence was one of the most important towns in the Arizona Territory. The Florence Historic Preservation program actively protects these properties. Concrete work near the historic district often involves different site constraints than work in the newer subdivisions. We also serve homeowners in Coolidge, where the agricultural-era housing stock creates its own distinct concrete challenges just a short drive away.
