Home › Service Areas › Laveen › Colored Concrete
Color is one of the easiest ways to upgrade a concrete project without the cost of pavers or tile. We offer integral and topical color systems throughout Laveen, including near Vista del Sur and Laveen Meadows.
As a third-generation, family-owned concrete company led by an active firefighter, we bring the same precision and dependability to your project that the job demands — work built to hold up under pressure.
Why Laveen Property Owners Choose Cortez Concrete for Colored Concrete
Color consistency and UV fade resistance both matter more in Arizona's sun than almost anywhere else — the wrong color system fades unevenly within a few seasons. Laveen's rapidly suburbanizing former farmland sits near the Salt River floodplain, so drainage and grading get extra attention on every project.
Here's what makes the difference on a Laveen project:
- Heat-conscious lighter color options that stay cooler underfoot than standard gray
- Integral color mixed directly into the concrete for consistent, long-lasting color throughout the slab
- UV-stable pigments chosen specifically for Arizona's intense sun exposure
- Acid-stain and dye options for variegated, stone-like color effects
- Color matching across driveways, patios, and pool decks for a cohesive property look
Our Step-by-Step Colored Concrete Process
- Color & Finish Selection — We walk you through integral, stained, and dye options to find the right look.
- Base Prep & Forming — Standard base and form work, since color doesn't change the structural requirements.
- Pour & Color Application — Integral color mixed in before the pour, or stain and dye applied to the cured or fresh surface.
- Texture & Finish — Broom, trowel, or stamped texture applied to complement the color choice.
- Sealing — A quality sealer applied to protect color from UV fade and wear.

Local Knowledge for Colored Concrete in Laveen
Laveen is part of the City of Phoenix, so it permits through Phoenix, and its rapid shift from farmland to subdivisions brings a mix of new slabs and larger semi-rural lots.
Sitting near the Salt River floodplain, Laveen projects get extra attention to drainage and grading to keep water moving away from structures.
That local knowledge is the difference between colored concrete work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Laveen property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
Three Generations of Family-Owned Arizona Concrete
We're not a franchise or a rotating crew of subcontractors. Cortez Concrete is a third-generation family business, run on the values our grandfather started with — show up, do it right, and stand behind it. With an active firefighter at the helm, that discipline and attention to safety shows up in every Laveen-area project we pour across the Valley.
When you hire Cortez Concrete, you're not hiring a sales team — you're hiring a family that's put its name on Arizona concrete for decades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does colored concrete cost more than standard gray?
Yes, color adds cost over standard gray concrete — we'll break down options and pricing during your estimate.
How often does colored concrete need to be resealed?
Typically every two to three years depending on sun exposure and traffic, to keep color vibrant.
What's the difference between integral color and stain?
Integral color is mixed into the concrete before pouring for uniform color throughout, while stain is applied to the surface for a variegated, stone-like effect.
Can you match the color of my existing concrete?
In many cases yes — bring a sample or photo and we'll get as close a match as possible.
