Home › Service Areas › Laveen › Concrete Footings
Whether it's footings for a new foundation, a retaining wall, or a patio cover, Cortez Concrete builds them to the load and depth your structure needs, throughout Laveen including near Vista del Sur and the Southern Avenue corridor.
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 Homeowners Trust Cortez Concrete for Concrete Footings
Footings need to be sized for the load above them and dug below Laveen's frost-irrelevant but often caliche-laden soil to reach stable bearing capacity. 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 we get right on every job:
- Experience with continuous, spread, and pier footings for various structure types
- Footing width and depth engineered for your structure's load and local soil conditions
- Excavation through caliche and rocky soil common in Laveen without compromising bearing depth
- Reinforcement, rebar sizing and spacing, matched to structural plans
- Coordination with structural engineers on footing design for custom or additions work

Local Knowledge for Concrete Footings 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 footing work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Laveen property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
A Family Name Arizona Has Trusted for Three Generations
Cortez Concrete isn't a franchise or a fly-by-night crew. We're a family business, now in our third generation, built on the same values our grandfather started with — showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Our owner still works as an active firefighter, and that same sense of discipline, safety, and attention to detail carries over into every project we pour in Laveen and across the Valley.
Hire Cortez Concrete and you're working directly with the family whose name is on the truck — not a call center, and not a crew you'll never see again.
