Home › Service Areas › Paradise Valley › 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 Paradise Valley including near Clearwater Hills and Palo Cristi.

We're a third-generation, family-owned concrete company built on the kind of work ethic you'd expect from a business run by a working firefighter — precise, dependable, and built to hold up under pressure.

Why Paradise Valley Homeowners Trust Cortez Concrete for Concrete Footings

Footings need to be sized for the load above them and dug below Paradise Valley's frost-irrelevant but often caliche-laden soil to reach stable bearing capacity. Paradise Valley's ultra-low-density estate lots come with strict hillside and architectural review standards that shape everything from driveway layout to pool deck design.

Here's what our process accounts for:

Footing width and depth engineered for your structure's load and local soil conditions
Experience with continuous, spread, and pier footings for various structure types
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 Paradise Valley

Paradise Valley permits through the Town of Paradise Valley, which enforces strict hillside and architectural review on its low-density estate lots.

PV's ultra-custom homes and pool-deck projects demand finishes and detailing that hold up to the town's design standards and the mountainside grades around Camelback and Mummy Mountain.

That local knowledge is the difference between footing work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Paradise Valley 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 Paradise Valley-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.
