Home › Service Areas › Peoria › Colored Concrete
Plain gray concrete doesn't have to be the only option. Cortez Concrete installs integral and stained colored concrete for driveways, patios, and pool decks throughout Peoria, from Vistancia to Fletcher Heights.
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.
What Sets Our Colored Concrete Apart in Peoria
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. Northern Peoria's lots near Lake Pleasant tend to be rockier and more sloped, which usually means more grading and retaining work than flatter lots closer to the valley.
Here's what our process accounts for:
- Color matching across driveways, patios, and pool decks for a cohesive property look
- 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
- Heat-conscious lighter color options that stay cooler underfoot than standard gray
- Acid-stain and dye options for variegated, stone-like color effects
- Sealer systems that protect color and extend the life of the finish
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 Peoria
Peoria permits through the City of Peoria, and its fast-growing north end near Lake Pleasant carries HOA review in communities like Vistancia.
Northern Peoria's lots run rockier and more sloped toward the lake, which usually means more grading and retaining work than the flatter valley-floor neighborhoods.
That local knowledge is the difference between colored concrete work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Peoria property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.
The Family Behind Every Peoria Pour
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 Peoria 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Will the color fade in Arizona sun?
We use UV-stable pigments and sealers designed to resist fading, though periodic resealing helps maintain color long-term.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need a permit for colored concrete work in Peoria?
It depends on the scope, but most colored concrete work in Peoria is permitted through the City of Peoria, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
