Home › Service Areas › Prescott Valley › 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 Prescott Valley, from the Highway 69 corridor to Quailwood.
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 Prescott Valley Homeowners Trust 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. Prescott Valley sits at a similar elevation to Prescott, with the same granite-based soil and genuine winter freeze-thaw cycles that call for different footing depths and joint spacing than low-desert Phoenix work.
Here's what we get right on every job:
- Integral color mixed directly into the concrete for consistent, long-lasting color throughout the slab
- Sealer systems that protect color and extend the life of the finish
- Acid-stain and dye options for variegated, stone-like color effects
- Color matching across driveways, patios, and pool decks for a cohesive property look
- UV-stable pigments chosen specifically for Arizona's intense sun exposure
- Heat-conscious lighter color options that stay cooler underfoot than standard gray
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 Prescott Valley
Prescott Valley permits through the Town of Prescott Valley in Yavapai County, with the same high-elevation freeze considerations as neighboring Prescott.
Granite soil and real winter frost depth drive deeper footings and tighter joint spacing than any low-desert project.
That local knowledge is the difference between colored concrete work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Prescott 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 Prescott Valley-area project we pour across Northern Arizona.
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.
Colored Concrete in Prescott Valley: Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.

It depends on the scope, but most colored concrete work in Prescott Valley is permitted through the Town of Prescott Valley, and we handle the submittal and any required inspections for you. We'll confirm exactly what your project needs during your free estimate.
