Colored Concrete in Scottsdale, AZ

Home › Service Areas › Scottsdale › 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 Scottsdale, from Old Town to Grayhawk.

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 Scottsdale

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. Scottsdale's expansive desert soils, HOA design standards, and north-valley grade changes all shape how a project needs to be engineered.

Here's what makes the difference on a Scottsdale project:

How We Handle Colored Concrete in Scottsdale

  1. Color & Finish Selection — We walk you through integral, stained, and dye options to find the right look.
  2. Base Prep & Forming — Standard base and form work, since color doesn't change the structural requirements.
  3. Pour & Color Application — Integral color mixed in before the pour, or stain and dye applied to the cured or fresh surface.
  4. Texture & Finish — Broom, trowel, or stamped texture applied to complement the color choice.
  5. Sealing — A quality sealer applied to protect color from UV fade and wear.

Local Knowledge for Colored Concrete in Scottsdale

Scottsdale permits through the City of Scottsdale, and much of the city — especially north of the 101 — sits under HOA architectural review that dictates finishes, colors, and setbacks, which we design around from the start.

From the walkable lots of Old Town to the hillside parcels near Troon and the DC Ranch foothills, Scottsdale grades vary widely, and we engineer each pour for its specific slope and soil.

That local knowledge is the difference between colored concrete work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale and 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.

Colored Concrete in Scottsdale: 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.

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.

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.

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.
