Why redo it

Your driveway is the first thing people see.

A cracked, stained or too narrow driveway drags down the whole front of the house. A new paver drive or a widened slab gives you room for another car, fixes the eyesore and looks planned from the street.

Driveways in Chandler take a beating from summer heat, heavy trucks and clay soil that shifts after monsoon rain. That is why the part you never see, the compacted subgrade and base, gets most of our attention.

Ready when you areWant a driveway that handles the Arizona heat and your daily parking without cracking? CGL Landscaping builds and extends driveways in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and across the East Valley on a properly compacted base. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.

What every driveway job covers
Driveway work

More than one way to fix a driveway.

These are the six driveway jobs Chandler homeowners ask us for most. They range from a full paver drive to a simple extension for a third car.

Not every tired driveway needs to be torn out. Sometimes a paver border, a widened side or new rock along the edges is what the front of the house needs.

01

Fresh concrete curbing and rock beds that frame the drive from the street.

02

A full paver drive in a single color or with a contrasting border.

03

Driveway extensions

Extra width for another car, a trailer or easier getting in and out.

04

Poured, plain or colored, and jointed to control cracking.

05

Paver overlays

Pavers set over a sound driveway slab where the height allows.

06

Side parking pads

A hard surface beside the garage for a boat, a trailer or a work truck.

Not sure if yours can be saved?

We look at the cracks and the settling and tell you honestly whether it needs an overlay, an extension or a full tear out.

Before a number

A driveway quote starts at the curb.

We measure the drive and any extension area, look at how the old slab has cracked or settled, and check the slope toward the street. Then you get a written driveway price.

We also check where the sprinkler lines run under the edges and how the drive meets the sidewalk. Those two spots cause most of the surprises on a driveway job, so we find them first.

The build

What happens on driveway days.

Most of a driveway job is out of sight. The digging and the base are what stop tire ruts and sunken pavers down the road.

A mini skid steer handles the break out and the grading, and the base goes in and gets compacted in layers before any paver or concrete shows up. That order is the same on every driveway installation in Chandler we take on.

01

Assess and quote

Old drive checked, area measured, priced.

02

Break out

Old concrete or rock removed and hauled.

03

Subgrade and base

Soil compacted, base built up in layers.

04

Pave or pour

Pavers laid or concrete formed and poured.

05

Edges and cleanup

Borders set, rock reset, walkthrough.

Crew spreading decorative rock along a side yard next to the driveway
The rest of the front yard

Finish the front yard with the drive.

A new driveway can make tired rock and a patchy strip look worse. It is the right time to redo the walk to the front door and the beds along the drive.

Decorative rock and low water desert plants along the edges keep the front yard clean and meet most HOA landscape rules. A few lights along the drive help at night.

Price drivers

Where a driveway quote comes from.

Every driveway is priced from what we see on site, including what is under the old one. These four drive most of the number.

A narrow side extension on open dirt is a short job. A full tear out of an old cracked drive over soft clay is a much bigger one, and your quote will show the difference line by line.

Square footage

A full drive and a narrow extension are very different jobs.

Tear out

Breaking out and hauling old concrete is a real part of the cost.

Paver or concrete

Pavers usually cost more up front than a poured slab.

Soil and base

Soft or poorly compacted soil means more digging and more base rock.

Each piece is written into your quote.

Slick landscaping did a great job transforming our yard. Zach was professional and kept us updated throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. They completed everything quickly and efficiently. The final result looked clean and well done. Communication was excellent the whole time. I would definitely use them again.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done. Linda Coolidge, AZ

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.
Questions

Driveway questions, answered.

Bring any other driveway questions to the site visit. There is no cost for the visit or the written quote.

These are the questions Chandler homeowners ask most before a driveway project. Paver strength, extensions and overlays lead the list.

Yes, when the base is built for it. A driveway gets a deeper, heavier base than a patio, and the edges are locked so the pavers cannot creep out under the tires.

Yes. We can add a concrete strip or a paver band alongside it. Pavers are often the easier match, since new concrete rarely matches the color of an old slab.

Many stains clean up, and a paver that will not come clean can be lifted and replaced with a new one. That is much harder to do with a poured slab.

Sometimes. If the slab is solid and there is room at the garage and the sidewalk for the added height, an overlay can work, but a badly cracked or sinking drive comes out.

Pavers can usually take traffic once the joints are sanded and compacted. A new concrete drive needs time to cure first, and we will tell you when it is safe to park on it.

Yes. A pad beside the garage or along the side yard is built like a driveway, with a base sized for the weight it will carry.
