It refers to a drop (no contact) as well, so who knows? :-)
To answer the original question, I would always use preventive officiating to keep them on the court. I stop the serve and say loud enough "don't stop on the concrete." They have always gotten the hint after the second time, if not the first.
Not that it's happened, but after I've warned twice, if a player were to make absolutely no effort not to step on the concrete and blatantly does it again (for example, the entire foot), I'd probably call it. It's never come to that. Yet. :-)
