Concrete Contractors in Flowing Wells, AZ

We work as concrete contractors in Flowing Wells on some of the most compact lots in the Tucson area. This unincorporated community covers only about 3.4 to 3.8 square miles, bounded by Interstate 10 on the west, the Rillito River on the north, and the City of Tucson on the south and east. It had 15,657 residents and 7,129 housing units at the 2020 census. On lots this close together, concrete work is all about fitting a lot of function into a small space: a driveway that holds two cars, a walk that does not hold water, a patio that fits between the house and the back wall.

An old water district

The community's name and roots go back to water. The Flowing Wells Irrigation District was founded in 1922 and still supplies water to the southern majority of the community. In 2007 Flowing Wells received an All-America City Award from the National Civic League. With that much history, plenty of the homes and their concrete have been around a long time, and we see the patterns that come with age: settled walks, cracked drive aprons, slabs patched more than once.

Small lots, careful work

Tight lots change how a job runs. Access for equipment can be limited, so we plan tear-out and pour routes ahead of time and protect walls, gates and neighboring yards. When a driveway is narrow, we look at whether a ribbon or side pad adds parking without crowding the front yard. When a back patio has to meet a block wall, we leave an isolation joint so the slab and the wall can move separately.

Next to the Rillito

The Rillito River forms the northern edge of the community. It is dry most of the year but carries real water when storms hit the mountains. Even well away from the river, monsoon downpours move quickly across paved lots. We pitch every slab so water runs to the street or to a landscaped area, never toward the foundation. For lots near the river or a wash, Pima County's floodplain rules may apply: in unincorporated areas, improvements inside a regulatory floodplain need a Floodplain Use Permit before construction, and we check that first.
