Concrete Contractors in South Tucson, AZ

We work as concrete contractors in South Tucson on some of the oldest and most tightly packed lots in the metro. South Tucson is its own city, about 1.03 square miles, entirely surrounded by Tucson. It had 4,613 residents and 2,116 housing units at the 2020 census. Its motto is "The Pueblo Within A City," and its streets are known for colorful buildings, murals and Mexican restaurants and shops. Concrete work here tends to be small in square footage and big in detail: front walks, entry steps, narrow driveways, back patios and sidewalk sections.

A city that fought to exist

South Tucson incorporated on August 10, 1936, by a 52 to 35 vote. Pima County dissolved it on January 18, 1938, and residents reincorporated it on March 27, 1939, by a vote of 70 to 63. In 1956 Tucson annexed the land around it, and in the 1990s Tucson transferred a 25-acre slice to South Tucson, bringing it to its current size. That long history means many homes and their concrete are decades old, often poured without the base or reinforcement we would use today.

Old concrete, careful replacement

On older lots we often find walks laid directly on dirt, steps that have separated from the porch, and driveways patched in several eras. When we replace them, we cut clean lines, remove only what has failed, and build a compacted base under the new work. Matching broom direction and joint spacing helps new concrete sit comfortably next to old. For businesses, we pour entry slabs and walks that hold up to foot traffic.

Tight sites

Lots here are close together, and many sit right on the sidewalk. Access for trucks and equipment can be limited, so we plan tear-out and pour routes ahead of time, protect neighboring walls and fences, and keep the work area clean. Smaller pours often go by wheelbarrow or a line pump instead of a chute.

Heat and runoff

South Tucson sits at about 2,425 feet and shares Tucson's long, hot summers and monsoon storms. In the hot months we pour early in the morning and start curing promptly. Storm water moves fast on paved streets, so every walk and patio we pour is pitched to send water away from the house and toward the street. If your work touches the public sidewalk or a curb cut, we check the City of South Tucson's requirements before we schedule.
