Concrete Contractors in Valencia West, AZ

If you are looking for concrete contractors in Valencia West, chances are your home was built in the last 20 years. This unincorporated community on Tucson's southwest side had only 738 housing units in 2000. By 2020 it had 4,483. Population went from 2,380 in 2000 to 9,355 in 2010 and 14,101 in 2020. Nearly all of that is new construction, which means builder concrete that is still fairly young but often smaller than a growing household needs.

More room for vehicles

The most common request we get here is more parking. A two-car driveway fills up fast when a household has three or four drivers. We pour driveway extensions along the side of the existing slab, separate parking pads and wider aprons. On lots with side yard access, a pad for a trailer or work truck is another frequent job. We check setbacks and any HOA rules first, then join the new concrete to the old with dowels or an isolation joint.

Back yards built for the heat

Tucson-area summers are long and hot, so back yard space works best with shade and concrete that stays comfortable. We pour patios sized for a cover or pergola, extend the small builder slab, and add walks to the side gate and around the house. Lighter colors and broom finishes stay cooler underfoot than dark, smooth surfaces. For a more finished look, stamped and colored concrete can match the tile and stucco tones common in newer neighborhoods.

Ground, water and permits

Like much of southern Arizona, the soil in this part of Pima County can hold a caliche layer. UA Extension describes it as lime-cemented soil anywhere from a few inches to several feet thick that slows drainage. We dig test spots on the estimate so we know what we are building on.

Monsoon storms can send a lot of water across a lot in a short time, especially on the edge of open desert. Every slab we pour is pitched away from the foundation. Valencia West is unincorporated, so Pima County handles permits; improvements inside a regulatory floodplain, including areas of sheet flooding, need a Floodplain Use Permit before construction. We check that for lots near washes.
