Concrete Contractor in San Luis, AZ - Driveways, Patios and Slabs Built to Last
M&K Yuma Concrete Construction is a concrete contractor based in Yuma, AZ, and we pour driveways, patios, walks, footings and slabs for homeowners and small businesses in San Luis, with careful ground work under every pour.
We pour in San Luis too. The ground comes first.
San Luis is its own city, with its own amendments to the building code and its own building permit and inspections office, so a job here runs on the city's rules. We're based in Yuma and work the cities around it, including Somerton, and our crew pours driveways, patios, walks and slabs in San Luis the way we do at home.
I look before we plan. Then we set the forms.
Before I plan a job in San Luis, I check with the city's building office on what it needs and look at the subgrade, the dirt the slab will sit on. Size, base work and the finish set the price, permit steps and the weather set the schedule, and the written estimate gives you your own figure.
- Whether the ground needs digging out and packing
- Which way water runs off the finished slab
- Where to cut joints so cracks follow them

Concrete is hard to undo. So the base comes first.
When a base is just raked level instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles with the dirt and cracks. A slab that falls toward the house sends rainwater at your foundation instead of away from it.
If a budget has to give, I'd cut a fancy finish before I'd cut the base, because nobody sees the base on day one but you live with it for years. We also cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack, on every driveway, patio or concrete sidewalk we pour.
It starts with a call. Then I come out myself.
01. Call or send a message
Call (928) 291-0009 or send a message through the form, and tell us what you want poured and roughly how big it is.
02. I come out and look
I come out myself, walk the ground, check where water runs and ask how you'll use the concrete, because a patio and a driveway carry different loads.
03. Your written estimate
You get a written estimate showing what you're paying for. Before we set a date, I check what the city needs and we handle any permit.
04. The pour and clean-up
Our crew pours with me on site and keeps debris off the street, since the city holds inspections until a site is clean. Then we walk it together.
Tell us about your slab. We'll come take a look.

Read through the answers below. If your question isn't here, call (928) 291-0009 and ask me.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in San Luis?
I check with the city's building office before we set a date, because what's needed varies with the job, and when a permit is needed we handle the application and inspections. Starting early is costly, since the city adds an investigation fee on top of the permit fee, from $100.00 up, whether or not a permit is issued later.
Which building codes apply to concrete work in San Luis?
San Luis builds to the International Building Code and International Residential Code, with its own amendments in the city's building code. For concrete, the amendment that matters most covers footings, since every exterior footing has to sit at least 12 inches below undisturbed ground, or 12 inches into an engineered pad, and we dig and form to that.
How does the heat around San Luis affect a concrete pour?
Heat matters more than rain here, since weather records for Yuma put the yearly average at 76.0°F with 3.28 inches of rain over 1991 to 2020. Concrete finished in midday heat can dry too fast and leave a weak, dusty top, so we time pours around the heat and let the slab cure, the wait while it hardens, before you use it.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one did?
It can, since concrete shrinks as it dries, but we decide where. Control joints give it a straight line to crack along, and a dug-out, packed base keeps the slab from settling with the dirt, which is usually what breaks an old slab apart.
