Concrete cutting in Yuma AZ - clean, straight cuts right where you marked them
Need a cracked section out, a trench cut or a new opening in a wall? We saw it clean and leave the rest alone.
Concrete cutting removes only what you need. The rest stays put.
Concrete cutting in Yuma is what you call for when part of a driveway, patio, floor or sidewalk has to go, or a wall needs a door or window opening. We run a saw blade along a marked line, so the edge is straight and the concrete you keep isn't disturbed.
Most calls start with something you can see, like a cracked or sunken section, a slab in the way of an addition, or a trench needed for a new line. Breaking it out with a hammer leaves a ragged edge, while a saw cut gives a new driveway section a straight line to meet.
The price mostly turns on how many feet we cut, how thick the concrete is, whether steel runs through it and whether the pieces need breaking up and hauling. The schedule turns on whether a scan or a city permit comes first, and your written estimate covers both.
We plan concrete cutting first. Then we start the saw.
Before anyone cuts, I walk the slab or wall with you and we mark every line together, so nobody is guessing later about where the cut goes. We also talk through scanning for anything buried in the concrete, since a pipe or cable inside a slab doesn't show from the top.
Concrete is hard to undo, so I'd rather look twice than rush. We pick flat or wall sawing to fit your job and plan the cleanup with you, including where the water and cuttings go.
Concrete cutting covers more than one cut. Here's what we handle.
Flat sawing slabs
For driveways, patios, floors and sidewalks, a flat saw rolls across the surface and cuts straight down along the line we marked.
Wall sawing openings
To put a door or window opening in a concrete or masonry wall, a wall saw rides on a rail bolted to the wall for a square cut.
Trenches for new lines
When a pipe or line has to run under a slab, we cut a narrow trench instead of tearing up the whole floor.
Removing old sections
We cut a damaged or unwanted piece of a driveway or concrete patio into panels sized for breaking out and hauling, when removal is part of the job.
Control and expansion joints
We saw control joints, shallow grooves that give a slab a planned place to crack, and expansion joints that give concrete room to move.
Thick or reinforced concrete
A flat saw only cuts as deep as its blade reaches, so thicker sections take several passes or a different method, which we plan ahead.
Careful concrete cutting saves the slab you keep. It sets up the next pour.
When a cut goes badly, it's usually because the line was rushed or the depth was wrong. A shallow cut lets the piece snap past the line into concrete you meant to keep, and a cut in the wrong place can't be undone.
So we set the saw to the depth of the slab we find and keep the line straight from end to end. The old piece breaks out clean, and new concrete has a solid, square edge to meet, so the repair looks planned instead of patched.

How much does concrete cutting cost in Yuma?
Across the US, professional saw cutting of accessible 4- to 6-inch concrete slabs usually costs about $4 to $10 per linear foot, and that covers the sawing only. Small jobs may be priced mostly by a minimum charge rather than the per-foot rate. Your written estimate shows the figure for your cut.
Does a concrete cutter haul the concrete away after cutting?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and a cutter may make the cuts and leave the panels where they sit. Breaking, hauling and disposal can add more than the sawing itself, so ask whether a quote includes them. Ours says so in plain words.
Do I need a permit to cut a sidewalk in Yuma?
Yes, plan on one, because the City of Yuma issues permits to open, cut or dig in any street, sidewalk, easement or right-of-way. The application includes plans showing the work next to utilities, curbs and trees. Before we set a date I check what your job needs, and we handle the application and inspections.
Why scan concrete before cutting it?
So the blade doesn't hit something you can't see. Ground-penetrating radar can find rebar, the steel bars that strengthen a slab, along with post-tension cables, conduit and pipes. If a trench goes into the ground below, the Arizona Corporation Commission says digging starts only after all utilities are marked, or the owner or contractor can be fined.
Does a concrete cutting contractor need an Arizona license?
For work under a Yuma street or sidewalk permit, yes, it has to be a contractor licensed by the State of Arizona for that type of work, or a utility, telecom licensee or government agency. The state's exemption for unlicensed work covers only minor jobs under $1,000 and ends where a local building permit is required. We're licensed and insured.
