Serving Somerton, AZ and surrounding areas. (928) 655-8943
Custom Somerton Concrete is a concrete contractor serving the Foothills, AZ area with stamped concrete, driveways, patios, and pool decks. We have worked in this community since 2015, and we understand the large-lot terrain, the desert soil conditions near the Santa Catalina Mountains, and how to design concrete surfaces that hold up through monsoon season and summer heat.
Foothills homeowners invest in their properties, and many want outdoor surfaces that match the quality of their interiors. Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, slate, or tile on driveways, patios, and pool decks - without the maintenance of individual pavers. See our stamped concrete work.
Large lots in the Foothills create space for outdoor living that most Tucson neighborhoods do not have. We build concrete patios sized for the space you actually use, graded to manage monsoon runoff, and finished to complement the desert landscaping that defines this part of Arizona.
Driveways on Foothills properties often cover significant ground, and desert soil that shifts between monsoon season and the dry months can crack a driveway that was not built with the right base depth. We design for the sub-grade we find, not the one we assume.
Pools are common on Foothills properties, and pool decks here need to handle intense UV exposure and surface temperatures that can exceed air temperature on hot summer days. We offer textured and light-colored finishes that stay more comfortable underfoot in direct desert sun.
Sloped lots near the Santa Catalina foothills often need retaining walls to create level outdoor areas and manage runoff during monsoon storms. A properly engineered concrete wall handles both functions and lasts far longer than block or timber alternatives in this climate.
Many Foothills homes are in HOA-governed communities with specific standards for exterior surfaces. We build sidewalks and walkways that meet those standards and connect driveways, entries, and outdoor areas in a finished, cohesive way.
The Foothills sits at the northeastern edge of the Tucson metro, where the desert meets the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Most homes here were built between the 1970s and the 1990s, which puts the original concrete work - driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways - at 30 to 50 years old. At that age, flatwork is past the point where patching extends its life. The desert heat puts UV pressure on sealed surfaces, monsoon rains probe every crack, and winter freeze events at the Foothills elevation can force water into gaps and expand them overnight. Homeowners in this area expect quality finishes, and the concrete needs to hold up to conditions that are harder than they look from a distance.
Large lots also mean more surface area to manage. A quarter-acre property with a pool, patio, and long driveway has significantly more concrete exposure than a typical urban lot. That scale requires careful drainage design - one low spot in the wrong place channels monsoon water under a slab. The Foothills also has many HOA communities along Skyline Drive and Sunrise Drive with appearance standards that affect what finishes and materials are acceptable. We have worked on properties throughout this area and know what those communities expect.
Our crew works throughout the Foothills regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. Properties near Sabino Canyon Recreation Area sit on terrain that varies significantly from one street to the next - some lots are nearly flat, while others have grade changes that require retaining walls or carefully designed drainage to keep flatwork stable. We factor that terrain into every estimate.
The Foothills has its own character compared to the rest of Tucson. Skyline Drive and Sunrise Drive are the main east-west roads most residents use daily, and the neighborhoods along them range from established mid-century homes to newer custom builds closer to the mountains. La Encantada on Skyline Drive is a landmark most homeowners here know well. We have worked on properties from the neighborhoods near the shopping centers up to the more remote lots higher in the foothills.
We also work regularly in Yuma, AZ and throughout the surrounding desert southwest region, so our experience with desert soil conditions and monsoon drainage runs deep across Arizona.
Call or fill out the estimate form. We respond within one business day and set up a time to visit your Foothills property at your convenience.
We walk the site, check the existing surface and soil conditions, and take measurements. You receive a written estimate with scope and pricing before committing to anything. No pressure, no vague numbers.
We handle any required permits, prepare the sub-grade to the depth your soil and slope require, set forms, place reinforcement, and schedule the pour for early morning during summer months to protect concrete quality.
After curing is complete, we walk the finished surface with you, clean up the site, and go over care instructions. You have a direct contact for any questions after we leave.

(928) 655-8943The Foothills refers to the residential area in the northeastern part of Tucson, Arizona, where the city gives way to the Santa Catalina Mountains. It is a well-established community known for larger lots, mountain views, and a quieter pace than central Tucson. Homes here range from modest ranch-style houses built in the 1970s to custom builds on large hillside lots closer to the mountains. Desert landscaping - decomposed granite, native plants, and boulder features - is the standard, and most properties have stucco exteriors and tile or flat foam roofs suited to the Sonoran Desert climate.
The community centers on Skyline Drive and Sunrise Drive, which run east-west through the heart of the Foothills. La Encantada on Skyline Drive is a gathering point for residents, and the area adjacent to Sabino Canyon Recreation Area draws residents who value access to the outdoors. Many neighborhoods are governed by HOAs, and the community as a whole has a high rate of owner-occupancy. Nearby Fortuna Foothills, AZ shares a similar desert-adjacent character, and we work across both communities regularly.
