Serving Somerton, AZ and surrounding areas. (928) 655-8943
Custom Somerton Concrete is a concrete contractor serving Wellton, AZ with floor installation, driveways, and concrete flatwork - and we have been working in the Yuma County area since 2015. We know Wellton is not just a stop on I-8; it is a working community of homeowners who need concrete work done right at a fair price. Our crew handles everything from the permit through the final pour.
Many Wellton homes built in the 1970s through 1990s have original floors that are reaching the end of their useful life. Cracks, soft spots, and uneven surfaces are common in homes this age in this climate. We remove what is failing and pour a new floor built to current base-prep standards. Learn about our floor installation work.
A Wellton driveway takes decades of desert heat, the occasional monsoon storm, and daily vehicle traffic. We size the slab thickness and base depth for this climate rather than using a one-size approach, which is how driveways hold up for 20 years here instead of 5.
New additions, detached garages, and outbuildings on Wellton properties need a slab designed for the local soil. The desert ground here can shift with the wet-dry cycle, and a slab without proper sub-base prep and reinforcement will show cracks within a few seasons.
Wellton evenings are genuinely pleasant for much of the year outside of the peak summer months. A covered concrete patio with the right drainage slope and a light-colored or textured finish gives you outdoor space that is usable and holds its surface finish even under harsh UV exposure.
Properties near the Wellton-Mohawk irrigation canals and low-lying areas of the valley can experience soil erosion and grade issues. A concrete retaining wall holds the ground in place and keeps the landscaping and your slab from shifting when heavy monsoon rain falls.
In Wellton's heat, garages do a lot of heavy work - storing vehicles, equipment, and supplies that would not survive sitting in the open. A properly poured garage slab with the right finish resists oil, crumbling edges, and the heat-related expansion that damages thinner slabs over time.
Wellton sits in the Sonoran Desert along I-8, about 30 miles east of Yuma, in one of the hottest stretches of the American Southwest. A large share of the town's homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, which means original concrete work - driveways, floors, patios, and foundation slabs - is now 30 to 60 years old. Desert concrete ages faster than concrete in moderate climates. The combination of extreme summer heat, which regularly reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit, intense UV radiation, and the monsoon wet-dry soil cycle breaks down concrete surfaces and the bases beneath them faster than most homeowners expect. By the time cracking or settling is visible, the underlying base has usually been compromised for years.
Wellton also has a notable share of manufactured homes alongside its site-built housing stock. Manufactured homes present different challenges for concrete work - the connection between a new concrete apron, porch slab, or skirting wall and an existing pier-and-beam or aging slab foundation requires a contractor who understands both types of construction. A crew that only works on standard site-built homes will approach that situation incorrectly. We have worked on both types throughout the Yuma County area, and we treat every property as its own project with its own requirements.
Our crew works throughout Wellton regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The irrigation-dependent agriculture of the Wellton-Mohawk Valley means soil moisture levels in some parts of town vary more than in purely residential areas - a factor that matters when we are determining base compaction requirements for a new slab. We check local soil conditions before pricing any job in this area.
Wellton is built around the I-8 corridor, and most residential neighborhoods sit either just off the interstate or further back on quieter streets closer to the irrigation canals and farmland. The Wellton Elementary School District is a community touchstone for families throughout town. We have worked on homes from the properties near the school to the older houses on the edges of the valley. You can learn more about the area through the Wellton, Arizona Wikipedia article.
We also cover the smaller communities in this part of Yuma County. If you are in Ligurta, AZ or need concrete work in Tacna, AZ, our team serves those areas with the same crew and standards as Wellton.

(928) 655-8943Wellton is a small agricultural town of roughly 3,000 people located in Yuma County along Interstate 8, about 30 miles east of Yuma. The town grew alongside the expansion of irrigated farming in the Wellton-Mohawk Valley, which has been one of Arizona's most productive agricultural areas since the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District brought Colorado River water to the valley. The housing stock reflects that history: most homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, are single-family, and are owner-occupied. A mix of site-built homes, block construction, and manufactured homes makes up the residential fabric of the community.
Wellton is a close-knit community where residents know their neighbors and the Wellton Elementary School District is a center of local life. The town has its own post office, local businesses, and a character distinct from the larger Yuma metro area - even though residents drive to Yuma regularly for major services. Nearby communities in the same stretch of the I-8 corridor include Tacna, AZ and Roll, AZ, both of which we serve as part of our regular Yuma County coverage.
