Concrete Contractor in Ogden, UT

A rough idea of size and use helps most: what will park, sit or play on the concrete. Photos of the area, your HOA's guidelines if you have one and any survey or plot plan showing property lines make the conversation faster.

Freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salt are the main threats anywhere in northern Utah. Air-entrained concrete, good slope, well-placed joints and a sealer handle most of it, and holding off on salt until the second winter gives a new slab a strong start.

It depends on the project and on the local rules, which come from the city or, outside city limits, the county. Work in the public right-of-way, like a driveway approach, usually needs one, and taller retaining walls often need engineering. Checking with the building department early keeps the project on schedule.

Yes, and a retaining wall is usually what makes it work. The wall holds back the high side or supports the low side so a level court or patio can go in, and planning both together keeps drainage working for the whole yard.

Use the form on this page or dial (801) 405-3633, then mention the size, what you're building and a photo if one's handy. The contractor rings you back to go over it and find a time to see the property.

It's the biggest factor in how long a slab keeps looking good. Water that seeps into the surface freezes and expands dozens of times a winter, so outdoor work uses air-entrained concrete, slopes to shed meltwater and has joints placed to control cracking. Skip the salt bag entirely during a new slab's first winter (sand gives traction without the damage), and a penetrating sealer will help it stand up to brine in the years after.
