Hurricane pads built for heavy trailers
Hurricane is a town of toy haulers, shops and big side yards. Most of what gets asked for here is a place to park something heavy.
Hurricane
On a Friday afternoon, half of Hurricane seems to be hooking up a trailer. Sand Hollow is a few minutes away, the trails start at the edge of town, and garages here hold more machines than cars. All of that gear has to sit somewhere during the week. So the requests we hear from Hurricane run heavy. A pad for the fifth wheel, an apron at the shop door, a slab under the shed that holds the side by side.
Loads like that need thicker concrete and steel, even when the pour itself is small. One RV pad does not fill a truck, and larger crews often turn down work that small. Hurricane is on our way to St. George, and we group jobs here on one pour day. Text a photo of the side yard with a rough length and width. Sloped or tight spots, we come look at.
Pouring in Hurricane
- Sand on one side, clay on another
- Ground in the Hurricane Valley varies by neighborhood. Toward Sand Hollow it is loose red sand. Closer to the old fields it can be clay or silt that settles when it first gets soaked. We look at what you have and compact a gravel base to suit it.
- Built for the weight
- A loaded toy hauler is far heavier than a car, and a patio thickness slab will not hold it for long. Pads meant for RVs and trailers are typically 5 to 6 inches thick with rebar, and they need a full month before the rig goes on.
- A little higher, still hot
- Hurricane is around 3,200 feet, a few hundred feet above St. George, and summer days still top 100 degrees. Afternoon wind off the valley dries a fresh surface fast. We pour early and keep the slab wet while it cures.
Common jobs in Hurricane
- 1
RV and trailer pads
With Sand Hollow and miles of trails close by, a lot of Hurricane households own a trailer that needs a solid place to sit.
- 2
Shed and hot tub slabs
Larger lots here leave room for a shed or small shop, and each one needs a flat, level slab under it.
- 3
Driveway add-ons
A strip of concrete beside the driveway gives a trailer a way to the side yard without crossing gravel.
- 4
Patios
Evenings cool off quickly on the benches, and a bigger slab gives the family room to sit out after dark.

Hurricane: straight answers
How long before I can park my RV on a new pad in Hurricane?
Give it about a month. Concrete reaches full strength at 28 days, and a heavy trailer on a young slab can crack it. You can walk on it after about a day and drive a car on it after about a week.
Can you pour a pad along the side of my house?
In most cases, yes. We need the width between the house and the fence, the length you want, and a photo that shows the gate. The pad gets sloped so water runs away from your foundation and toward the street or a drain.
Is Hurricane easy for you to get to?
Yes. Hurricane is on the road between Colorado City and St. George, so it is one of the easiest towns for us to reach. We still group jobs by pour day, so ask about the next Hurricane date when you text.
