St. George concrete for finished backyards
St. George has plenty of concrete companies and most are set up for bigger work than a back patio. That size is the only work we take.
St. George
Most of the concrete poured in St. George goes into new subdivisions, where one crew does a whole street of driveways in a week. A homeowner who wants a ten by twelve patio behind a house that is already built is a different kind of customer. The job is small, the access is through a side gate, and the yard is finished. Crews set up for tract work often turn that kind of job down.
A job that size is the kind we look for. We are set up the other way around. Small forms, a wheelbarrow path through the gate, and a pour day shared with other homes in town so one truck covers several jobs. Text a photo of the spot with rough measurements. We will tell you what we can from the photo, or come out and take a look.
Pouring in St. George
- Heat sets the schedule
- St. George sits at roughly 2,700 feet and summer afternoons run well past 100 degrees. Concrete placed in that heat dries on top before it cures underneath. From late spring into fall we pour at first light and keep the slab damp while it cures.
- Red sand, clay and what is under your yard
- Soil changes fast across town. Some lots sit on loose red sand, some on clay that swells when it gets wet, and some on fill brought in when the lot was graded. We dig out soft material and compact a gravel base so the slab rests on something that does not move.
- Finished yards and tight side gates
- Most small jobs here happen behind a house with rock landscaping, drip lines and a block wall already in place. That means wheelbarrows through a gate instead of a truck backing up to the forms. We plan the route in before pour day to help protect the yard.
Common jobs in St. George
- 1
Patios
A lot of St. George homes come with a small builder patio, and the first thing owners want is more shade and more slab.
- 2
RV and trailer pads
Trailers, side by sides and boats are common here, and a pad beside the garage keeps them off the gravel.
- 3
Tear out and replace
Older in-town driveways and walks have had decades of sun and irrigation water, and single panels crack or sink.

Curbing and mow strips
Rock yards need a clean edge to keep gravel out of the lawn strip and the planting beds.

St. George: straight answers
Do you pour in St. George in July and August?
Yes. Summer pours start at first light so the concrete is placed and finished before the worst of the heat. After that we keep the surface damp while it cures. If a day looks too hot or too windy for a good finish, we move the pour.
My back yard only has a side gate. Can you still get concrete in?
Usually, yes. Most small pours in finished yards go in by wheelbarrow or a small buggy through the side gate. Send a photo of the gate and the path along with the spot itself, and we will tell you if anything needs to move first.
Do I need approval before adding a patio or RV pad?
Your city or HOA may have rules about new concrete, especially RV pads, driveway widening and anything visible from the street. Check with them first. Once you know what is allowed, text us the size and a photo and we will take it from there.
