Before you call

Is my job too small?

Probably not. One step, one sidewalk panel and one small slab are all normal work for us. If a job is too small to make sense on its own, we will say so, and tell you what could be added to make the trip worth it.

How do we get started?

Text a photo of the spot with rough measurements. Sometimes the photo tells us enough to talk it through. Often we need to see it, so we come out, look at the ground, the slope and the access, and go over the job with you in person.

How long until I can use it?

You can walk on new concrete after about a day. Keep cars off for a week. Keep an RV or a heavy trailer off for a month, which is when concrete reaches its full strength.

Can you pour in the summer heat?

Yes. In July and August we pour early in the morning and keep the slab damp while it sets, so the surface does not dry out faster than the concrete underneath.

Do you work on both sides of the state line?

Yes. We are licensed in Utah and in Arizona, so the same crew pours in Hildale and across the line in Colorado City.

What should I send you?

A photo of the spot, the rough length and width, and your town. If there is a gate or a tight side yard, a photo of the way in helps too, because it tells us whether a wheelbarrow or a pump is needed to get the concrete there.

Do I need to be home for the pour?

Not always. We need a way into the yard, a hose bib that works and your say on where the edges go. Cabin and second-home owners can settle the layout by text and photos and see the finished slab on their next trip.

Will my new concrete crack?

All concrete can crack. Our job is to control where. We compact the base, add steel where the load calls for it and cut control joints so a crack follows the joint line instead of wandering across the slab.

What finish do I get?

A broom finish. It is the standard outdoor finish because the fine lines give your shoes grip when the slab is wet. Edges are rounded with a hand tool to reduce chipping.

Can you match my old concrete?

We can match the finish and the joint pattern. We cannot match the color on day one. New concrete is lighter and takes a year or two of sun and weather to settle toward the old slab next to it.

What do you do about the dirt under it?

We dig out the soft topsoil, bring in gravel and compact it. Many slabs fail because of what is under them, not the concrete itself.

Do you haul away the old concrete?

Yes. On a tear out we break up the old slab, load it and take it with us. You are left with new concrete and no pile in the driveway.

When is the pour season on the mountain?

In Duck Creek, Panguitch and the other high towns we pour from about late spring to early fall. Fresh concrete and hard frost do not mix, so we will not pour when the nights are freezing.

Do I need a permit?

Your city or HOA may have rules, especially for driveway work near the street. Check with yours before we set a date.

What kind of jobs do you not do?

House foundations, commercial work, the pool itself and decorative stamped or stained concrete. Pool decks we do. We stay with small residential pours because that is what we are set up to do well.
