Professional concrete slab and foundation installation, replacement, and repair services from experienced Utah County contractors. Expert structural concrete for garages, sheds, home additions, and more.
Upper Edge Concrete offers professional concrete slab and foundation services for residential and light commercial projects throughout Utah County. Whether you're building a new garage, adding a shed, or expanding your home, a properly installed concrete foundation is essential for long-term structural integrity.
Concrete slabs and foundations require proper excavation, reinforcement, and curing to ensure stability. Our local concrete professionals understand Utah County's soil conditions and construction standards, ensuring your foundation is built to perform for decades.
Level ground prep and soil compaction
Gravel base for drainage and stability
Steel reinforcement for strength
Smooth, level surface with proper cure time
Quality concrete foundations and slabs are critical for structural integrity. Professional installation ensures your project is built right from the ground up.
Properly engineered slabs and foundations provide stable support for buildings, preventing settling, cracking, and structural failure. Critical for long-term building performance.
Concrete slabs last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. They resist Utah's freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and heavy loads better than wood or other foundation materials.
Concrete foundations cost less than pier-and-beam or basement foundations while providing excellent support. Lower maintenance needs save money over the structure's lifetime.
Unlike wood foundations, concrete doesn't attract termites, carpenter ants, or rodents. This eliminates pest-related foundation damage and the costs associated with treatment.
Concrete is non-combustible and won't rot from moisture exposure. This provides superior protection for your building's structural foundation compared to organic materials.
Quality foundations support higher property values. Garages, sheds, and additions built on proper concrete slabs are valuable improvements that appeal to future buyers.
vs. Pier-and-Beam: Concrete slabs provide more stability, don't create crawl spaces where pests can live, and require less maintenance. No floor bounce or sagging over time.
vs. Gravel/Dirt: Concrete creates a clean, level, permanent surface. No settling, no weed growth, no dust or mud. Essential for protecting equipment and maintaining structure integrity.
vs. Wood Platforms: Concrete won't rot, doesn't need treatment, and handles moisture exposure. Far superior load-bearing capacity for heavy equipment or vehicles.
Professional installation ensures proper load distribution, drainage, and long-term performance. Our contractors follow engineered specifications for every project.
We assess soil conditions, drainage, frost depth, and load requirements. Engineering calculations determine proper slab thickness, reinforcement needs, and base specifications. Building codes and local requirements are verified.
The area is excavated to proper depth (typically 12-18 inches total). Poor soil is removed and replaced if needed. A compacted gravel base (4-6 inches minimum) provides stable support and facilitates drainage below the slab.
Forms are set to define slab dimensions and elevation. Rebar grid (typically #4 rebar at 12-18" spacing) is positioned for tensile strength. Anchor bolts and embedded items are installed per plans. Vapor barrier protects against ground moisture.
High-strength concrete (5,000+ PSI for foundations, 4,000 PSI for slabs) is poured in one continuous placement when possible. Concrete is vibrated to eliminate air pockets, screeded level, floated smooth, and finished to specifications. Control joints are cut to manage cracking.
Concrete cures for minimum 7 days (28 days for full strength). Proper curing prevents surface defects and ensures design strength. Final inspection verifies elevation, flatness, and quality. Building can proceed once concrete reaches specified strength.
Most slab and foundation projects take 3-7 days from excavation to completion, plus 7-day minimum curing before building. Complex projects may take longer. Timeline depends on size, weather, and site conditions.
Schedule ConsultationSlab and foundation costs vary based on size, strength requirements, site conditions, and complexity. Understanding these factors helps with accurate budgeting.
Square footage drives material costs. Standard slabs are 4-6" thick. Foundations or heavy-duty slabs may require 6-8" thickness, increasing concrete volume and cost.
Wire mesh is standard. Rebar grid adds cost but provides superior strength. Foundation walls require vertical and horizontal rebar per engineering specifications.
Level sites with good soil cost less. Rocky terrain, poor soil removal, steep slopes, or difficult access increase excavation and preparation costs.
Proper drainage systems, vapor barriers, and waterproofing add cost but are essential for longevity. Foundation walls may require drainage tile and waterproof coatings.
