385-455-8915
Lehi Concrete Services installs concrete slabs and flatwork for residential and commercial properties in Lehi, UT. From garage floors and shed pads to sidewalks and utility areas, we build level, durable concrete surfaces designed for long-term performance.
We've worked on enough local projects to know exactly how Lehi's soil conditions, drainage challenges, and weather patterns affect concrete — and we build every slab with that knowledge in mind.
What Is Concrete Flatwork?
Concrete flatwork refers to any horizontal concrete surface poured and finished at or near ground level. This includes driveways, sidewalks, patio slabs, garage floors, shed pads, and more. It's one of the most common and practical types of concrete work — and one of the most important to get right.
A poorly installed slab can crack, sink, heave, or hold water in all the wrong places. A properly installed one can last for decades with very little maintenance.

Existing slab is cracking, crumbling, or breaking apart
Surface is uneven or has settled in spots
Water pools on the surface or drains toward your home or structure
You're adding a new building, shed, carport, or outdoor structure
Your current pad is too small for your equipment, vehicles, or storage needs
You want to improve the look and usability of your property
Concrete Slab Thickness — What's Right for Your Project?
Slab thickness depends on what the surface needs to support. Getting this right matters — a slab that's too thin for the load will crack early, and one that's over-built costs more than it needs to.
For sidewalks, walkways, and shed pads, 4 inches is the standard. These surfaces carry foot traffic and light loads, so a 4-inch slab is both practical and cost-effective.
For garage slabs with everyday passenger vehicles, 4 to 5 inches is the recommended range. If you regularly park trucks, SUVs, or heavier vehicles, bumping up to 5 to 6 inches gives you better long-term performance and resistance to cracking under load.
For RV pads, equipment pads, and shop floors, we typically recommend 6 inches or more. These surfaces deal with concentrated weight and repeated heavy use — a thicker slab handles that stress far better over time.
For commercial surfaces or areas with high load demands, 6 inches is the starting point, and some projects may require additional engineering guidance depending on the load requirements and soil conditions.
We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Before recommending a thickness, we look at what you're building, what will sit or park on it, and what the ground conditions are at your specific site. That's how you get a slab that holds up the way it should.

Why Concrete Is the Right Choice in Lehi, UT
Utah's climate puts concrete through its paces — hot summers, cold winters, and freeze-thaw cycles that can stress a poorly built slab. We use the right concrete mix for outdoor use in Utah's climate, correct joint spacing to control cracking, and proper slope to keep water moving away from your structures.
A slab built right in Lehi will handle everything the seasons throw at it. One built with shortcuts typically won't.
How to Maintain Your Concrete Patio
Concrete patios are low maintenance, but a little care helps them last longer:
Seal the surface every 2–3 years to protect against moisture and staining
Clean spills promptly, especially grease from grills
Avoid harsh de-icers in winter — use sand or a concrete-safe alternative
Fill small cracks early before water works its way in
Keep heavy loads off new concrete for at least 7 days after the pour
We're happy to answer maintenance questions even after your project is finished.
Lehi Concrete Services Concrete Slab Installation Process
Not every slab is built the same. A garage floor has different demands than a backyard shed pad, and a sidewalk is different from an RV pad. We match our installation approach to the job — every time.
Here's how we work:
Site review
We assess the area, measure dimensions, check grade, and plan for drainage
Excavation
We dig to the right depth based on the project's requirements
Base preparation
We compact the subbase and add gravel fill as needed to create a stable foundation
Forming
We set forms to define the slab's edges and ensure proper slope
Reinforcement
We add rebar or wire mesh when the project calls for it
Concrete pour and finishing
We pour, screed, and finish to the right texture
Curing
We protect the slab during curing to ensure full strength development
Good base preparation is everything. Most slabs that crack or sink early have one thing in common — the groundwork wasn't done properly. We don't skip those steps.

FAQs: Concrete Slabs and Flatwork in Lehi, UT
How much does a concrete slab cost in Lehi, UT?
Most homeowners and property owners in Lehi pay between $5 and $10 per square foot for standard concrete flatwork. A 20x20 garage slab typically runs between $2,000 and $4,500 depending on thickness and site conditions. Larger or more complex jobs cost more. The best way to get an accurate number is a free on-site estimate.
How long does a concrete slab last?
A properly installed concrete slab can last 30 to 50 years or more. Longevity depends on base prep, slab thickness, correct jointing, and how well it's maintained. Sealing the surface every few years adds significant life, especially in Utah's climate.
How long does it take for a concrete slab to cure?
Concrete reaches initial set within 24–48 hours, but you should wait at least 7 days before driving on a slab and 28 days before placing heavy loads. The 28-day mark is when concrete reaches its full design strength.
Do I need rebar in a concrete slab?
It depends on the application. Rebar is typically recommended for heavier-load slabs like garage floors, RV pads, and any slab over expansive or unstable soil. Wire mesh is often used for lighter residential flatwork. We assess your specific project and recommend the right reinforcement for the job.
How thick should a garage slab be?
For a standard residential garage with everyday passenger vehicles, 4 inches is the minimum. If you park trucks, SUVs, trailers, or heavier equipment, 5 to 6 inches provides better long-term performance. We always confirm thickness recommendations after reviewing the site.
Can concrete be poured in cold Utah winters?
Yes — but it takes extra planning. Cold temperatures slow curing and can damage fresh concrete if it freezes too early. We monitor weather conditions and use cold-weather concrete practices like insulating blankets and adjusted mix designs when needed. We will not pour in conditions that put your slab at risk.
