Driveways, patios, steps and slabs, formed, poured and finished by our own crew for a Utah freeze-thaw winter.

Concrete is where LSG started, and it is still the work we do the most of. Every slab is formed, reinforced, poured and finished by our own crew rather than handed to whoever is free that week, which is why the details that decide whether a slab lasts in this valley — compacted base, steel lifted into the slab, joints cut early, an air-entrained mix — are the same on a forty-foot driveway as on a single step.

Along the Wasatch Front a slab goes through well over a hundred freeze-thaw cycles a year and a winter of de-icing salt. That is the test every pour here has to pass, and it is what each service page below spells out in numbers: depths, reinforcement, joint spacing and drainage.

How a slab gets made

Four stages, in the order they actually happen. Every photograph is from one of our own jobs.

  1. 1Form

    The shape is decided here

    Flexible board bent and staked to the curve you actually want, set to the finished grade at both ends so the slab meets the door and the walk without a made-up step.

  2. 2Reinforce

    Steel lifted, not laid

    Mesh or #4 rebar tied and set on chairs so it sits inside the slab. Steel pulled to the bottom of a pour does nothing at all, which is the most common shortcut in this trade.

  3. 3Pour

    One continuous placement

    Placement is planned before the truck is ordered — chute, pump or barrow, and enough hands to keep moving. A pour that stalls leaves a cold joint through the middle of a finished slab.

  4. 4Finish

    Jointed before it cracks itself

    Broom finish for grip under snowmelt, then control joints cut early — roughly ten feet on a four inch slab. Cut late and the concrete has already chosen where it wants to crack.

Common questions

How soon can I drive on a new driveway?

Foot traffic after a day or two, cars after about a week, and heavy trucks or RVs after the slab has had closer to a month to gain strength. We give you the dates for your pour in writing.

Should I salt my new concrete?

Not in its first winter. De-icing salts are what flake the surface of young concrete; use sand for grip, and once it has cured, a penetrating sealer helps every winter after.

Do you repair concrete or only replace it?

Both. A sunken or cracked section can often be cut out and replaced on its own, and we tell you honestly when a slab is past saving rather than patching something that will fail again next spring.
