Ogden concrete, one part of the house at a time
Most people start looking for a concrete company because of one spot they see every day. Maybe the driveway scrapes your bumper where it meets the gutter, the front steps have tipped toward the street, or a low patch by the garage door turns into an ice rink every January. Ogden Utah Concrete pours and fixes the everyday concrete around a house: the driveway and its approach, the walk and steps to your front door, back-yard patios and stamped areas, garage floors and side slabs. When an old slab has cracked or sunk, we also look at whether a repair can save it before anything gets torn out.
Concrete in Ogden comes in two flavors. In the older neighborhoods of central Ogden and up on the east bench, you find narrow driveways that open onto alleys, porches that sit four or five feet above the yard with steep steps to match, and sidewalks pushed up by the roots of big old trees. In newer subdivisions like the ones in Roy, North Ogden and West Haven, the slabs are younger, but new-construction lots often have backfill beside the house that keeps settling for years. Each kind of house needs a different plan, so every estimate starts by figuring out which one you have.
Our weather is the other half of the story. Water soaks into the top of a slab, freezes overnight, thaws by lunch and does it again dozens of times a winter, and the salty slush that drops off your car in the garage speeds the damage along. Concrete that holds up here starts below the surface with a firm, compacted gravel bed and a slope that carries water away from the house. Then comes an air-entrained mix (tiny bubbles that give freezing water room to expand), joints cut where you want cracks to go, and a penetrating sealer once it has cured.

How it works
From your first call to a slab you can park on
- 1
Tell us about the spot
Use the form or call and describe what you have in mind, even if all you know is that the driveway is falling apart. Rough sizes and a phone photo help, but you don't need them.
- 2
A look in person
The contractor calls you back to talk it through and set a time to see the place, because slope, access and the old concrete all change the plan.
- 3
Your free estimate
You get an estimate for the work, with the size, thickness, finish and any tear-out or base work talked through before anything is scheduled.
- 4
Pour day and patience
Base, forms and steel go in, the concrete is placed and finished, and then it needs time to cure before the car, the grill or the hot tub comes back.
Good to know
What a concrete neighbor would tell you
Give new concrete a salt-free first winter
Fresh concrete is still gaining strength, and that is when de-icing salt does the most harm to the surface. For the first winter, shovel early and throw sand down for grip. After that, a penetrating sealer every few years keeps salty meltwater from soaking in.
Watch where the water goes
Before you replace a sunken walk or patio, go stand next to it in a rainstorm. If a downspout empties beside it or the yard tilts toward the house, deal with that too, or the new slab will end up right where the old one did.
Old porch steps are their own animal
On many older Ogden homes, the front steps were poured separately from the house and have slowly tipped or pulled away as the ground under them moved. If the steps are in one piece, a repair may do. If the support underneath is gone, a new set on footings is the fix that lasts.
Plan for the heaviest thing you park
A slab for the family car is usually 4 inches thick, but the spot where a work truck, camper or loaded trailer sits should typically be 5 to 6 inches, with thicker edges. Building that in on day one is far easier than chasing cracks later.

Questions
Questions Ogden homeowners ask about concrete
Will new concrete hold up to Ogden winters?
Yes, when it is built for them. That means an air-entrained mix, a compacted gravel base, a slope that sheds water instead of letting it pool and freeze, control joints at the right spacing, and a sealer once the slab has cured. Keep de-icing salt off it the first winter, and hose the salty slush off the garage apron on mild days.
Do I need a permit to replace my driveway or front steps?
Often for part of the job. The approach where your driveway meets the street usually sits in the city's right-of-way, so the city typically wants a permit for that piece, and newer subdivisions often have an HOA that wants to see colors and materials first. Any digging also calls for a quick call to 811 so buried lines get marked, and the estimate visit is a good time to sort out what your city or county asks for.
How much does a new driveway or patio cost?
It depends on things you can see on the estimate visit: the square footage, how thick it needs to be, how much old concrete has to be broken out and hauled off, and how much digging and base the ground needs. The finish matters too, since a plain broom finish is less work than stamped and colored concrete. Access counts, because a back yard reached only through a side gate takes more labor than a slab beside the street. Your free estimate puts real numbers on your own project.
Which towns do you cover besides Ogden?
Towns all around Ogden in Weber, Davis, Morgan and Box Elder counties. Close in, that means Roy, South Ogden, North Ogden, Riverdale, West Haven, Harrisville and Pleasant View. Farther out, it includes Layton, Kaysville, Clearfield and Syracuse to the south, Brigham City and Willard to the north, and Huntsville, Eden and Morgan in the mountain valleys.
When can you pour, and how soon can I drive on it?
Most driveways, patios and walks go in between spring and fall, when the ground is thawed and the nights stay above freezing. Once it is poured, you can walk on new concrete in a day or two and park the car on it after about a week. Heavy trucks and trailers should wait longer, since concrete keeps gaining strength for about four weeks.
Can my sunken slab be fixed instead of replaced?
Sometimes. If the slab is still in one piece and has simply dropped, it can often be raised back toward level and the empty space underneath filled. If it is broken into several pieces, crumbling on top or sitting on soil that keeps washing out, replacing that section is usually the smarter fix.
My old house has steep, narrow porch steps. Can new ones be different?
Usually, within what the space and your city allow. New steps can have lower risers, deeper treads and a bigger landing at the door, which matters a lot for kids, older relatives and anyone carrying groceries on an icy evening. The estimate visit is when the rise gets measured and you see what will fit.
