Concrete flatwork is the unglamorous backbone of a well-built home — the driveway you back out of every morning, the sidewalk that takes a Utah winter, the garage floor your tools roll across, the basement slab everything else is built on top of. BaseScape pours residential concrete for the four projects that matter most to Wasatch Front homeowners: driveways and exterior approaches, sidewalks and patios, basement slabs and foundation flatwork, and garage floors. The difference between concrete that lasts 50 years and concrete that fails in five comes down to subgrade preparation, mix design, control joints, and curing. We don't cut corners on any of them.
Your Questions, Answered
Structural Safety
Slab thickness and reinforcement are spec'd to the load — 4 inches for sidewalks and patios, 5–6 inches for residential driveways, 6+ inches for RV pads. Every exterior pour uses 4,500 PSI air-entrained concrete (5–7% entrained air) for freeze-thaw protection.
Code Compliance
Driveway approaches tied to a city street typically require a permit. BaseScape pulls every required permit, schedules inspections, and verifies your specific city's slope and approach geometry requirements before forming.
Drainage & Moisture
Every exterior slab is poured with a minimum 1% slope away from your foundation. Interior basement and garage slabs are installed over a 10–15 mil vapor barrier with verified subgrade drainage.
Dust & Disruption
Saw-cutting control joints uses water-fed saws with contained work areas. Demolition is scheduled in a single day where possible, with debris hauled the same day. Forms protect lawn, landscaping, and existing hardscape.
Cost & Affordability
Residential concrete on the Wasatch Front typically runs $8–$15 per square foot for standard broom finish, $12–$20 for stamped or exposed aggregate, and $5–$10 for interior basement slabs. A typical 2-car driveway runs $5,000–$9,000.
Aesthetics
Choose from broom finish, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns (slate, flagstone, brick, wood plank), salt finish, or smooth troweled interior. Integral colors and acid stains are available. Sample boards are part of the design consultation.
Timeline
Most residential concrete projects pour in a single day after 1–2 days of forming and prep. Walk on the slab after 24 hours, drive on it after 7 days, fully cured at 28 days. From signed estimate to finished walkthrough is typically 2–3 weeks.
