Concrete Patios in Cottonwood Heights, UT

Big enough for the furniture with chairs pulled out, plus a lane to walk around it. A table for six alone needs roughly 10 by 12 feet, and a grill or lounge chairs add more. Your lot and any HOA rules set the outer limit.

Often not for a patio poured at grade in your backyard, but each city keeps its own rules, and steps or landings tied to the house can be treated differently. HOAs may want to see the plan first. It all gets sorted out before work starts, and 811 is called before digging.

Spring through early fall, when nights stay above freezing. Summer pours start early to beat the afternoon heat. Late-fall pours can work with blankets and careful timing, but concrete never goes on frozen ground.

Yes, with air-entrained concrete, well-placed joints, good drainage and a sealer kept up every few years. Skip rock salt on it, especially the first winter, and use a plastic shovel so the sealer stays intact.

Dial (801) 747-0221 or use the form to share a rough size, a few photos and what you want the space for. You will hear from the contractor by phone to chat about the idea and pick a day to measure.

It depends on a handful of things: square footage, the finish (broom, exposed aggregate, colored or stamped), how much digging and base work the yard needs, whether an old slab has to be broken out and hauled away, and how easy it is to get concrete into the backyard. Steps, curves and a pump truck for a tight yard add to it. The estimate is free and walks through each piece.
