Alpine, Utah
Concrete for Alpine slopes and level lots
Concrete work in Alpine often comes down to a few hillside questions, even on gentle lots: which way water runs, how firm the ground is, and how deep the frost reaches. We quote driveways, patios, walkout basements, retaining walls, stamped concrete and repair across Utah County with those questions answered first.
Lots up on the east-side benches and foothills often sit on gravelly alluvial ground or old lake shorelines, and some of that ground can settle once soaked, which is why water is kept out from under slabs. Footings for walls, steps and walkouts have to sit beneath frost depth, roughly 30 inches for much of the valley, and lots up on the high benches near the canyons can need deeper ones.

Around Alpine
Lots near Lone Rock and Upper Bells Canyon Reservoir in Alpine each fall a little differently, and the first step on any concrete project is to trace where runoff goes before choosing the slab, wall or drain.
A wall that retains more than about 4 feet of soil, or carries a driveway, house or slope on its uphill side, is the kind a city building department may want engineered and permitted.
Neighbors in Highland, Cedar Hills, Draper and American Fork get the same grade-and-drainage approach as Alpine homeowners.

Questions
Alpine FAQs
Can you build a walkout basement on my Alpine lot?
Most homes with a basement can get one, though the work varies with the grade. A lot that falls away needs less digging, while a flat lot needs a stairwell with walls on both sides. Either way, plan on a header over the new door, a building permit, and in most cases a letter from an engineer.
When does a retaining wall in Alpine need an engineer?
Usually once it stands taller than about 4 feet, or when a driveway, a building or more slope sits above it and adds weight. The city's building department sets the exact threshold, so the requirement is confirmed before the design is final.
How far down do footings need to go in Alpine?
Deep enough to sit under the frost, which for most valley lots means around 30 inches. Homes higher on the benches or close to a canyon mouth may need deeper footings, and the local building department names the exact figure.
Why is water pooling against my slab or foundation in Alpine?
Usually because the slab has settled or tipped toward the house, or because runoff from uphill has no path around it. Lifting or replacing the slab to restore its slope, and adding a drain or extending downspouts, typically solves it.
How do I request a concrete quote in Alpine?
Call (801) 210-6285 or use the form with the project, the rough size and a note about the slope or any drainage trouble. You will get a call to discuss it and arrange a time to see the lot, and the quote costs nothing.
Why do slabs on hillside lots crack or sink?
Nearly always because of water underneath them. Runoff from above, a downspout emptying at the slab edge, or soil that settles once it is soaked can let a section drop or tip toward the house. Fixing the water first, then lifting, repairing or replacing the concrete, keeps the problem from coming back.
