Concrete Contractor in American Fork, UT - Driveways and Slabs Built on a Packed Base
Driveline Orem Concrete pours driveways, patios, walkways and slabs for homeowners in American Fork, UT, and fixes the settled or cracked ones, starting with why the old slab failed before we plan the new one.
Concrete work in American Forkplanned from the ground up
We're based in Orem and work American Fork along with Lehi and Pleasant Grove. Most calls here are driveways, patios and walks, plus the slab that sank or cracked and needs someone to ask why first.
Your price turns on the size, how much old concrete comes out and how much digging and packing the ground underneath needs. The schedule turns mostly on curing, the wait before new concrete can take your car, and your written estimate shows what's included and what isn't.
Call (385) 533-2723 or send the form, and I'll come out, look at the job and write it up for you.
Our work in American Forkfrom patios to foundations
Everything we pour in Orem we pour in American Fork too, from a backyard patio to a settled slab that needs raising.
- Concrete driveway building Driveways dug out and packed before the pour, so the new slab doesn't settle along with loose fill.
- Concrete patio construction Backyard patios sloped away from the house, because water running toward the foundation finds its way in.
- Stamped concrete services For front walks and patios where you want the look of stone without setting every piece by hand.
- Concrete sidewalk building New walks, or replaced sections where an old one has heaved or tipped and catches a toe.
- Garage floor concrete Garage slabs poured for car weight, with control joints, shallow cuts that give cracks a straight line to follow.
- Decorative concrete Color and texture for an entry or patio that sees more guests than cars.
- Concrete retaining walls Yards with a grade change get walls with drainage behind them, so water doesn't push them out.
- Concrete floor installation Interior slabs for basements, shops and additions, set on a packed base and checked for level.
- Concrete pool decks Pool decks with a finish that grips wet feet and sheds water away from the pool and house.
- Concrete steps construction Front and back steps rebuilt with even risers, since one odd step height is what trips people.
- Slab foundation building Slab foundations for garages, shops and additions, with rebar, the steel inside that holds a cracked slab together.
- Foundation installation Foundations for new homes and additions, poured to the plans and worked around the builder's schedule.
- Concrete parking lot building Small property owners and businesses get parking areas built heavier where delivery trucks turn and stop.
- Concrete footings Footings for decks, porches and additions, the wide base that spreads a building's weight into firm ground.
- Foundation raising Raising a sunken slab or settled foundation, once we've found what washed out or compressed underneath it.
- Concrete cutting Openings, trenches and removal lines, including the awkward cuts a lot of crews won't price.
Why American Fork calls usfor clear bids and hard jobs
Working with us means a lot of questions up front and a written plan you can read, so you know what's happening before the truck shows up.
Clear bids before the pour
I started out quoting concrete at a supply yard, so your bid lists what's included and what isn't, because concrete is hard to undo once it's down.
We find the cause first
Before we price a replacement, I look for what made the old slab fail, since a new pour over the same bad ground usually fails the same way.
Awkward jobs priced, not passed
Settled slabs, tight access and cuts other crews skip are a lot of what we're known for, and we'll tell you plainly what yours involves.
The base is not where we cut
When a budget is tight, people want to trim the base because nobody sees it, but a nice finish on poorly packed dirt is the part that sinks.

From call to walkthroughon an American Fork job
We keep it simple by putting everything in writing first, so you know who's coming, what's included and what isn't before anything gets scheduled.
You call or send the form
Call (385) 533-2723 or fill out the form with a few lines about the job, and we'll get back to you to set a time to come out.
I look and write it up
I come out, look at the slab and the ground around it, ask a lot of questions and write an estimate showing what's included and what isn't.
We check with the city, then pour
Once you're ready, we check with the city on anything the job needs before we schedule it, and our crew lead runs the work on site.
We walk it together
When the crew's done, I walk the finished job with you and go over how long to stay off it while it cures, so the top hardens properly.
What American Fork slabs needunder the concrete and around it
Most of what goes wrong with a slab starts below it or beside it, so these are what we check first.
Hazard maps with blank spots
The Utah Geological Survey's hazard map covers only certain study areas, so a blank result for your lot doesn't mean there's no hazard there.
Fault zones on the map
The survey marks Wasatch Fault study zones where a quake can break the ground surface, worth checking for your lot before a foundation goes in.
Fill that was raked, not packed
Slabs laid on loose fill settle and crack as the dirt compresses, so we dig out to firm ground and pack the base before pouring.
Water running toward the house
A slab that falls toward the foundation sends runoff straight at your house, so we check where water goes before we set forms.
Cracks in the wrong places
Concrete shrinks as it cures, so we cut control joints while it's fresh rather than let cracks pick their own spots.
Your American Fork concrete estimatewritten out before we pour
Tell us what you want poured or fixed and where it is, and we'll reply within one business day to set up a free on-site estimate. I'll come out, write it up and there's no pressure to book.
Pouring in American Forkto the state's building standards
American Fork homes fall under Utah's statewide construction code, which the legislature adopts, and its reach has covered repairs and remodels, not only new houses. Codes get updated, so I'll tell you which version applies to your driveway or patio when I come out to look.
Most of what we're called for here looks like what we see across the cities around Orem: a driveway that dropped at the garage edge, a patio tipping toward the house, steps pulling away. Our crew lead has seen those before, so the work starts with the cause.
Other cities we work in
If your city has its own page below, start there, and if it doesn't, call (385) 533-2723 anyway, because we work in plenty of places without one.
