Concrete cutting in Orem UT - clean, straight cuts right where you need them
Need an opening in a slab or wall, or a trench across the driveway? We cut it clean and haul the pieces if you want.
Planning concrete cutting at your house?Here's how we handle it in Orem
Concrete cutting in Orem, UT usually starts with something you want changed: a trench for a drain line, a cracked section to cut out before a new concrete driveway, or a bigger window in a basement wall. At Driveline Orem Concrete, we saw straight, controlled lines with diamond blades so the concrete you're keeping stays clean and whole.
Before we cut anything, I ask what might be buried in the slab and whether you want the pieces hauled off, so the price covers the whole job you have in mind. A cut is hard to undo, and I'd rather settle those questions standing in your driveway than find out halfway through the slab.
Price moves with how many feet we cut, how thick the slab is, whether steel rebar runs through it, and whether it's a wall, which often costs more per foot. On small jobs, getting the saw there can outweigh the footage. Timing mostly waits on scanning and anything the city needs, and your written estimate lists what's in and what's out.
You'll know where every line goes and what the price covers before we start, so call (385) 533-2723 and tell me what you're cutting.
What our concrete cutting covers
The surface sets the saw, so the first thing I ask is whether we're cutting a floor, a driveway or a wall, and what you want left when we're done.
Slabs, driveways and patios
A walk-behind flat saw handles floors, driveways and sidewalks, cutting out a section or a trench line, often to make room for a repair or a new concrete patio.
Walls and window openings
A track-mounted wall saw cuts openings in basement and foundation walls, like a new doorway or a bigger window, and leaves straight edges ready for framing.
Round holes for pipes
Holes for drains, pipes and conduit get core drilled with a round bit instead of sawed, so they're priced apart from the straight cuts.
Why Orem calls Driveline Orem Concretefor the cuts others pass on
Working with us means one person plans your job from the first look to the final walkthrough, and you see the full scope in writing before a blade touches concrete.
The owner plans the cut
I come out to look at the job and plan it, and our crew lead runs the work on site, so the plan you agreed to is the one the crew follows.
In business since 2013
I spent years quoting jobs for a concrete supply yard, then learned the work on a crew before starting the company in 2013.
Licensed and insured on every job
We're licensed and insured, which matters when a saw is working inches from your foundation, your walls and whatever runs under the slab.
Awkward cuts we'll actually price
Tight basement walls, odd angles and cuts other crews won't quote are a big part of what we're known for, and I like figuring out why a job needs them.
Your satisfaction, guaranteed
That's our promise, and the job ends with you and me looking over the cut together so you can point out anything that doesn't look right.

How a cutting job runsfrom first call to walkthrough
You deal with me from the first look to the last walkthrough, and the written estimate tells you up front which cuts, holes and hauling are part of the price.
You reach out
Call (385) 533-2723 or send a message through the form, and we'll set a time for me to come see the slab or wall in person.
I look and ask questions
I measure the cuts, ask what might be inside the concrete and where the pieces should go, then write an estimate that shows what's included and what isn't.
We get it ready
Once you're ready, we sort out anything the city needs and pick a cutting day that leaves room for a scan or utility marking first.
Our crew lead runs the cut
Most saws run wet to cool the blade and hold down dust, so we vacuum or contain the slurry, since Orem counts nearly anything but storm water in its storm drains as an illicit discharge.
We walk it together
I walk the finished job with you, checking the edges and openings and making sure the cut pieces were hauled off or left in place the way you wanted.
Concrete cutting questions
How much does concrete cutting cost per foot in Orem?
Saw cutting concrete slabs and walls usually costs about $4 to $25 per linear foot across the US, and that's for the sawing itself. Where your job lands depends on the thickness, the steel and whether it's a wall, and the on-site estimate puts your own number on it.
Does the price of concrete cutting include hauling the concrete away?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and some cutters cut the lines and leave the panels sitting in place. If you want the concrete gone, ask whether a bid includes removal. Ours says plainly either way.
Should my slab be scanned before concrete cutting?
Usually, yes, since a professional scan can help find rebar, cables and conduit buried in the slab before a blade reaches them. Old drawings and what you can see on top help, but they don't prove a cut is clear, so the scan belongs on the calendar ahead of cutting day.
How do I apply for a building permit in Orem?
You apply online with the City of Orem, which takes building permits only through full online submittal, starting with an account in its online system. Before we schedule, we check with the city, and when a permit is called for, we handle the paperwork and set up inspections with you.
What is the best way to cut a basement egress window opening in Orem?
Start with the city's window rules, then cut the opening with a wall saw. Orem's rules for basement plans say every bedroom window, and at least one window in each below-grade basement, has to meet egress requirements, and those minimums are part of the approved plans, so the opening should match what the plans call for before we cut.
Do I need to call Blue Stakes before cutting a trench in my slab?
If the job digs into the dirt or rock under the slab, yes. In 2021, Blue Stakes said state law covers any work that moves earth or rock and needs notice at least two business days, and no more than 14 calendar days, before digging, so check current timing with Blue Stakes of Utah. Utility owners mark only the lines they own, usually up to the meter, so private lines past it won't be marked.
