Concrete Slab Installation
in Utah County, UT
Garage floors, shed pads, RV pads, workshop bases, and more. Properly poured with the right thickness, reinforcement, and base preparation for lasting results.
About This Service
Every Slab Built for Its Intended Use
Every garage floor, shed pad, workshop base, and RV parking surface starts with a properly poured concrete slab. If the slab is wrong, everything you put on top of it suffers. That is why getting the thickness, reinforcement, base preparation, and drainage right from the start matters more than most homeowners realize.
Rhode Concrete Corporation pours residential concrete slabs across all 19 cities in Utah County. Owner Bryce Jones and his son handle every slab project personally, from the initial site assessment through the final broom stroke. No subcontractors. No crew rotations. The same two people who give your estimate are the same two people building your slab.
Applications
Types of Concrete Slabs We Install
Not every slab is the same. We build each slab to match its intended use, with the correct thickness, reinforcement, and surface finish for the job.
Garage Floor Slabs
Garage floor slabs take more abuse than almost any other concrete surface. Vehicles drive on it daily, heavy tools and equipment get dragged across it. We pour them with a slight slope toward the garage door for drainage and apply a medium broom finish for traction.
- Vapor barrier for attached garages
- Medium broom finish for traction
- Slight slope toward garage door
Shed Pads
A concrete pad is the best foundation for a storage shed. It keeps your shed level, prevents moisture from wicking up through the floor, and stops pests from burrowing underneath. We pour the pad 2-4 inches larger than the shed footprint on each side.
- Oversized perimeter for clean base
- Blocks rodents and insects
- Keeps shed perfectly level
Workshop & Utility Slabs
A workshop, hobby shop, or utility building needs a slab that can handle heavy equipment, workbenches, and foot traffic for years. We finish workshop slabs with a light to medium broom texture, or a smooth trowel finish if you plan to add epoxy later.
- Maximum load capacity
- Smooth or broom finish options
- Easy to sweep and maintain
RV Pads
RV pads need to support concentrated wheel loads from vehicles weighing 10,000 to 30,000 pounds. We pour RV pads with rebar reinforcement to handle both the static weight of a parked RV and the dynamic load of driving on and off.
- Handles 10,000-30,000 lb loads
- Essential drainage slope
- Maneuvering room options
Hot Tub Pads
A filled hot tub with occupants can weigh 4,000 to 6,000 pounds, concentrated on a relatively small area. We pour hot tub pads with rebar reinforcement and precision leveling. Drainage slopes away from your home foundation.
- Precision leveling
- Drainage away from foundation
- Supports 4,000-6,000 lbs
General-Purpose Utility Pads
Equipment pads, generator pads, AC unit pads, trash enclosure pads, and other utility surfaces. These smaller slabs are straightforward projects that we can often complete in a single day.
- Often completed in one day
- Custom dimensions available
- Durable utility foundation
Why It Matters
Built Right for Utah County Conditions
Utah County's expansive clay soils create uplift pressure during wet seasons and shrinkage during dry seasons. Every slab we pour accounts for these conditions with proper base compaction, reinforcement, and control joints.

Pricing
Concrete Slab Cost in Utah County
Slab pricing depends primarily on size, thickness, and reinforcement requirements. Here are the current cost ranges.
Cost Per Square Foot
| Slab Thickness | Cost/Sq Ft | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| 4-inch slab (standard) | $5 - $9/sq ft | Shed pads, utility pads, light-use surfaces |
| 5-inch slab (medium duty) | $7 - $10/sq ft | Workshop floors, larger sheds, hot tub pads |
| 6-inch slab (heavy duty) | $8 - $12/sq ft | Garage floors, RV pads, heavy equipment |
Cost by Slab Size
| Size | Sq Ft | 4" Standard | 5-6" Heavy Duty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 | 100 sq ft | $500 - $900 | $800 - $1,200 |
| 10x12 | 120 sq ft | $600 - $1,080 | $960 - $1,440 |
| 12x16 | 192 sq ft | $960 - $1,728 | $1,536 - $2,304 |
| 16x20 | 320 sq ft | $1,600 - $2,880 | $2,560 - $3,840 |
| 20x20 | 400 sq ft | $2,000 - $3,600 | $3,200 - $4,800 |
| 24x30 | 720 sq ft | $3,600 - $6,480 | $5,760 - $8,640 |
| 30x40 | 1,200 sq ft | $6,000 - $10,800 | $9,600 - $14,400 |
| 40x60 | 2,400 sq ft | $12,000 - $21,600 | $19,200 - $28,800 |
Note: These ranges include base preparation, formwork, reinforcement, concrete, broom finish, and cleanup. Existing concrete removal (if applicable) adds $2 to $4 per square foot. Larger slabs (400+ sq ft) typically cost less per square foot because setup costs are distributed across more area.
How We Work
Our Slab Installation Process
Rhode Concrete Corporation follows the same structured process on every slab project. Bryce and his son personally handle every step.
Free On-Site Estimate
Bryce visits your property, measures the slab area, checks soil conditions and drainage, discusses your intended use to determine thickness and reinforcement, and provides a detailed written quote.
Site Preparation
We mark the slab location, excavate to proper depth (typically 8-12 inches below finished grade), and remove any topsoil, roots, or debris.
Base Compaction
We install 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base. In Utah County's clay soils, we pay extra attention to this step because poorly compacted base is the number one cause of slab failure.
Vapor Barrier & Formwork
For enclosed structures, we lay polyethylene sheeting across the compacted base. Then we build and level the perimeter forms to define slab dimensions, thickness, and drainage slope.
Reinforcement Placement
Wire mesh or rebar is positioned within the forms, supported on chairs to keep it at the correct height within the slab. The reinforcement type and spacing matches the load requirements.
Concrete Placement & Finishing
Fresh concrete is placed, consolidated to eliminate air pockets, screeded flat, and finished. We cut control joints at appropriate intervals (typically every 8-10 feet) to control cracking.
Curing & Follow-Up
We provide specific curing instructions. Proper curing means keeping the concrete moist for 3-7 days for maximum strength. We follow up to ensure your satisfaction.
