Concrete contractor in Lindon, UT - new concrete that fits what's already there

Check with the city, because Lindon's building permit rules exempt sidewalks and driveways from a building permit, but exempt work still has to meet the code and the city's other ordinances. Lindon Public Works also lists its own permits, including an encroachment permit and a land disturbance permit. I check with the city on every job before we schedule it, and if a permit is needed we take care of the paperwork.

The Lindon Building Department handles building permits, plan review for new construction and on-site inspections, and it's the place to check the current rules. A permit application goes to the building official with a site plan and anything else city ordinance asks for, and the contractor schedules every inspection by calling the city with the job address and permit number. When your job needs a permit, we handle all of that.

A retaining wall no more than 4 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, is on Lindon's exempt list unless it's holding up extra weight on the soil behind it, like a driveway or a building. Measure from the footing, not the grass, because the buried part counts, and a wall over that height isn't exempt. We check with the city before we build either way.

Yes, Lindon's city code makes it unlawful to carry on any business or trade in the city without first getting a city license. A separate license applies to each business name and each branch location inside city limits, so it's a fair question to ask anyone you're thinking of hiring.

On the old slabs we tear out, it's usually the base, dirt that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so the slab settled right along with it. Water finishes the job when nobody checked where it runs or the slab falls toward the house, and cracks wander when control joints, the grooves cut to tell a crack where to go, were cut late or skipped. Concrete does crack, so I'd rather plan where it happens than tell you it won't.

A Lindon driveway's price comes mostly from its size and what has to happen under it, so I price it after seeing your lot. A plain broom finish, the light texture that gives tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamping or color, and rebar, the steel inside the slab, helps hold cracked pieces together. If the budget is tight, I'll tell you to keep the base work and save on the finish, because nobody sees the base on day one but it decides whether the slab lasts.
