Concrete Foundation Utah — Outbuilding Foundations, ADUs & Pool Houses
A&E pours small-scale concrete foundations across Utah's southern and northern counties. Shed foundations, ADU foundations, pool house foundations — licensed, permitted, and engineered to Utah building code.
The Benefits of a Properly Built Concrete Foundation in Utah
A concrete foundation is the most critical structural element of any outbuilding — the difference between a shed that stands level for 30 years and one that settles, tilts, and eventually fails. At A&E Hardscape & Construction we pour small-scale concrete foundations across Utah for outbuildings, sheds, ADUs, pool houses, and workshops — properly permitted and built to Utah building code in Iron County, Davis County, Summit County, and all 9 counties we serve.
Utah's foundation requirements are specific — the frost depth in most of Utah requires footings at a minimum of 30 inches, and northern counties like Cache County and Box Elder County may require even deeper footings due to colder winters. As a licensed B-100 General Contractor we handle all building permits, engineering documentation, and required inspections for every foundation project. Call 435-253-5322 for a free estimate.

Concrete Foundation Types We Build in Utah
Every structure has different foundation requirements. We help you choose the right foundation type based on your structure, soil, and local building code.
Slab-On-Grade Foundations
A single poured concrete slab that serves as both the foundation and the floor of the structure. The most common foundation type for Utah sheds, workshops, and small outbuildings. Poured to the correct thickness with rebar reinforcement and proper base preparation.
Stem Wall Foundations
A concrete perimeter wall poured on spread footings with a slab floor inside — providing additional height and a crawl space below the structure. Required for some ADU and pool house applications and preferred in areas with expansive soils or drainage challenges.
Pier & Beam Foundations
Concrete piers poured at specific intervals to support a beam structure above — allowing air circulation beneath the structure and accommodating uneven terrain. Popular for decks, elevated outbuildings, and structures on sloped Utah lots.
Why Utah Homeowners Choose A&E for Concrete Foundations

We've poured foundations across all 9 Utah counties — from the red rock soils of Iron County and Washington County to the clay soils of Davis and Weber County — and we know what it takes to build a foundation that performs in each region.

"We hired A&E to pour the foundation for an ADU on our Layton property. The permitting process was handled entirely by A&E — we didn't have to deal with the city at all. The foundation was poured correctly and the ADU is now complete."
