Sandy Hills Concrete for Steep Driveways & Big Snow Years
Living near the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon means amazing views, and it also means steep driveways, sloped yards, and winters that test every slab. Legend Construction and Concrete builds driveways, steps, and retaining walls for Sandy Hills homes that stay safe, solid, and good-looking through all of it.
Built for Hills, Not Just Flat Ground
A sloped driveway works harder than a flat one. Water and snowmelt run straight down it, ice builds up at the bottom, and tires need grip on the way up in January. Many Sandy Hills homes also sit on tiered lots where patios, walkways, and steps have to step down the hill instead of sitting on level ground.
We plan for that from the start. We set the grade so water drains away from your garage and foundation, add traction-friendly finishes like a deeper broom texture or exposed aggregate on steep sections, and use retaining walls and steps to turn slopes into usable space. The result is concrete that handles heavy east bench snow and still looks great in summer.

Sandy Hills Concrete FAQs
How do you keep a steep driveway from getting slick?
We use finishes that add grip, like a heavier broom texture or exposed aggregate, and we avoid overly smooth surfaces on steep sections. Proper drainage also keeps water from pooling and freezing. For very steep driveways, we can talk about additional options during your estimate.
Water runs into my garage. Can new concrete fix that?
Often, yes. We can reshape the driveway's slope, add a trench drain near the garage, or adjust how the slab meets the street so water flows away from your home instead of toward it.
Can you turn a sloped backyard into usable space?
Yes. With retaining walls, steps, and tiered patios, we can create level areas for seating, grilling, or play while working with your yard's natural shape.
Do retaining walls in Sandy need a permit?
Walls above a certain height, or walls that support a structure or driveway, may need a permit and engineering from Sandy City. We'll let you know what your project requires before any work starts.
How much does a sloped driveway cost compared to a flat one?
Sloped driveways usually involve more excavation, forming, and finishing work, so they typically cost more than a flat driveway of the same size. We'll give you a free written quote based on your actual site.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Legend Construction and Concrete is licensed and insured, and our workmanship is backed by a warranty. We'll walk you through the warranty details during your estimate.
