VEHICLE PARKING & STORAGE · BOUNTIFUL & SURROUNDING AREAS
Create a dedicated, heavy-duty parking space for your motorhome, boat, camper, or utility trailer. Planned around your vehicle, access, site conditions and connections to existing concrete.
Base, thickness, reinforcement, drainage and use-after-pour instructions are set for each project. Any examples on this page are planning context, not a standard specification for every site.
PLANNING FOR THE LOAD
Parking a 10,000 to 25,000-pound motorhome, boat trailer, or toy hauler on grass or loose gravel creates constant headaches. Tires sink into mud after winter snowmelt, weed growth overtakes the gravel, and trailer tongue jacks sink unevenly into soft subgrades.
Standard 4-inch residential driveway concrete isn't designed for sustained heavy axle point loads. At Concrete Plus Contracting LLC, we plan RV pads around the vehicle loads, required reinforcement and a suitable compacted base.
Whether you need a full 40-foot parking pad along your side yard, a driveway wing expansion with angled transition flares, or reinforced concrete approaches through an access gate, our crew builds flatwork that handles heavy loads year after year.

Parking Pad Options
We evaluate your vehicle dimensions, trailer hitch styles, and property boundaries to build a pad that makes parking and loading effortless.
Poured with #4 steel rebar or structural fiber reinforcement over a compacted gravel sub-base. Engineered to withstand high wheel point loads, hydraulic leveling jacks, and multi-axle trailers with specifications selected for the intended loads.
We review the condition and levels of the existing driveway before specifying the connection, isolation details and transition to a new parking area.
Transform unused side lawn into clean parking space. We grade slopes, build flared transitions at the gate, and install expansion isolation joints against foundation walls.
Forming flatwork cleanly around sewer dump cleanouts, water hydrants, and 30/50-amp electrical pedestal pads for effortless at-home RV maintenance and preparation.
Installation Steps
Heavy vehicles require rigorous groundwork. Here is our sequence from site evaluation to final broom finish.
We evaluate your trailer length, axle configuration, slide-out clearance, and street backing angles to determine the optimal pad width and length.
We check property setbacks, side-yard gate clearance, overhead eaves, and underground sprinkler lines before equipment excavation begins.
Topsoil and sod are stripped away. We install 4 to 6 inches of crushed gravel road base and mechanically compact it with heavy vibratory plate tampers.
Forms are staked straight to laser grades. We dig thickened perimeter edges along vehicle tire paths and tie a grid of deformed steel rebar on support chairs.
High compressive-strength ready-mix concrete is poured, consolidated around steel reinforcement, screeded flat, and floated with positive drainage slopes.
We apply a durable medium-broom traction finish for wet-weather grip, tool clean border edges, and saw-cut control joints to relieve curing stresses.
Planning Factors
We evaluate these practical site details to ensure your estimate is tailored to your vehicle and property.
A 20-foot boat trailer requires different slab dimensions and concrete thickness compared to a 42-foot fifth wheel with hydraulic leveling jacks.
We check that fence gates and property boundaries leave comfortable walking room on both sides of the vehicle with slide-outs extended.
Tight residential streets often require an angled concrete approach flare where the pad connects to the driveway to make backing in simple.
Wasatch Front clay subgrades require deep aggregate base compaction. Concrete must slope at least 1/8" per foot away from the house foundation.
Existing sprinkler heads and irrigation valves in the side lawn must be identified, capped, or rerouted before excavation begins.
Connections to existing concrete need a site-specific detail based on the condition, levels and expected movement of both surfaces.
Practical Questions
Here are answers to common questions about concrete parking pad thickness, sizing, and curing time.
RV axle weights, leveling jacks, trailer supports and subgrade conditions affect the slab design. Share your vehicle information so thickness, base and reinforcement can be reviewed for the intended loads.
We inspect the existing driveway before recommending a connection or isolation detail. Dowels are one possible detail where suitable; they do not guarantee that adjoining slabs will move identically.
Use the pad only after the release provided for your specific pour and vehicle loads. Heavy vehicles and concentrated jack loads require particular care; a general website timeline cannot confirm readiness.
Measure the complete vehicle setup, including doors, slide-outs, steps, access for loading and the turning approach. We can discuss the proposed footprint and property constraints during a site review.
Identify known irrigation lines, heads and valve boxes before excavation. Protection or relocation needs should be discussed and included in the agreed scope.
Share the vehicle or trailer type, its loading information if available, desired dimensions, project city and photos of the access route.
Complementary Work
Pair your new RV pad with front driveway replacement, site demolition, or connecting pathways.
