Adding basement patios and walkouts is one of the best ways to bring natural light, accessibility, and outdoor living to your lower level. At Utah Basement Finishing, we specialize in designing walkout basements and outdoor patios that integrate seamlessly with your finished space. Whether you’re building from scratch or remodeling, we create functional exits and inviting outdoor areas that enhance your home.
Why Add a Walkout Basement or Patio?
Walkout basements aren’t just practical—they’re a lifestyle upgrade. By opening up your basement to the backyard, you increase usable space, improve light and ventilation, and create easier access for guests or tenants.
Benefits of basement patios and walkouts include:
- Adds curb appeal and usable outdoor space
- Increases natural light and airflow into the basement
- Provides safe, direct outdoor access from lower level
- Supports potential for rental units or basement bedrooms
- Ideal pairing with basement kitchens or game rooms
Full-Service Patio & Walkout Design
From excavation and retaining walls to custom concrete and drainage, we handle the entire process to ensure your walkout basement and patio are safe, durable, and beautiful.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Concrete Patios | Textured or stamped finishes, built to last and resist cracking |
| Walkout Doors | Sliding, French, or full-glass doors for light and security |
| Retaining Walls | Engineered to support soil and allow proper drainage |
| Drainage Solutions | Prevent water intrusion with grading, trenching, or sump systems |
| Stairs & Railing | Code-compliant access with safe, slip-resistant steps |
| Outdoor Lighting | Motion-activated or decorative lighting options available |
We ensure every project meets Utah building codes and integrates smoothly with existing basement windows or stairs.
Perfect Pairing with Finished Basements
Walkout access is the ideal complement to a finished basement. It allows your lower level to function like a true main-floor space—especially when paired with other rooms like living rooms, bathrooms, or theater rooms.
We can add a walkout as part of a full basement finishing package or through targeted remodeling services for existing basements.
