How much yard does a full walkout need?

The stairs run along the house, so a normal side yard usually works. Deeper basements need a longer run.

Homeowner's Guide

Full walkouts, explained simply.

What does a full walkout cost?

Ours start at $18,500 when your basement windows sit below the ground. That covers engineering, the permit, excavation and haul-off, the door cut, engineered concrete walls, stairs with landings, the drain, and a walkway. Rock, railings, and design upgrades like form-liner walls, colored concrete, lighting, and accent features add cost. You get the exact number in writing before we start.

Partial or full: which one do I need?

It depends on your basement. If the floor is only a few feet below the yard, a partial walkout does it. If your basement windows sit below the ground, you need a full walkout, with taller walls and more stairs. Not sure? Text a photo of the side of your house.

Do I need a separate entrance for a basement apartment?

Most Utah cities require one before a basement can become a legal apartment or ADU. A walkout checks that box, and adds the daylight and dignity that make the space rentable.

How much yard does it need?

Usually just a normal side yard. The stairs hug the house, and the engineer sets the exact run from your basement depth. Send your address and we'll check your lot for free.

Is a railing required?

When the drop next to the stairwell is more than 30 inches, code requires a guard. We price black powder-coated steel railing as a clear line item, so you choose with real numbers.
