Concrete Driveways, Patios & Pavers in Greater Orlando

Concrete and pavers are only as good as what's under them. Florida's sandy soil and heavy rain mean the base prep, thickness, and drainage decide whether a slab or driveway lasts or cracks and settles.

We build driveways, patios, walkways, paver installations, and retaining walls for Greater Orlando homes, with the grading and drainage detail that keeps water moving away from the house.

We do not publish a standard duration for concrete and paver work — the area, the base work and the weather set it — so the written schedule you get with the estimate carries the dates, including the curing time before vehicles. The stages are the same everywhere.

1. Site visit and measure — the existing surface, the soil and base, where water goes now, the driveway apron and the right-of-way, access for the equipment and the concrete truck.
2. Scope, material and layout — poured, stamped or paver; thickness and reinforcement; edging, borders and drains; the square footage priced line by line.
3. HOA review and permits — driveway width, materials and colours approved where the community reviews them; the right-of-way permit for the apron and the building permit for retaining walls filed with your city or county building department.
4. Excavation and base — the old surface out, the base cut to grade, compacted in lifts and pitched away from the house.
5. Forms and reinforcement or edge restraint — forms, rebar or mesh and control-joint layout for concrete; bedding sand and edge restraint for pavers.
6. Pour or lay — the slab placed, finished and saw-cut, or the pavers laid, cut, compacted and jointed with sand.
7. Cure and close-out — the slab kept off limits while it cures, inspections called where a permit applies, the site cleaned, a walkthrough with you.

A residential driveway in Central Florida is typically poured at 4 inches over a compacted, graded base, with control joints saw-cut so any cracking happens where we planned it, and the slab pitched to shed water toward the street rather than the garage. Where the driveway meets the public right-of-way, the apron usually needs its own permit from your city or county building department, and we handle that.

Driveways are quoted per square foot after we measure and check the base; the planning table shows our concrete and paver ranges.
