Our Concrete Services
We construct driveways that endure Florida’s extreme temperatures, humidity levels, and constant vehicle traffic for years before they show early cracks in their surfaces. Each driveway is installed using an engineered base system, properly placed reinforcing materials, and finishing techniques to provide years of serviceability.
Our driveway construction company understands the conditions found with Fort Lauderdale’s limestone base and the area’s high water table. We adjust our construction practices (e.g., digging depths; type of concrete mixes used; curing procedures) as needed.
We offer our clients choices in finishes for their new driveway. We can install a standard broom finish, a textured finish called an exposed aggregate, or we can create decorative patterns on top of the finished driveway as well. All of the options will meet your aesthetic needs and will also meet all of your structural requirements.
Stamped concrete is an affordable way to create visually appealing elements from typical surfaces. Our company replicates the look of all types of natural stone, brick, tile, and wood at a lower price and with less maintenance than using the original material.
As a local contractor for stamped concrete, we have numerous design patterns and colors to choose from. With our services, you can choose from the most common patterns, such as slate, flagstone, European cobblestone, and wood planks, to name just a few examples that will match the architectural style of your home or property.
Stamped concrete is used on many different areas of homes, including stamped concrete patios, stamped concrete pool decking, stamped concrete sidewalks, and stamped concrete driveways. All stamped concrete installations receive a sealer to prevent damage from UV rays and water penetration – two key issues in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
Many applications benefit from a solid foundation provided by a concrete slab; e.g., garage floor slabs, shed base slabs, new home addition slabs, shop slabs, storage slabs. We pour slabs that are specifically designed for the load requirements and use of each application.
The site prep for many of the concrete slab contractors in my area is rushed. Not ours. The quality of the site preparation (i.e., proper grading, compacted aggregate base, installed vapor barrier, placed reinforcement) will greatly impact how long your slab will last versus developing issues with your slab in years rather than decades.
We take the same care in every project regardless of the scale of the project: concrete slabs for garden sheds, basement slabs, and garage slabs.
When done right, a concrete patio is an extension of your indoor living space. The concrete patios we build are durable enough to stand up to the high humidity levels found in Fort Lauderdale; they can prevent algae growth, and they are strong enough to support heavy furniture and foot traffic.
We work with our clients to develop the perfect design for their concrete patio so it fits into their way of life. From creating small, cozy seating areas to developing large entertainment areas or even connecting several different outdoor spaces using concrete patios and walkways, we will design a solution that meets your needs while providing you with the look you want.
In addition to providing you with the design you need, we also offer you a variety of finish options, including, but not limited to, a smooth troweled finish, a broom-textured finish, an exposed aggregate finish, and decorative concrete overlays. We also offer additional services such as building concrete patio fire pits, retaining walls, and steps to meet the needs of your design.
The primary role of a foundation is to carry the full load of the structure it supports. For this reason, we pour and install concrete foundations and footings that are at least as strong as local building codes require, and that also take into account the specific geotechnical properties and water table of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Residential home foundations, commercial building bases, shed and garage foundations, and pier and beam systems are all included in our concrete foundation services. In addition, each foundation will include adequate waterproofing, drainage solutions, and reinforcement to support the structure being built.
We have developed relationships with structural engineers, architects, and building officials, and they provide us with the information necessary to design and build each foundation with the stability required by your project.
Sidewalks and pathways made of concrete can direct where you are going as well as enhance the appearance of your exterior space. All of our walkways are designed and installed according to the specifications for a minimum amount of traffic flow and to provide safe travel under all weather conditions.
Whether you need a front entrance walkway or a garden path, a walkway around your swimming pool, or a set of multi-level concrete paths and steps, we will help to connect your different outdoor spaces with each other, so they appear to be part of a single cohesive outdoor living area.
In addition to providing functional areas of travel, we consider how to manage water drainage from your walkways, integrate lighting into your walkways, and provide access to these areas for potential maintenance needs when designing and installing them. We also have several decorative options available to you for your walkways, including the use of stamped designs, colored concrete, and exposed aggregate surfaces.
