Custom Residential Concrete Services
Our driveways start on compacted sand, with 4 inches of concrete for cars or 5 to 6 for trucks and boats, steel set mid-depth. We slope away from the garage, cut joints every 10 to 12 feet and permit the apron.

Most Jacksonville families use the patio once the afternoon storm passes. We size patios for a grill, a dining set or a full outdoor kitchen, with a gentle fall away from the house so rain runs off.
Finish choice matters in humid weather. A light broom texture keeps grip when wet, while a smooth trowel finish suits a covered lanai. We can tie into an existing screen enclosure or leave footings for a future roof.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete
Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone, brick or wood for less cost and upkeep than the real thing. Color goes in the mix or on the surface, and the pattern is pressed in while soft. Popular patterns include:
- Ashlar slate
- Random flagstone
- Herringbone brick
- Wood plank
- Cobblestone
Salt air and strong sun fade unprotected surfaces, especially near the ocean. We seal every stamped job with a UV-stable sealer and suggest resealing every two to three years. Around pools, we add slip-resistant grit to the sealer.
Walkways link the driveway, front door, side gate and pool. We pour them at least 4 inches thick on compacted sand, with a slight cross slope so rain sheds into the lawn instead of sitting on the path.
Live oak roots lift and crack many older walks in Avondale and San Marco. When we replace a heaved section, we assess the roots, add reinforcement where it helps and keep new panels flush with the old ones.
Concrete Repair & Replacement
A cracked slab does not always need to come out. Hairline cracks can be routed and sealed, and shallow spalls patched with bonded repair mortar. We check the base first, because a patch over washed-out sand fails fast.
When settlement or heaved panels make repair a poor value, we saw-cut the damaged sections, haul them off, re-compact the sand and pour new concrete that matches the existing slope and joint pattern of the slab.
Concrete Steps & Porches
Front steps take daily foot traffic plus runoff from the roof. We form steps with even rise and run, tie rebar into the porch or foundation, and pitch each tread slightly forward so water drains off the edge.
Older homes in Springfield and Murray Hill often have porch steps that have crumbled or pulled away from the house. We remove the failed concrete, check what sits underneath and build new steps with a non-slip finish.
Sheds, workshops, garages, generator pads and additions all need a slab that starts right. We strip organic topsoil, compact the sand in lifts, add a vapor barrier under enclosed space and set rebar on chairs, typically 4 to 6 inches thick.
Northeast Florida sand drains well but loses support when water undermines it. We dig footings to firm bearing soil, compact the base and place rebar to plan, pouring monolithic slabs or footings with stem walls as designed.
The seasonal water table across much of Duval County sits roughly 18 to 42 inches below grade. We account for it in floor heights and slab design, and coordinate inspections with your builder and the City's Building Inspection Division.
Retaining walls hold back soil along driveways, raised patios, waterfront lots and sloped yards. Sand digs easily but washes out just as easily, so every wall gets a reinforced footing, steel tied into the stem and drainage.
We backfill with gravel and add weep holes or a perforated drain so rain escapes instead of pushing on the wall. Poured walls can keep a clean form finish, take a texture or color, or double as seating.
A pool deck has to stay cool underfoot and grippy when wet, even when July highs reach about 91°F. Light colors, a knockdown texture or stamped concrete with slip-resistant sealer all help. Decks slope away from the water.
Expansion joints go at the coping, with control joints across the deck to handle movement. If an older deck has worn texture over a stable base, resurfacing can refresh it without demolition. New decks can include stamped borders.
When rain washes sand from under a slab and it sinks, lifting it is often smarter than replacing it. Leveling costs less than new concrete, finishes in hours and puts the surface back in use quickly. Our three methods:
- Mudjacking with cement-based slurry
- Polyurethane foam injection
- Stone slurry grout leveling
After the lift, we patch the holes, seal the joints and point out the cause, usually a downspout or low spot that let water wash out the base. Fixing that source keeps the slab from dropping again.
Concrete Parking Pads
Many homeowners need room for a second car, a boat, an RV or a work trailer. A concrete pad beats gravel or grass, which ruts in wet weather. We size the pad to what you park, up to 6 inches thick.
Side-yard pads usually need light grading to drain well, and a pad that reaches the street needs a right-of-way permit for the curb cut. We handle the paperwork and set the pad flush with your existing driveway.
Custom Commercial Concrete Services
Warehouse, retail and office floors need the right thickness and a flat, level finish. We prepare the subgrade, place vapor barriers and reinforcement per plan, and power trowel the surface for racking, forklift traffic, tile or polishing.
Joints are saw-cut within hours of finishing to control cracking, and we apply hardeners or sealers where specified. For tenant build-outs, we also cut and re-pour sections of existing floors for new plumbing, drains and equipment.
Commercial buildings need foundations built exactly to the engineer's drawings. We excavate, compact and test the base, set rebar cages and anchor bolts, and pour footings, grade beams and stem walls on schedule so framing can follow.
Concrete lots outlast asphalt in Jacksonville heat, where blacktop softens and ruts under the summer sun. A lighter concrete surface stays cooler, reflects more light at night and handles delivery trucks without constant patching or resealing.
Drainage drives every lot design here. With about 56 inches of rain a year and hurricane season running June 1 through November 30, water has to reach inlets and retention ponds fast. We grade to the engineer's slopes.
Entrances that meet a city street require a right-of-way permit through JaxEPICS and a surety bond on file. We handle both, coordinate inspections and phase the pour so customers and tenants can keep getting in and out.
Loading docks and truck aprons take more abuse than any other concrete on a commercial site. We pour them thicker, with heavier reinforcement and doweled joints, so they survive tractor-trailers backing and turning in the same spot daily.
Equipment pads for HVAC units, generators and transformers must be level and sized to the unit. Dumpster pads need extra depth because waste trucks load their front wheels heavily. We can also pour enclosure footings and set bollards.
Commercial walks must meet ADA slope and width rules, include detectable warning surfaces at ramps and connect cleanly to parking and entrances. We form and pour walks, ramps and landings to the approved site plan for inspection.
Curbs and gutters guide stormwater to inlets and keep vehicles where they belong. We hand-form or slipform curb depending on length, pull right-of-way permits for public street work and match new sections to existing grades.
Commercial Concrete Repair & Replacement
Broken or sunken concrete on a commercial property is a trip hazard and a poor first impression. We grind or replace raised edges, patch spalled areas and reseal failing joints, phasing repairs so entrances and parking stay open.
For larger failures, we saw-cut and remove the bad panels, rebuild the base where water has carried sand away and pour new concrete matched to the surrounding grade. Night and weekend scheduling is available when needed.
Decorative Concrete Services
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is made by pressing textured mats into fresh concrete to mimic slate, flagstone, brick or wood. We pair a base color in the mix with a contrasting release color on top, so the pattern reads clearly.
Timing is everything in Florida heat. We pour early, bring enough hands to stamp the whole area before it sets and use evaporation retarders on hot days. A quality sealer then guards against UV, rain and pool chemicals.
Colored Concrete
Integral color is blended in at the plant, so it runs through the full depth of the slab. If the surface chips or wears, the same tone shows underneath. It also cuts the glare of plain gray concrete in Florida sun.
Tan, buff and terracotta are local favorites because they hide sand tracked in from the yard or the beach. Colored concrete pairs well with a broom finish, exposed aggregate or stamped borders for a custom look at modest cost.
Stained Concrete
Acid and water-based stains soak into concrete to create color that will not peel like paint. Acid stains react with the cement for a mottled, marbled look, while water-based stains offer more colors and even coverage.
Staining suits new slabs and existing concrete still in good shape, and it is popular on covered patios, garage floors and interior slabs. We clean and prep the surface, apply stain in layers and finish with sealer.
Why We Are The Best Concrete Company in Jacksonville
Our Jacksonville Professional Concrete Process
Good concrete is mostly preparation. The pour lasts a few hours, but the work before and after it decides whether a slab stays flat for decades or cracks in year one. Here is how we run every job, large or small.
Assessment & Estimate
We visit the site, measure the area, check the soil, note where water flows and ask how you will use the space. You then get a written estimate listing thickness, reinforcement, finish, permit needs and price.
Preparation
We remove old concrete, grass and organic soil, then grade and compact the sand in lifts. Where needed we add crushed stone, drainage and a vapor barrier. Permits and utility locates are done before any digging starts.
Forming, Reinforcement & Pour
Forms are set to the planned grade and slope, with rebar or wire mesh on chairs so it sits mid-slab. On pour day we start early to beat the heat, place and consolidate the concrete, finish it and cut joints.
Curing & Clean Up
Fresh concrete needs moisture to gain strength, so we apply curing compound or keep the slab damp and shield it from heavy rain. Forms come off in a day or two, then we backfill edges and clean the site.
How Much Do Concrete Services Cost?
Most residential concrete in Jacksonville runs $6 to $22 per square foot installed. Plain driveways sit at the low end and stamped work at the top. Thickness, reinforcement, access, demolition, finish and permits move the price within that range.
The table shows typical installed costs on the First Coast. Bigger projects often price lower per square foot, while small jobs carry a minimum charge for setup and the concrete truck. Your written estimate lists everything included.

If your project is not listed, ask anyway. Many jobs combine services, such as a driveway with a matching front walk or a pool deck with a stamped border, and planning them together gives a better result.
Yes. Homeowners call us for driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, slabs and repairs. Business owners, property managers and general contractors hire us for parking lots, foundations, warehouse floors, curbs, loading docks and dumpster pads across the area.
Residential work centers on drainage, appearance and long life on sandy lots. We work around your schedule, protect your landscaping and pull the permit for any driveway apron or sidewalk that sits in the city right-of-way.
Commercial work follows engineered plans and inspection schedules. We coordinate with general contractors, engineers and inspectors, phase work so businesses stay open, and pour to the thickness and strength listed in the project specifications every time.
Typical installed prices per square foot: driveways $6.00 to $10.00, patios $7.00 to $12.00, sidewalks and walkways $8.00 to $14.00, slabs $8.00 to $13.00, exposed aggregate $10.00 to $15.00 and stamped or decorative work $14.00 to $22.00. Price depends on:
- Slab thickness and reinforcement
- Removal of old concrete and grading
- Finish type, color and pattern
- Site access for the truck and crew
- Right-of-way or building permits
Small projects may carry a minimum charge, since setup, forming and truck delivery cost about the same for a small pour as a larger one. Your written estimate shows where every dollar goes before you commit.
Yes. We pour stamped concrete in ashlar slate, flagstone, herringbone brick, wood plank and cobblestone patterns, using a base color and a release color for depth. These finishes are popular on patios, pool decks and entries.
We also stain new and existing concrete with acid or water-based products and add integral color at the plant for slabs that hold their tone. Exposed aggregate is another option, giving a natural stone texture with extra grip.
Every decorative surface gets sealed to protect the color from UV, rain and salt air. Near the beaches and around pools, we recommend resealing every two to three years with slip-resistant grit for safer footing.
Most residential driveways, patios and slabs take two to four days on site: one or two days for removal, grading and forming, then a day to pour and finish. Stamped jobs can add a day for detail and sealing.
Weather plays a big part in scheduling. Afternoon thunderstorms are common from June through September, so we track forecasts and pour early in the morning. If heavy rain is coming, we move the pour rather than risk the surface.
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours and drive a car on it after about seven days. Heavy trucks should wait closer to 28 days, when the concrete reaches its design strength.
Yes. We offer free on-site estimates for residential and commercial concrete projects in Jacksonville and surrounding communities. We measure the area, review drainage and site conditions and talk through finishes before preparing a written price.
