Concrete work in Gainesville
Gainesville is our busiest city by volume and it splits cleanly in two. On the older in-town side — the Duckpond, Northwest and Southeast historic blocks — the work is almost always a replacement: a 1960s driveway that has heaved, spalled, or been patched one time too many, and a homeowner who wants the new one to look like it belongs to the house.
West of I-75 the jobs are newer construction: builder-grade patios that stop three feet from the back door, and owners who want a real outdoor living space instead. That is where most of our stamped patio and pool deck work in Alachua County comes from.
Either side of town, we quote in person. Gainesville lots vary enormously in access — some backyards you can back a truck into, some need a buggy or a pump — and access is a real line item, not a rounding error. We would rather look at it than guess at it.
What the ground here does to a slab
Alachua County soil is a clay-and-sand mix that behaves nothing like the pure sand out west of us. Clay expands when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, and a slab poured on unprepared clay will crack on that cycle no matter how good the finish is. We compact the sub-base properly and reinforce with rebar so the slab spans the movement instead of following it.
Where you'll find us around Gainesville
We work all over Gainesville and the surrounding Alachua County area, including around the Duckpond, Haile Plantation, Tower Road, Jonesville and Millhopper. If you are somewhere on the edge of that, call anyway — the map has soft edges.
