Concrete Contractors in Doctor Phillips, FL

Doctor Phillips is an established, lake-heavy community in southwest Orange County, and people looking for concrete contractors in Doctor Phillips usually want work that fits a well-kept home. The CDP had 9,548 residents in 2000, 10,981 in 2010 and 12,328 in 2020. Nearly 30 percent of its area is water, according to Census figures on Wikipedia: about 1.5 of its 4.9 square miles. We replace and upgrade driveways, pool decks, patios and walks, often on lakefront and golf-course lots where looks and drainage both matter.

From orange groves to neighborhoods

The community is named for Philip Phillips, a Central Florida citrus grower who helped develop key orange juice processing and packaging methods. By the early 1920s he owned thousands of acres of groves across nine counties. His holdings ran from Conroy Road south to the end of the Sand Lake chain, land that now holds Bay Hill, Orange Tree, Sand Lake Hills, Clubhouse Estates and Turkey Lake Park.

Because the neighborhoods were built over several decades, the concrete varies a lot. Some homes have original driveways that have cracked and settled, others have pool decks with worn coatings, and many owners want to replace plain broom-finish concrete with a decorative finish.

Lakefront lots and drainage

With so much of the area under water, many lots slope toward a lake or a retention pond. That is good for drainage if the concrete is graded right, and bad if water is directed toward the house instead. On every patio and pool deck we check the grade, the downspouts and where runoff ends up. We also avoid sending concrete washout or sediment toward the water when we clean up.

The Orlando area averages about 51 inches of rain a year, and strong afternoon storms come almost daily from May to October. Pool decks in particular need to shed water quickly so guests are not walking through puddles.

Higher-end finishes

Many Dr. Phillips owners ask about stamped patterns, colored concrete, exposed aggregate or cooler-surface finishes around pools. Each has trade-offs in heat, slip resistance and upkeep, and we explain those before you choose. Many neighborhoods here have associations with architectural review, so we plan colors and patterns within their guidelines and give you drawings for the application.
