Concrete Contractors in Kissimmee, FL

Kissimmee is our home base, and homeowners looking for concrete contractors in Kissimmee tend to fall into two groups: owners of older houses near downtown and the lakefront, and owners of homes in the subdivisions that filled in after Walt Disney World opened nearby in 1971. The city counted 59,682 residents in 2010 and 79,226 in 2020, a 32.7 percent jump in ten years, and the 2020 census listed 30,370 housing units. We pour new driveways, patios, pool decks and walks, set slabs for sheds and additions, and repair or replace concrete that has cracked, sunk or scaled.

Built on the shore of Lake Toho

Wikipedia places Kissimmee on the northwest shore of Lake Tohopekaliga, with Shingle Creek running through the city and the Kissimmee River draining from the lake. The town predates the Civil War, was incorporated in 1883 after being called Allendale, and grew as a steamboat and railroad stop during Hamilton Disston's drainage era. Citrus was wiped out by the freezes of 1894 and 1895, and cattle carried the town until tourism took over in the 1970s.

That history shows up in the concrete. Blocks near Broadway and the lakefront have older walks and stoops laid by hand decades ago. Neighborhoods farther out have long stretches of driveways and patios poured in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, much of it on flat, low ground close to the water.

Rain, not frost, is what wears concrete here

Kissimmee does not deal with freeze-thaw damage the way northern cities do. Its problem is water. The 1991 to 2020 normals on Wikipedia show 52.57 inches of rain a year over about 119 days, with June the wettest month at 9.18 inches. Heavy summer storms hit almost daily, and a slab that holds water or sits on a washed-out base will settle and crack.

The worst recent test came after Hurricane Ian in 2022. Water pushed back up through the stormwater system from Shingle Creek into the Shingle Creek Reserve at the Oaks community, and the National Guard rescued more than 200 people there on October 1. County officials listed parts of Buenaventura Lakes and Poinciana among the extreme flooding areas the same week. After that kind of event we often find hollow spots under driveways and patios where sand has washed out.

So every Kissimmee job starts with grade and base. We pitch patios and pool decks away from the house, slope driveways toward the street or a swale, compact the sand base before forming, and cut control joints so cracking stays where it belongs.

City permits for drives and walks

The City of Kissimmee runs driveway access and sidewalk construction requests through its Energov self-service portal, under the "Driveway / Sidewalk Construction" request type. After the application, the Engineering Division asks for plans, and the city says to allow at least two business days for review. The city also notes that roads maintained by Osceola County or the Florida Department of Transportation fall under those agencies instead. If your new driveway or apron touches the right-of-way, we confirm which agency controls your street and handle the plan submittal before we pour.

Downtown and the historic district

The Kissimmee Historic District, bounded by Aultman Street, Monument Avenue, Penfield Street and Randolph Avenue, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and includes 189 historic structures. The Old Osceola County Courthouse nearby is the oldest continually operating courthouse in Florida. On these streets, front walks and steps are part of how the house reads from the curb, so we match broom texture, joint layout and edge detail to what is already there instead of pouring something that looks out of place.
