Concrete Contractors in Southchase, FL

Southchase is a compact, nearly all-residential community in south Orange County, and most people who call concrete contractors in Southchase want to get more out of a suburban lot. The community covers about 6.9 square miles, all land, and had 4,633 residents in 2000 and 16,276 in 2020. Housing units went from 1,434 to 5,267 over the same years, and only 3.8 percent were vacant in 2020. That low vacancy says most homes are lived in year-round by owners who want driveways, patios and walks that work for daily life.

Neighbors on every side

Southchase sits next to Meadow Woods to the east and Taft to the north, part of the fast-growing band between Orlando and Kissimmee. Like its neighbors, it is unincorporated Orange County, so any right-of-way or permit question goes to the county. The streets are a mix of established neighborhoods and newer additions, which means we see everything from builder-grade driveways only a few years old to slabs that have been down for more than two decades.

Making a small yard usable

On many Southchase lots the back yard is modest, and a well-planned slab makes a big difference. Common requests include a back patio that connects to a sliding door, a slab for a screen enclosure, a side walk to the trash cans and a pad for an air conditioner or generator. We look at where you walk now, where water flows when it rains and what your HOA allows, then shape the concrete to fit. A patio that is a foot wider in the right place is worth more than one that is bigger in the wrong place.

Driveways that need more room

Builder driveways are often sized for two cars and nothing else. Widening a drive or adding a side parking pad is one of the most practical upgrades for a family with teenage drivers or a work truck. We cut a clean edge on the existing slab, dowel the new section to it so the two move together, and match the broom finish as closely as possible. New concrete will look lighter for a while and blend in over time.

Rain is the enemy

The Orlando area averages about 51 inches of rain a year, mostly in summer, and storms build almost every afternoon from May into October. A slab with too little slope or a base that was not compacted will show it within a few years: puddles that never dry, cracks across the middle and panels that drop near downspouts. We build every slab with enough fall to move water off, and we compact the base in layers.
