Concrete Contractors in Winter Garden, FL

Winter Garden has two very different sides, and good concrete contractors in Winter Garden work in both. The city incorporated in 1908 and grew up as a citrus, turpentine and lumber town along the Orange Belt Railroad, with Plant Street at its heart. Then it boomed: 14,351 residents in 2000, 34,568 in 2010 and 46,964 in 2020. We pour and repair driveways, patios, walks and pool decks for older homes near downtown and for the many newer subdivisions around them.

Plant Street and the old town

Businesses along Plant Street formed the origin of downtown, and A. B. Newton, the first postmaster and first mayor, is remembered as "The Godfather of Winter Garden." Downtown sits on the West Orange Trail, a listed local landmark. The older homes in the blocks around it have walks, stoops and driveways that have been repaired over many decades. On those streets we match broom finish and joint layout so new work looks at home next to old.

Citrus freezes and a building boom

The Great Freeze of 1894 and 1895 badly damaged local citrus, and back-to-back freezes in the 1980s hurt it again, so production never recovered. Much of the old grove land became housing. That shift explains why so much of Winter Garden's concrete is fairly new, and why many homeowners now want to add to it: a bigger patio, a pool deck extension, a wider driveway or a side walk. Most of these neighborhoods have HOAs, and we design within their guidelines.

Lake Apopka on the north

Lake Apopka forms the city's northern border. Wikipedia notes it drew fishing crowds from the 1920s to the 1960s before heavy pollution collapsed that industry. Lots near the lake and the area's smaller lakes need careful grading, so water from patios and decks soaks into the yard rather than running toward the house or straight into a lake. We also contain washout and debris on site.

Rain, heat and timing

West Orange County shares the region's roughly 51 inches of annual rain and near-daily summer storms. We schedule early pours, watch the radar and keep fresh slabs moist while they cure in the heat.
