Concrete Contractor Serving Marion County & Central Florida

How the work changes from town to town

The concrete is the same everywhere. The ground and the access are not, and those two things set the plan for a pour more than the town name does.

Sand. Around Ocala, Silver Springs and most of Marion County the lots are fine sand over limestone. It drains fast and it moves if the base is not compacted, which is behind a lot of the cracked driveways we are called to look at. It is also soft enough that a loaded mixer truck will not always make it to the forms, which is why concrete pumping in Ocala and the towns around it is half of what we do.

Rock and water. West toward Dunnellon, Inverness and Crystal River the limestone is close to the surface and the lots near the rivers and lakes are tight. Flood-zone builds there often sit on stem walls, so block fill and stem wall pumping comes up more often than it does in town.

Planned communities. In The Villages, Summerfield, Lady Lake and Leesburg most of the work is additions to an existing home: lanai extensions, wider driveways, a walk to the golf cart garage. Those usually need the community's approval before a form is set. See concrete patios and pool decks and concrete driveways for how each is built.

Acreage and commercial. On farm and acreage property the calls are for building pads, barn aisles and long drives, covered under concrete slabs and foundations. Near the Wildwood interchange and around Gainesville more of it is commercial concrete and pumping on infill sites.

How distance is priced

Jobs close to the Silver Springs yard carry no travel in the price. For the farther towns the trip is built into the quote up front, and we batch that work so one trip covers more than one pour. Typical ranges are in the Ocala concrete cost guide, the full list of what we pour is on the concrete services in Ocala page, and finished slabs are in the concrete project gallery.
