Your driveway takes a beating from Florida heat, heavy rain, and daily traffic. We build concrete driveways in Rockledge that drain properly, handle the sandy soil underneath, and stay solid for decades.
Concrete driveway building in Rockledge involves removing your old surface, preparing a compacted base suited to Brevard County sandy soil, and pouring a reinforced slab with proper control joints and drainage slope - most standard two-car driveways take two to three active work days plus about a week of curing.
If you have been watching cracks spread across your current driveway or noticing puddles after every summer storm, those are signs the base beneath has shifted or the original grading was never right. Concrete driveway building done correctly starts underground - the base prep is what separates a slab that lasts 30 years from one that needs patching in five.
Beyond just the driveway surface, many homeowners also ask about concrete patio construction to create a connected outdoor space from driveway to backyard. Getting both done at once can save on mobilization and base-prep costs.
If a crack is wider than a quarter-inch, or one side of the crack sits higher than the other, the slab is moving - not just settling. In Rockledge sandy soil, that kind of movement tends to get worse over time, and patching will not fix the root cause.
Puddles sitting on your driveway for hours after a Brevard County afternoon storm mean the surface is not draining correctly. That standing water works its way into existing cracks and erodes the base underneath - what starts as a drainage annoyance becomes a structural problem.
If part of your driveway flexes underfoot or sounds hollow when you tap it, the base material has washed away and the concrete is unsupported. This is common in Rockledge properties where irrigation systems or heavy rainfall have gradually eroded the sandy base beneath the slab.
If you have mature oaks near your driveway - common in Rockledge older neighborhoods - and the concrete is buckling or rising along the tree line, root intrusion is almost certainly the cause. Patching over root damage is a temporary fix at best.
Every driveway project starts with a site visit and a written estimate before any work begins. We handle everything from demolition of the existing surface to final grading, so you have a single point of contact from first call to permit closure. For homeowners who want more than a plain gray slab, we offer brushed and broom finishes for traction - important for a state where afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily summer event - as well as stamped and decorative finishes if you want the look of brick or stone. If you are also planning work around your home exterior, our concrete sidewalk building service lets you tie the driveway into a continuous path to your front door.
We include proper control joint placement in every project - those scored lines you see cut into finished concrete are not decorative, they guide where the concrete cracks if it ever does, keeping any movement invisible and contained. Reinforcement with rebar or welded wire mesh is standard on projects where the soil conditions or load expectations call for it, and we always factor drainage slope into the design so water moves away from your foundation rather than toward it.
A four-inch reinforced slab with broom finish - the practical choice for everyday vehicles in any Rockledge neighborhood.
Five to six inches thick for homeowners who regularly park an RV, boat trailer, or heavy truck on the surface.
Patterns that mimic brick, stone, or tile - same durable concrete underneath, with a custom look that complements your home.
For properties with mature oaks or large trees close to the drive, we assess root proximity and incorporate barriers or design adjustments before the pour.
Rockledge sits on Florida sandy coastal plain, and that ground shifts and settles more than the clay-heavy soils in other parts of the country. That is not a reason to avoid concrete - it is a reason to make sure the contractor you hire understands base preparation and does not skip it. The City of Rockledge also requires permits and inspections for driveway work, which adds a few days to the timeline but means an independent inspector confirms the job was done right before the permit closes. We pull every permit ourselves so you do not have to visit the building department.
Brevard County also gets roughly 50 to 55 inches of rain per year, most of it falling between June and September in intense afternoon storms. Every driveway we build is graded to move water away from your foundation - not toward it. Homeowners in Cocoa, FL and Palm Bay, FL deal with the same soil and climate conditions, and we serve both areas regularly.
We respond within one business day. No phone quotes - we schedule a visit so we can measure the area, check drainage, look for tree roots, and give you a written estimate that covers everything.
We pull the required City of Rockledge permit on your behalf before any work begins. Permits typically take a few business days - we build that into the schedule so there are no surprises on start day.
The crew removes the old surface and hauls it away, then grades and compacts the base. This is the most important step - a properly prepared base is what determines whether your new driveway lasts 30 years or 10.
We pour and finish the slab, cut control joints, and coordinate the city inspection. Once it passes, we hand you the permit paperwork - documentation that the work was inspected and approved, which matters when you sell the home.
We will come out, take a look at your property, and give you a written estimate - no obligations, no surprise add-ons later. Most projects start within two weeks of permit approval.
(321) 358-0086We handle the City of Rockledge permit process from application to final inspection sign-off. You receive the permit documentation at project close - paperwork that protects your investment and simplifies any future home sale.
Sandy, shifting soil is the primary reason driveways fail in this area. We spend real time on base compaction and grading before the pour - the step that most determines how long your driveway stays solid.
Every driveway we build is graded to move water away from your home. Improper drainage is one of the leading causes of premature slab failure - we treat it as a design requirement, not an afterthought. The American Concrete Institute and the Portland Cement Association both identify drainage as a critical factor in driveway longevity.
The estimate you agree to at the start is the number you pay at the end. Demolition, base prep, the pour, finishing, and cleanup are all spelled out before anyone picks up a shovel - no line items that appear out of nowhere.
