Concrete Contractors in Boca Grande, FL

Boca Grande is a small residential village on Gasparilla Island, and concrete contractors in Boca Grande have to plan around the causeway, the island's streets and Lee County's rules. The island is shared by Charlotte and Lee counties, but the village itself is entirely in the Lee County portion. We pour driveways, golf cart parking pads, walks, pool decks and steps for island homes, and we replace concrete worn by salt, sun and storms.

Getting there

The Boca Grande Causeway opened in 1958, with a swing bridge over two 80-foot channels at Placida Harbor. Every truck, pump and crew comes across it. We plan the schedule around the bridge and the island's narrow streets, and on busy days we keep equipment compact and parked where it does not block neighbors.

A golf cart island

There are no gas stations in the village apart from a street pump at Boca Grande Marina, so many residents get around by golf cart. A Lee County ordinance designates all but two streets as golf cart paths. That changes what people need from their concrete: cart parking pads next to the house, wider walks that double as cart paths, and charging spots with a slab and a little shelter. We design those to drain well and to sit level with the driveway, so carts roll on and off without a bump.

Lee County's apron requirement

Because the village is in Lee County, driveway work in the right-of-way goes through Lee County DOT. The county's driveway worksheet says it requires a poured concrete or asphalt apron from the edge of the road to the right-of-way line, and that no work may start in the right-of-way until a permit is issued. Inspections run from stake-out and evaluation through culvert, form, finish lime rock and final, each requested at least 24 hours ahead. The county also asks that disturbed right-of-way be grassed or seeded afterward, and it does not allow landscaping or other above-ground items in the county easement without written approval.

History and storms

Boca Grande grew up around the railroad that carried phosphate from the Peace River to the island's port, completed in 1907, and the Gasparilla Inn opened in 1913. Passenger rail service ended in 1959. Hurricane Charley hit the island hard on August 13, 2004. Owners here often want new concrete that suits the house: a plain broom finish on a walk, a soft color on a pool deck, or a driveway edge that sits neatly beside old plantings.
