Concrete Contractors in South Venice, FL

South Venice is a large, mostly residential community, and the people who call us about concrete contractors in South Venice usually own a house that is close to 40 or 50 years old. Census figures compiled by Point2Homes show that 92 percent of the 8,000-plus homes here are detached single-family houses. About 30 percent were built in the 1970s and 23 percent in the 1980s, for a 1984 median year built. The community grew from 4,680 people in 1970 to 15,619 in 2020. We replace and repair the original driveways, patios, walks and pool decks on those homes, and pour new ones.

What 1970s and 1980s concrete looks like now

The original slabs here were usually poured on a lightly compacted sand base, often without much attention to joints. Four or five decades later, we tend to find the same things: random cracks running across driveways where there were too few control joints, low spots by the garage where water pools after every storm, narrow walks that were never wide enough for two people, and back patios too small for how people use them now. When we replace them, we cut joints at proper spacing, compact the base and set a slope that carries water to the yard or street.

Sarasota County right-of-way

South Venice is an unincorporated census-designated place in Sarasota County, so it has no city permit office. Driveway work that reaches the road goes through Sarasota County. We confirm what the county requires for your driveway apron and any swale or culvert before we schedule the pour, and we keep the paperwork with the job so it is ready for any inspection.

Between three larger towns

South Venice sits west of North Port, south of Venice and north of Englewood, at about 13 feet of elevation. About 6 percent of its 6.3 square miles is water. Waterfront lots slope toward the water, and on those we keep a close eye on where patio and pool deck runoff ends up. Inland lots are flatter, and the challenge there is getting enough fall to move water off a slab at all.

Pool decks and lanais

Many South Venice homes have pools that have been resurfaced once or twice, sitting inside decks that are still original. A cracked deck with loose edges at the coping is one of the most common calls we get here. Sometimes a resurface or partial replacement is enough. If the base has settled or the deck slopes toward the house, we recommend a full tear-out and new deck. Either way, we protect the pool and equipment during the work.
