Concrete Contractors in Okahumpka, FL

Okahumpka is a tiny community in western Lake County, and the concrete contractors who work here are usually also working in Leesburg, just up the road. The census-designated place covers only about a quarter of a square mile and counted 240 residents in 2020. County Road 33 runs through it, reaching US 27 about 1.5 miles to the northeast, and US 27 continues 3 miles north to Leesburg. We pour driveways, patios, walks and slabs, and we repair concrete that has cracked, settled or broken.

Roads in every direction

For a small place, Okahumpka is well connected. County Road 48 runs 1 mile east to US 27 and 9 miles southwest to Center Hill. County Road 470 runs 3 miles west to an interchange with Florida's Turnpike, and CR 33 continues 12 miles south to Mascotte. Many homes sit on county roads, so the driveway apron is often the first thing we talk about.

Lake County's residential driveway permit form covers new driveways and changes to existing ones on county-maintained roads. For a concrete apron on a paved county road, it lists 6-inch reinforced concrete at 3,000 PSI, a width of 10 to 24 feet at the property line, and an apron slope no steeper than 14 percent. Where a culvert is needed, it must match existing neighborhood culverts or be at least 15 inches in diameter and 30 feet long. We build to those specs and handle the application with you.

A small place with a notable history

The Historic Campbell House in Okahumpka is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Okahumpka is also the birthplace of Virgil D. Hawkins, the civil rights attorney. The community sits about 92 feet above sea level. In 2000 it had just 113 housing units, so most of our work here is on individual homes and small properties rather than subdivisions.

Common projects

In a rural setting, homeowners usually ask for a solid driveway or apron, a patio or screen room floor, a slab for a carport or shed, or a walk that does not puddle. Many lots are on sandy ground, which drains well but can wash out under a slab edge if roof water runs against it. We compact the base, grade the slab to drain and protect the edges.

Scheduling around the season

Summer brings afternoon storms, so we plan pours for the morning and protect fresh concrete from rapid drying in the heat. In the drier months, scheduling is easier and a good time to tackle larger projects. Call (352) 706-8874 to set up a visit.
