Concrete Contractors in Silver Springs Shores, FL

Silver Springs Shores grew faster than almost anywhere in the region, and concrete contractors here pour for a steady stream of new homes as well as older ones. The census-designated place had 6,539 residents in 2010 and 24,846 in 2020, a 280 percent increase. It lies about 10 miles southeast of Ocala and is the largest community in southeastern Marion County. We pour driveways, patios, walks and slabs, and we repair concrete that has cracked or settled.

A bedroom community with a tight housing market

Wikipedia describes Silver Springs Shores as mainly a bedroom community for Ocala. The 2020 census counted 9,893 housing units and 9,057 households, with a homeowner vacancy rate of only 2.1 percent. With that many newer homes, a lot of our work here is adding to what the builder poured: a wider driveway for a third car or a work truck, a patio off the back slider, a walk around the side of the house, or a pad for a shed.

New-construction concrete sometimes shows shrinkage cracks or a corner that settled where fill was placed. We look at whether the crack is cosmetic or structural and recommend sealing, section replacement or leaving it alone.

A big footprint

The community covers 15.15 square miles, with only 0.22 square miles of water, at about 92 feet above sea level. Lots vary from standard subdivision parcels to larger ones on the edges. On bigger lots we often pour longer driveways and pads for RVs or trailers, sized for the load and graded to drain.

Permits in Marion County

Silver Springs Shores is unincorporated, so permits come from Marion County. The county's Building Safety office handles building, development review, driveway, right-of-way and zoning permits through its Civic Access platform, where applications, inspections and payments are handled online. We check what your project needs, file it, and schedule inspections so the pour happens on time.

Florida conditions

Summer storms put a lot of water on a slab quickly, and sandy ground can wash out from under the edges. We compact the base, set the slope so water leaves the slab and the foundation, and cut control joints at the right spacing so cracking stays where we want it. In the heat, we pour early and protect the surface from drying too fast. Lake Weir High School on Oak Road serves the area, and the community is close enough to Ocala, Belleview and The Villages that we often work all four in the same week.
