Plantation's signature 1950s and 1970s ranch homes sit on generous, shaded lots along the canals, and their original concrete driveways are reaching the end of their life. If your driveway is cracked, settling, or stained beyond recognition, Fort Lauderdale Concrete is here to help.
We know Plantation. We've replaced and resurfaced hundreds of driveways, patios and pool decks across ZIP 33388 and the surrounding Fort Lauderdale area. Our team understands the local terrain, the drainage challenges that come with living near the canals, and the specific wear patterns that hit concrete hard in South Florida's heat, salt air and intense summer storms.
Concrete in Plantation (33388)
Plantation sits on sand over porous limestone, with a very high water table close to the canals. That means poorly compacted bases settle, slabs sink at the joints, and water can push up through concrete during king tides and heavy rain. Your driveway or patio doesn't just crack from age; it settles unevenly, creating trip hazards and letting water pool where it shouldn't. The tropical sun, salt spray and year-round heat accelerate spalling and surface breakdown, especially on unsealed concrete, which turns black with algae and mildew within months.
We've spent years working on Plantation's distinctive housing stock: the original 1950s-70s CBS ranches with carports and single-car garages, the wide driveways that need to handle both cars and the occasional storm surge, and the backyard pool decks that demand slip-resistant finishes and proper drainage. We know which base materials hold up, how to slope for water runoff, and when sealing is not optional. Our experience serving Plantation and the broader Fort Lauderdale area means we arrive ready to solve the problems unique to this neighborhood.

How a Job Works in Plantation
We start with a free, no-pressure on-site assessment. We'll walk your driveway, patio or pool deck, photograph the condition, check the grade and drainage, and talk through your options. If your lot sits tight against neighbors or near a canal, we'll factor in access and any HOA coordination needed. We'll give you a clear estimate and timeline on the spot.
When we're ready to work, we handle all the details. If a permit is required, we'll coordinate with the City of Plantation and manage the paperwork. We'll remove old concrete if needed, prep and compact the base correctly so it won't settle again, pour or resurface to proper grade, and finish to your specifications. On tight lots, we work methodically to protect your landscaping and your neighbor's property.
When we're done, your property is clean. We haul away debris, sweep and pressure-wash the surrounding area, and walk through the finished work with you. You'll know exactly what you're getting and when we're finished.
Concrete work in Plantation typically runs from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on what you need. A concrete repair or resurfacing job on an existing driveway starts around $3 to $4 per square foot. A full driveway replacement or a new patio runs $6 to $8 per square foot for standard concrete. Stamped or decorative finishes cost more, starting around $10 per square foot. Pool decks, which need slip-resistant texturing and careful drainage, start at $8 per square foot. Sealing to protect against algae, UV and salt air runs about $0.75 per square foot and should be done every 2 to 3 years in our climate. The final cost depends on the size of the job, site access, how much old concrete needs removal, and whether the base needs rework due to settling.
