About Plant City Concrete Co

What we pour, and why we stay close to Plant City

Plant City Concrete Co pours flatwork and slabs for homes: driveways, patios, sidewalks and walkways, stamped and decorative surfaces, and slabs and foundations for sheds, shops, garages and additions. Pool decks get quoted on the same visit when you ask.

The service area is Plant City and its own communities, from the brick streets north of downtown and the gated neighborhoods of Walden Lake out to Knights, Coronet, Bealsville and Turkey Creek. Keeping the map that small is a choice. A town's paperwork has habits, and Plant City's are particular: a driveway apron with its own spec, a form inspection booked a day ahead, historic districts that review driveways before a permit, and mailing addresses that sit on county land. Keeping to one town means we raise those at the estimate, not on pour day.

Three promises we put in writing

• Free on-site estimate. We come to the lot, measure, and look at drainage, truck access and anything in the way, such as a ditch, a meter box or an oak root. It costs you nothing.
• Written quote within 48 hours of the visit. The number arrives on paper, with the thickness and finish it covers, so you can line it up against other bids without anyone standing over you.
• Clean jobsite. When we leave, the forms, stakes and leftover material go with us.

That's the full list.

Price ranges we post before you call

Our typical ranges are on the site for anyone to read. Driveways run $8 to $14 per sq ft, and a common 2-car driveway runs $5,000 to $10,000. Tear-out of an old slab adds $2 to $4 per sq ft. Patios run $8 to $14 per sq ft, with a typical backyard job at $2,500 to $6,500. Sidewalks and walkways are $8 to $14 per sq ft, and short runs hit a job minimum. Stamped and decorative work runs $14 to $24 per sq ft because of the pattern, color and sealer, and slabs and foundations run $7 to $12 per sq ft, with thicker or monolithic work priced higher.

Those are ranges, not quotes. Thickness, finish, how much old concrete comes out and how far the truck has to reach move the final number, which is why every price is a free written estimate after we see the site. Comparing bids? Ask each contractor what thickness and finish the number covers, and whether the apron is in it. Our driveway cost guide shows how to read a quote line by line.

The Plant City rules we plan around

Three local rules matter on a Plant City job. Inside city limits, the part of a driveway in the right-of-way is its own slab: 3000 psi fiber concrete, at least 6 inches thick, no steel, with a form inspection before the pour. In the three historic districts, a driveway change needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit. And a Plant City address can sit on county land, where Hillsborough County reviews the work instead of the City. Our Plant City permit guide walks through each one, and the City of Plant City FAQ has the official wording.

The ground is the other constant. FDOT's soil study for the SR 60 corridor through the area found sand from a few inches to more than 50 feet thick and seasonal groundwater close to the surface, so compaction and grading for runoff come up on every estimate, from a patio to a barn pad. The sandy soil guide explains why.

From the first call to a slab you can use

1. You call (813) 722-1744 or send the contact form with your address and the job.
2. We check that the address is in our area and whether the City, the county, an HOA board or a historic certificate is involved.
3. We visit, measure and talk through thickness, finish and joints on the lot.
4. The written quote follows. If you go ahead, we line up the permit steps and the pour date around the weather.
5. On pour day we set up around your yard and leave it clean. Curing starts as soon as finishing is done and, per the ready-mix industry's guidance, typically runs 3 to 7 days. Plan on keeping cars off a new driveway for at least a week, and we'll tell you when it's ready for your car.
