Concrete Contractor in Lincoln Park, Plant City

Four old plats between MLK Boulevard and Alabama Street

Lincoln Park is really four county plats stitched into one: Lincoln Park South (147 lots, recorded June 1907), Lincoln Park East (89 lots, 1909), Lincoln Park (104 lots, 1926) and Lincoln Park Heights (27 lots, 1926). Together that's 367 platted lots on about 91 acres, every one inside Plant City limits. East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, East Alabama Street and South Maryland Avenue frame its edges. East Laura, Renfroe, Warren, Ohio and Church streets cross the middle.

Inside the neighborhood you'll find Lincoln International Baccalaureate Elementary Magnet School. Marshall Middle School sits just outside it, and the CSX line runs close by. The Improvement League of Plant City names Lincoln and Madison Park as its focus neighborhoods, and it hosts the Taste of Laura Street.

Ona fine sand and a water table about a foot down

On the county's soil layer, about 86% of the Lincoln Park plats map as Ona fine sand, and most of the rest maps as other fine sands. Ona is rated poorly drained. Its water table can rise to about 31 cm (roughly a foot) below the surface, and the survey calls it "very limited" for dwellings.

So what does that change on a pour? We strip grass and roots, compact the sand in lifts, and set the finished surface high enough that rain runs toward the street instead of soaking in under the slab. Florida's residential code caps clean sand fill under a slab at 24 inches unless the building official approves more. That means raising a low lot gets planned, not guessed. The base work is laid out in our sandy-ground guide.

Rain coming down counts too. The National Weather Service puts the local rainy season at May 25 to October 10, so we keep the pour window short and start curing right after finishing. About 7% of the platted area is FEMA Zone AE, which means flood status comes down to your lot.

Concrete Pricing

Here are our typical ranges for Lincoln Park jobs. You get a free written estimate on each one once we've seen the site.

These are ranges, not a quote. Taking out an old slab adds $2 to $4 per sq ft, and we price fill to lift a low lot from the site visit. You get a free written estimate after we see the site.

Building on one of the 69 vacant Lincoln Park lots

The 2026 tax roll shows 69 vacant residential parcels inside these plats, and 27 homes here date from 2020 or later. New house slabs are a real part of the work in Lincoln Park. A house slab or foundation on Ona sand follows a set order. The Florida Building Code sets the slab floor minimum at 3 1/2 inches, while the plans for your house set the actual thickness and steel. A full house slab is priced from those plans, above our pad range.

Termite protection is next. Under the residential code, when the soil is treated, the treatment goes down after all digging and compaction, and at least a 6-mil vapor retarder covers the treated soil. Rain before the sheeting goes down means the soil has to be treated again. That's how a June afternoon can push a slab back a day.

Plant City also wants a survey on file with Planning before the slab inspection. It shows the finished floor height of the lowest slab, the crown of the nearest road and every setback. With a water table this shallow, pin down that floor height early.

What to Expect, Start to Finish

1. Call or send photos

   Tell us the street and the job. A photo of the old slab and the curb helps a lot.

2. Free site visit

   We measure, see where water sits, and look over the apron and truck access.

3. Written quote within 48 hours

   You'll see separate lines for tear-out, base, apron and finish.

4. Permit, inspection, pour

   The city permit comes first and the apron forms get inspected. Then we pour, cure and leave the site clean.

Replacing a driveway at a 1970s house on a 6,800 sq ft lot

On the roll, the median Lincoln Park home was built around 1975, on about 6,830 sq ft of land with roughly 1,330 sq ft of living space. Is yours cracked, settled or too short for two cars? A concrete driveway replacement here runs $8 to $14 per sq ft at 4 to 5 inches with a broom finish. Tearing out the old slab adds $2 to $4 per sq ft.

The piece at the street follows the City's own rule. According to the City of Plant City FAQ, the apron inside the right-of-way must be 3000 psi concrete with fiber, at least 6 inches thick, with no rebar or mesh and with pressure-treated wood joints in place of saw cuts. The forms get inspected before the pour, with 24 hours' notice. Your driveway has to slope toward the street, never back toward the house, and no water line, meter box or cleanout can sit under it. Once it's in, the apron is yours to maintain.

Jobs over $2,500 need a recorded Notice of Commencement, and once the contract tops $5,000 the building department wants a copy. Each step is in our Plant City driveway permit walkthrough, and the driveway cost breakdown shows what moves the total.

Church walks, school-day pours and the blocks next door

On the 2026 roll, thirty-five parcels inside the Lincoln Park plats are classed as churches, and Pleasant Grove Assembly of God sits inside the plats as well. In the City's eyes, a new entry walk for a congregation is a walkway, so it needs a permit. Florida's HB 803 exemption for work under $7,500 covers single-family residential property only. A church parcel can't use it.

There's an elementary school inside the neighborhood and a middle school on its edge. When we set the truck window, we ask about drop-off and pickup times on your street. We quote front walkways and side paths, back patios and stamped borders on the same visit, and a pool deck can be priced right alongside a patio.

We also pour in Madison Park, Washington Park, Pinecrest, Walden Woods and Whispering Woods. One price list covers Lincoln Park, Walden Lake and the county lanes out toward Knights and Turkey Creek. For the rest, see our service area.
