Concrete Contractors in Hialeah Gardens, FL

Hialeah Gardens is a city of mostly single-story homes, and concrete contractors working here focus on the ground-level spaces those homes rely on. The city began at Walter C. Ohlerts Tourist Camp and was incorporated on December 1, 1948. It stayed largely rural, with horse raising as a main industry until 1968, when the city adopted a land use and zoning master plan. Growth came quickly after that, from 492 residents in 1970 to 2,700 in 1980, 7,713 in 1990, 19,297 in 2000 and 23,068 in 2020.

Most homes are from the last 50 years

That population curve tells us most of the housing, and the concrete around it, went in from the 1970s onward. Single-story homes put the patio, the driveway and the walks at the center of daily life. The usual jobs follow from that: 1. Replacing 1980s and 1990s driveways that have cracked and settled. 2. Adding parking for households that have outgrown the original slab. 3. Pouring or extending back patios, often under an aluminum roof or screen. 4. Resurfacing pool decks that have become rough or hot. 5. Fixing settled walks and sunken aprons.

Tight-knit housing, few vacancies

The 2020 census counted 7,395 housing units with only 1.9% vacant, and a homeowner vacancy rate of 0.3%. Of 7,258 households, 37.9% had children under 18. Homes here are occupied and used every day, which means the job has to fit around daily life. We schedule so a household loses the use of its driveway for as little time as possible, and we let you know exactly when cars can go back on it.

Water on a low, wet edge

Hialeah Gardens sits at about 7 feet of elevation, and about 12% of its total area is water. It is bordered by Hialeah to the north and east and by Medley to the southwest, with Okeechobee Road running along the Medley line. With that much water close by, the ground under a slab can be damp much of the year. We build on a compacted rock base, slope every surface to drain, and keep slabs below door thresholds so heavy rain stays outside.

Patios under roofs

Many patio slabs end up carrying an aluminum roof, pergola or screen enclosure. If a structure is going on top, the slab has to be ready for it: thickened edges or footings where posts land, and anchors placed where the installer needs them. We coordinate with the enclosure installer or your plans so the slab is not the weak link.
