Concrete Contractors in North Palm Beach, FL

North Palm Beach is a waterfront village, and concrete contractors here plan around low ground, salt air and tight canal lots. The village had 13,162 residents and 8,023 housing units in 2020, and sits at about 7 feet above sea level. We replace driveways, pour pool decks and patios, rebuild walks and entries, and repair cracked or settled slabs.

A MacArthur village from the 1950s

Wikipedia says John D. MacArthur bought 2,600 acres in 1954; the land had earlier belonged to Harry Seymour Kelsey and then Sir Harry Oakes. The village incorporated on August 13, 1956. Its country club, first opened in 1963, is owned by the village, open to the public and now plays as a Jack Nicklaus Signature course; the original clubhouse, once Oakes's home on US 1, was demolished in 2018 and replaced in 2019.

Many homes date from the late 1950s through the 1970s, which makes the original driveways and patios 50 to 65 years old. Those slabs are often thin, cracked and patched, and many have settled where they meet garage floors or seawall caps.

Low elevation, high water table

The village sits on an island surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, reached by three bridges, including the Lighthouse Drive bridge and the Parker drawbridge. On waterfront lots, the water table can be close to the surface, and slabs near seawalls face settlement as fill behind the wall shifts. We probe and compact the base carefully, keep patios and pool decks pitched away from the house and toward lawn or drains, and leave an isolation joint at the seawall cap so the two can move separately.

Salt air and finishes

Near salt water, steel close to the surface corrodes and can crack concrete from inside. We maintain proper cover over any reinforcement, use dense, well-cured concrete and choose broom or textured finishes for pool decks and dockside patios so they stay safe when wet. A quality sealer can help resist staining from salt spray and mildew, and we will explain the maintenance it needs.

An older population

The median age in North Palm Beach was 55.5 at the 2020 census. For many owners, the most useful concrete work is a safer path: a walk without trip edges, an entry with fewer steps, a garage floor without a lip, and a pool deck with good traction.
