Brick Pavers
Our brick pavers are real clay brick, set in a mortar bed on a concrete slab we pour first. We use them for patios, walkways, pool decks and driveways across Greater Orlando.

We pour broom-finish concrete driveways, patios, walkways and sidewalks across Greater Orlando. Maybe you want a patio off the lanai, or a walk from the driveway to the pool. A concrete driveway or patio from us gets a broom texture that grips when it rains.
We also pour the concrete under our own masonry. That includes the slab for a full masonry outdoor kitchen and the base for mud-set brick pavers. Mud-set brick is clay brick set in a mortar bed on a concrete slab. The masonry and the concrete under it come from one company.

After the concrete is floated flat, a push broom is drawn across the surface. The fine ridges it leaves give shoes and bare feet some grip. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association calls for this texture on outdoor flatwork for a non-slip surface. A steel-troweled face stays smooth and turns slippery when wet.
More than half of Orlando's 51 inches of yearly rain falls from June through September, per NOAA. Around a pool, the concrete gets wet every time someone climbs out. Paving within 10 feet of a house must slope at least 2 percent away, per the Florida Building Code.
Much of Orlando sits on fine sand, per federal soil surveys. The sand under a slab is compacted evenly and sloped to drain before the pour. On hot, dry days, the association's guidance calls for dampening the sand and forms first.
Joint spacing follows the slab's thickness. The same guidance caps it at 24 to 36 times the thickness, or about 10 feet on a 4-inch slab. Wire mesh holds cracks tight but does not stop them. Fibers in the mix help against fine surface cracks that form before the concrete sets.
Orlando's normal July high is 92 degrees. Heat speeds setting and dries the surface fast, so the guidance says to avoid the hottest part of the day. Curing should start as soon as finishing ends and typically runs 3 to 7 days. Concrete left to dry out can lose as much as half its potential strength.
In Orlando, a new driveway takes an engineering permit from the city. The city's standard detail calls for 3,000 psi concrete on the apron, the stretch between the street and the sidewalk. Where the driveway crosses the public sidewalk, that section is 6 inches thick. Historic districts add a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Outside city limits, Orange County says pouring concrete needs a permit. St. Cloud lists a residential concrete pad as permit work. Anything in its right-of-way also needs Public Works and Engineering approval. Rules change by address, so check with the building department and your HOA before work starts.

(407) 702-4316From the first call to the finished work, here is how it goes.
Call (407) 702-4316 and tell us what you want built. We set a time to look at the space.
We look at the space with you and talk through the layout. For a kitchen, we note the grill and appliances you want, so the openings fit them.
Then we give you a quote for the work we talked through. It covers the masonry and any concrete under it.
On a kitchen or fireplace, the slab or footing comes first, then the concrete block core. The brick or stone goes on next, and the other trades come in their turn.
Fireplaces get their chimney cap, and kitchen bases are left ready for the countertop. Then we go over the finished work with you.
