Concrete Services in Westchase, FL

Getting Through the Modifications Committee

In Westchase, the Modifications Committee reviews exterior changes, including new or replaced driveways, walks and patios. Good paperwork is the difference between a quick yes and a long wait.

The 45-Day Clock

The committee has 45 days to approve or deny an application, and an incomplete one can be treated as denied when that window closes. We give you a scaled drawing, material description and finish sample so the package is complete the first time.

What the Guidelines Allow

Driveways may be poured-in-place concrete, natural stone, cobblestone, pavers or a combination. Front walks and entries follow similar material rules, while side-yard paths are expected to be porous, like gravel or stepping stones, so we steer side-yard requests toward the right material instead of a solid slab.

Thirty-Year-Old Driveways

The earliest Westchase villages are now around 30 years old, and their original concrete is showing it.

Cracks, Stains and Settled Panels

Common problems include cracks running out from corners, panels that dropped near the garage and rust stains from sprinkler water. When the slab is broken in several places, a new concrete driveway is usually the better spend than patching. Tree roots from the original street plantings also lift panels along the front edge.

A two-car driveway generally runs $4,000 to $6,500. Removing the old one adds $2 to $5 per square foot, and we keep the work inside your lot lines and away from the neighbor's landscaping.

Adding a Decorative Border

Some owners keep a plain center field and add a band of pavers or stamped concrete along the edges. The guidelines allow mixed materials for driveways, and borders in muted earth tones fit what the committee typically approves.

Concrete or Pavers?

Both are allowed, so the decision is yours. Poured concrete costs less up front, around $8 to $13 per square foot for driveway-grade work, and has no joints for weeds. Pavers cost more but can be lifted and reset if a section sinks. We will price both if you are undecided.

Patios That Fit the Setbacks

Westchase lots are not large, and the guidelines set patios back at least 5 feet from the rear lot line and 3 feet from the side lines.

Planning Around the Lot

We measure from your survey, not the fence, because fences are not always on the line. A concrete patio that respects the setbacks still leaves room for a table and grill on most lots.

Finish Choices

Broom finish runs $6 to $9 per square foot. Stamped or stained surfaces run $12 to $20 or more, and we pick tones in the beige, tan, brown and gray range the association favors.

Pool Decks

Plenty of Westchase homes have pools from the original build, and those decks are often cracked or heaved by now. A 600 square foot replacement with a cool knockdown finish typically runs $5,400 to $8,400, and the work needs the same committee approval as a patio.

Screened enclosures complicate access, so we plan the pour route and any panel removal with you before the day of the job.

Ponds, Golf Course Lots and Drainage

Westchase was built around stormwater ponds and the Westchase Golf Course, and roughly 0.76 square miles of the area is water. Many backyards drain toward a pond or the course.

Keeping Water Moving

A new slab should never block the swale between houses or trap water against the foundation. We set the grade so runoff keeps its path to the pond, and we avoid pouring right over a side-yard drain line.

Front Walks

Sunken or tilted entry walks are common on older lots. We either lift the existing panels or replace them with a new walkway in an approved material, matched to the driveway.

Westchase Concrete FAQs

What Westchase residents tend to ask.

Do I need a county permit as well?

Westchase is unincorporated Hillsborough County. Work at the street, like a widened apron, needs a county right-of-way permit in addition to association approval, and we handle both.

Can you widen my driveway?

Often, yes, within the guidelines and setbacks. We submit the layout to the Modifications Committee first and pour only after written approval.

How do you work around afternoon storms?

We pour early in the day during the rainy season and keep plastic on the truck. If storms threaten before the surface is finished, we move the pour.

Do you work all over Westchase?

Yes, from the villages along Linebaugh Avenue and Countryway Boulevard to the homes closer to Race Track Road. Our trucks reach most of the community through Sheldon Road or Linebaugh, and narrow village streets with on-street parking are something we plan for before pour day.
