Why concrete makes sense in Ocala

Much of Marion County sits on deep sand. Shell and gravel driveways wash out in summer storms, track into the house and need regrading. A properly built concrete driveway stays put, sheds water, handles Florida heat and is easy to keep clean with a pressure washer.

What a good driveway job includes

Site prep. Removing grass, roots and soft material, then grading and compacting the sand base so the slab doesn't settle.
Forms and slope. Water should run away from the garage and toward the street or yard, not pool against the house.
Thickness. Residential driveways are commonly about 4 inches thick; heavier vehicles, RVs or boat trailers may call for more. Ask what your contractor recommends.
Reinforcement. Many crews use fiber mesh, wire mesh or rebar. Ask what they use and why.
Control joints. Cut or tooled joints tell the concrete where to crack, so cracks stay straight and hidden.
Finish. A light broom finish is the most common for traction when wet. Exposed aggregate and stamped finishes cost more.
Curing. Keeping new concrete moist in Florida heat helps it reach full strength. Most crews say to keep cars off for several days.

Extensions and parking pads

Need room for a second car, a boat or a side parking spot? Contractors can often tie a new pour into your existing driveway with dowels or an expansion joint. Ask how the new section will meet the old one.

Cost and permits

Price depends mostly on square footage, removal of any old material, access for the concrete truck and the finish. See our Ocala driveway cost guide for rough, clearly labeled estimates, and our Marion County permit article for the work near the street.

Protect yourself

Ask any contractor for proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance, a written quote that lists thickness, square footage, finish and what is included, and who pulls any permit. Check the contractor's license status on the Florida DBPR site or with Marion County. Don't pay the full price before the work is done.

Questions people ask

Is it free to call?

Yes. You never pay us anything. You only pay the contractor for work you agree to.

How long before I can drive on it?

It depends on the mix and weather. Many contractors say foot traffic after a day or so and cars after about a week. Follow your contractor's advice.

Will my new driveway crack?

Concrete can crack. Good base prep, proper thickness and well-placed control joints help keep cracks small and along the joints.
