Concrete work across Lutz, FL
AJ Wesley Chapel Concrete Company pours driveways, patios, garage floors and foundations for homes across Lutz, from Hillsborough County north into the part locals call Pasco Lutz. A lot of the calls we get here are for new patios and pool decks, or a driveway to replace one that's cracked and uneven.
What to know before a concrete job in Lutz
Hillsborough County is the local government in Lutz, and its Building Services office issues site and structural permits for the unincorporated county, then reviews and inspects the work. When your job needs a permit, the start date waits on that review. The same office licenses contractors there, and a contractor based in the county also needs a local business tax receipt, so ask whoever you hire for their papers. The county's Map Viewer shows what rules apply to your parcel.
We pull the permit and handle the county paperwork when a job needs one, so you don't stand in line for it. Price comes down to the size and thickness of the slab, whether an old one has to be broken out and hauled off, how much soft dirt comes out under it and the finish you pick. Your schedule turns on the permit review and on curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it takes weight, and I put your price in writing after I measure.
Around Lutz we see plenty of older driveways that have cracked, sunk or started holding water, along with new builds that need a slab from scratch. We dig down to firm subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, pack it hard and slope the finished slab away from the house. We do the same work in Land O' Lakes and over in Mango.

Concrete services for Lutz properties
Most of what we pour in Lutz is for homes, from driveways and patios to garage floors, with foundation and commercial work for people building new or fixing up a property.
Concrete driveway building
Old driveways here that have cracked or sunk get broken out, the base rebuilt and a new slab poured.
Concrete patio construction
Back patios behind Lutz homes get a packed base and a slope that sends rain toward the yard, not the door.
Stamped concrete services
If you want a patio or walk that looks like stone or brick, stamped concrete gets there with one pour.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks that have heaved or split get replaced so the path from the drive to the door is level again.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floors that are pitted, dusty or cracked get a new slab thick enough for the cars parked on it.
Decorative concrete
Colored and textured finishes on entries and patios, for owners who want more than plain gray at the front of the house.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard slopes toward the house or the drive, a concrete retaining wall holds the dirt back and keeps it there.
Concrete floor installation
New concrete floors for workshops, sheds and additions, with the base packed and the slab finished smooth inside.
Concrete pool decks
We usually give pool decks behind Lutz homes a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives wet feet some grip.
Concrete steps construction
Cracked front steps get torn out and rebuilt with rebar, the steel bars inside that hold the concrete together.
Slab foundation building
For new homes and additions going up around Lutz, we form and pour the slab foundation the walls sit on.
Foundation installation
Foundations for garages, additions and outbuildings, laid out and poured to the plans your builder or designer gives us.
Concrete parking lot building
For churches, shops and offices around Lutz, we pour parking lots thick enough to carry steady daily traffic.
Concrete footings
Footings under porches, columns and block walls, dug to the depth the plans call for and poured before the rest goes up.
Foundation raising
If a slab has settled and doors or floors are out of line, we look at whether raising it makes sense.
Concrete cutting
We cut openings, trenches and clean lines in existing slabs when you're adding plumbing, a door or a new section.

Permit, forms and the pour

Walk the finished job
Before we pack up, we walk the job with you and tell you when it's ready for foot traffic and when for your car.
Why Lutz homeowners call our crew
Base dug out, not raked
We dig out soft dirt and pack the base before any concrete goes in, because that's what keeps a slab from sinking.
Cracks where we choose them
We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a place to crack, so cracks land where we chose.
Both sides of the county line
We work Lutz addresses in Hillsborough and up in Pasco Lutz, so the line doesn't change who shows up to pour.
Pours timed for the morning
We pour early in the day so the top doesn't dry too fast and come out weak and dusty.
Get a written price for your Lutz concrete job
Tell us your address, the job and roughly how big it is, and we'll reply within one business day to set up a free on-site estimate. I measure it myself and give you a written price, with no obligation.

Lutz concrete questions, answered
Here are the questions Lutz homeowners ask us before a pour. If yours isn't here, call or send the form and ask about your own job.
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway in Lutz?
The county decides that for each job, so I won't tell you no before we've checked. In unincorporated Hillsborough County, Building Services issues site and structural permits, and when your job needs one, we pull it and do the paperwork.
Is my Lutz address in Hillsborough County or Pasco County?
It could be either, because Lutz ZIP codes run north past the Hillsborough County line up to State Road 54, into the part of southern Pasco County people call Pasco Lutz. Hillsborough's permit office covers only the unincorporated part of its own county, so we confirm which county your lot is in before any paperwork goes in.
How do I find out if my Lutz home is in a flood zone?
Look your address up on the county's flood maps, which point you to the FEMA flood zones and the county's own floodplain viewer. High-risk areas are the ones with a 1% or greater chance of flooding in any year, and county floodplains carry their own development rules, so we want to know before we plan a slab or foundation on your lot.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Lutz, FL?
Your price comes from measuring your driveway, since its size, any old slab to break out and the soft dirt under it move the number most. If the budget's tight, I'd trim the finish before the base, because a plain slab on a packed base holds up better than a fancy one on loose dirt.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Lutz?
Longer than you can walk on it, because concrete keeps hardening for days as it cures, and the mix and that week's weather move the date. Plan to be without the driveway from tear-out until we clear it for your car, plus any wait on the county's permit review before we start.
What causes concrete driveways in Lutz to crack and sink?
Most often it's the base, a slab poured on dirt that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, so it settles as that dirt settles. Late or skipped control joints add cracks where nobody planned them, and a slab that falls toward the house sends water under its edge.
