Concrete contractor for Pebble Creek homes
AJ Wesley Chapel Concrete Company is a concrete contractor working in Pebble Creek, just across the county line from our base in Wesley Chapel. Most calls here are for driveways and patios that have cracked, sunk or started holding water, on ground that takes long hot days and hard summer rain.
What changes a concrete job in Pebble Creek
Pebble Creek sits on the northern edge of Hillsborough County, and Hillsborough County Building Services issues the permits most construction there needs, which is how the county makes sure work meets safety codes. That puts the county's review ahead of your pour, so I don't set a pour date until any permit is approved. When your job needs one, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the county so you don't have to.
Before you sign with anyone, check two things. In Hillsborough County, construction work the State of Florida regulates needs a contractor license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation or from the county, and a new business has to get a local business tax receipt from the county Tax Collector before it opens. We're licensed and fully insured, and I'd rather you ask than wonder.
The ground here acts a lot like what we see in Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills, with sandy fill that settles if it's only raked flat, plus long hot days and summer storms that dump water fast. So much of your price sits under the slab, in the tear-out and base work, along with size, thickness and finish. The permit review and the weather set the schedule, and my written estimate gives you your number.

Concrete work we do in Pebble Creek
Most homes here have a front driveway, a back patio and a garage floor that all take the same heat and rain, so every service below starts with what's under the slab.
Concrete driveway building
Cracked, sunken driveways are a call we get often here, and we fix them by rebuilding the base before the new pour.
Concrete patio construction
When a back patio tips toward the house, summer storms push water to your door, so we pitch it away.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped patterns give a patio or front entry the look of stone or brick, over the same packed base as plain concrete.
Concrete sidewalk building
Front walks that have heaved or sunk turn into a trip hazard, and we replace the sections that moved with level ones.
Garage floor concrete
Garage floors here take hot tires and summer humidity, so we pour them flat and finish them smooth for easy sweeping.
Decorative concrete
Color and texture work suits homeowners who want more than plain gray, from a tinted pool area to a dressed-up front walk.
Concrete retaining walls
On lots with a grade change, a concrete wall holds the soil back so heavy rain doesn't wash it onto your slab.
Concrete floor installation
For additions, workshops and sheds, we pour interior floors level and smooth, ready for whatever goes on top.
Concrete pool decks
Pool decks need a grippy finish for wet bare feet and a slope that carries splash and rain off the deck.
Concrete steps construction
Entry steps that have settled away from the porch get torn out and rebuilt with even rises from top to bottom.
Slab foundation building
A new addition or detached garage starts with a slab foundation on a packed subgrade, the ground the concrete sits on.
Foundation installation
People building new or adding on call us to set forms, place the steel and pour a foundation sized to the plans.
Concrete parking lot building
Small business and church lots need thicker concrete that stands up to cars turning and parking every day.
Concrete footings
Footings carry the load under a porch, wall or addition, so we dig them to the size the plans call for.
Foundation raising
If part of your slab has dropped, I look at why the ground moved before we talk about lifting it back.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut old concrete for a new door, a plumbing repair or a clean edge where a driveway gets widened.
How a concrete job runs when you call from Pebble Creek
From your first call to the final walk-through, here's how a Pebble Creek job moves, with the county's permit review fitting in before the pour.
Call or send a request
Call (813) 471-5891 or use the form, and I come out to look at your slab, the ground and where your water runs.
Get a written price
I measure the job and write up the price, including the tear-out, base work and finish we talked through.
Permit, then the pour
Once you say go, we file any permit with the county and pour after its review. My crew forms, pours and finishes with me on site.
Walk the finished job
Before we pack up, we clean the site and walk the slab with you, and tell you when it's ready for feet and for cars.
Why Pebble Creek homeowners call our crew
Base dug out and packed
We dig out soft dirt and pack the base before forming, because a slab settles with whatever it sits on.
Pours timed around the heat
It's hot here most of the year, so we pour early and finish before the sun leaves the top weak and dusty.
Water sent away from the house
Before we set forms, I check where your yard's water runs so the slab falls away from the house.
I'm on site for your pour
I measure the job myself and stay on site while my crew pours, so the calls get made right there.

Pebble Creek concrete questions, answered
These are the questions Pebble Creek homeowners ask before a pour. If yours isn't here, call (813) 471-5891 or send a request and I'll answer it for your job.
Do I need a permit to pour a concrete driveway or patio in Pebble Creek?
Usually, because Hillsborough County requires approval and permits for most construction, and the work it lists as permit-free is cosmetic, like painting, tile, floor coverings and cabinets. The county also says non-structural work on a single-family home valued under $7,500 would be exempt, but you'd still apply through its HillsGovHub portal with papers showing the scope and value, and the exemption doesn't cover work at $7,500 or more, a home partly or fully in a flood hazard area, or structural work like a foundation. You can read the county's list of work exempt from permits, and I'll tell you at the estimate how your job looks.
Who pulls the permit for concrete work in Pebble Creek, me or the contractor?
The contractor does when you hire one, and on our jobs that means we pull it and deal with the county, as covered above. If you're doing the work yourself, the county lets you pull your own permit for a home in your name that's your primary residence, which the county's permits for homeowners page explains.
How do I check that a concrete contractor is licensed in Hillsborough County?
Ask to see their contractor license and their local business tax receipt, the two things covered above. The state's licensing department requires certified contractor applicants to pass a state certification exam first, so a certified license tells you the holder passed it. If a contractor gets vague about either one, keep looking.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Pebble Creek?
The price comes down to the driveway's size, whether the old slab has to be torn out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you choose, and I give you the number in writing after I measure. A broom finish, a light texture brushed into the wet surface so tires and shoes grip, costs less than stamped or colored concrete. If the budget is tight, I'd keep the money in the base and go simpler on the finish, because the base is hidden on day one and decides whether the driveway sinks.
What causes a new concrete driveway or patio to crack in Florida?
Most cracks in a new slab come from a base that was only raked flat, a pour in the midday heat, or control joints cut late or skipped. Concrete shrinks as it hardens, so control joints, shallow grooves we cut across the slab, give that crack a straight line to follow instead of a random path. Curing, the slow hardening that goes on for days after the pour, is why we ask you to stay off it until it's ready.
How do I find out if my Pebble Creek home is in a flood zone before pouring concrete?
Check Hillsborough County's floodplain maps, which mark the areas at higher risk of flooding each year. Those high-risk areas come with their own development rules, and a home partly or fully in a flood hazard area falls outside the small-job permit exemption above. Federal flood insurance goes only by FEMA's flood rate map, not the county's maps, so ask your insurer about that separately.
