Concrete contractor in Boynton Beach, FL - slabs that shed the summer rain
Optimum Wellington Concrete is a concrete contractor based in Wellington, FL. We build driveways, patios, pool decks, steps and slabs for homes and properties in Boynton Beach, and I lead our crew on site for every pour.
Concrete work we do in Boynton Beach. Small jobs and big ones.
Concrete driveway building
When a driveway has cracked into pieces or sunk near the street, we dig it out, pack a firm base and pour new.
Concrete patio construction
A new patio or a bigger one, sloped away from the house so rain runs off instead of pooling by the door.
Stamped concrete services
Pressed with a pattern while the concrete is still soft, for a patio or walk that looks like stone or brick.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walks to the front door or around the side yard. If a slab has lifted into a trip edge, we replace it.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor that's cracked, stained or uneven can be replaced with a slab thick enough for the car and tools.
Decorative concrete
Color, stain and exposed stone finishes, if plain gray doesn't suit the house. I walk you through the choices on site.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard changes height, a concrete wall holds the soil back and keeps it from washing onto a slab or walk.
Concrete floor installation
Interior slabs for additions, workshops and rooms built from scratch, finished smooth so flooring can go right on top.
Concrete pool decks
Around a pool, we usually give the deck a broom finish, a light brushed texture, so wet feet have something to grip.
Concrete steps construction
If front or back steps have cracked, crumbled at the edges or pulled away from the house, we rebuild them.
Slab foundation building
The slab under a new house, addition or garage, with rebar, steel bars inside, to hold it together.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new buildings and additions, laid out and poured to the plans before anything goes on top.
Concrete parking lot building
For a business, church or rental property that needs a lot people can park on without potholes or puddles.
Concrete footings
The concrete under a wall, column, pergola or addition. A footing that's too small is often why a wall cracks later.
Foundation raising
When part of a slab or foundation has sunk, we raise it back toward level and look at what caused the drop.
Concrete cutting
Sawing openings for doors, pipes or drains, or cutting control joints, the grooves that tell a slab where to crack.
How we run a job in Boynton Beach. Permits come first.
In Boynton Beach, the city's Building Department issues permits and handles plan review and inspections, and driveways are on its list, so its review sets the schedule as much as the weather. Before you hire anyone, ask for their state contractor license and their city business tax receipt, which every business working inside city limits needs before it starts.
We're licensed and fully insured, and when a job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork. The price turns on the size of the slab, how much old concrete comes out, what the ground needs and the finish you pick, and I put what's included in writing.

(561) 268-0415Why the base matters in Boynton Beach. Rain finds every shortcut.
When a slab goes in on dirt that was only raked level, the ground settles under it and the slab cracks and sinks with it. Water speeds that up, and the rain records for nearby West Palm Beach put June, August and September as the wettest months, so a slab that tips toward the house gets tested every summer.
That's why the base gets our time first. We dig to firm ground, pack the subgrade, the soil the slab sits on, and slope it away from the house. If the budget shrinks, I'd trim the finish before the base, because a plain surface lasts and a bad base doesn't.

Concrete questions, answered plainly. Start here before you call.
The answers below cover permits, flood zones, cracks and curing for concrete in Boynton Beach. If your question isn't here, call and I'll walk you through it.
Does a concrete job under $7,500 need a permit in Boynton Beach?
A driveway still does. The city's exemption page says some work on a single family home under $7,500 can skip a permit, on a written request and only as a whole project, but driveways and any work in a flood hazard area still need one whatever they cost. For a patio or walk, I check with the city first.
How do I find out if my Boynton Beach home is in a flood zone?
Call the city's Development Department at 561-742-6350, since it checks the floodplain information on file for your address. Palm Beach County says updated flood maps moved more residents in the eastern part of the county into high-risk zones, and inside a flood hazard area, even filling and grading need a city permit.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It may get a fine hairline crack, because concrete shrinks as it dries, but it shouldn't break up like the old one. Old driveways usually fail from a base that was raked instead of packed, joints cut late or skipped, or a midday pour that left a weak, dusty top, and we plan our driveway work around all three.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway in Boynton Beach?
You can walk on it well before you can drive on it, and I give you both dates on pour day, because the wait depends on the mix and that week's weather. That wait is curing, the time concrete needs to gain strength, and driving on it too soon is an easy way to crack a new slab.
Is your slab sinking or holding water? Call and I'll come look.
We answer our own phone at (561) 268-0415, or use the form. Tell us what's cracked, sunk or pooling, and we'll set a time to come look.
