Concrete contractor in Palm Springs, FL - slabs built from the ground up
Optimum Wellington Concrete is a concrete contractor pouring driveways, patios, pool decks, steps and slabs in Palm Springs, FL. We're based in Wellington and handle everything from a cracked front walk to a new foundation.
What we build in Palm Springs. From steps to foundations.
Concrete driveway building
For a driveway that's cracked through or sunk at the edges, we tear it out and rebuild from the base up.
Concrete patio construction
A plain or finished patio out back, sloped so rain runs away from the house instead of toward the door.
Stamped concrete services
Concrete pressed with a stone or brick pattern, if you want that look on a patio, walk or pool deck.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walkways from the driveway to the door, replaced when slabs have heaved or dropped and people keep catching a toe.
Garage floor concrete
If your garage floor is pitted, stained or cracked, we can pour a new slab built to carry the car.
Decorative concrete
Colored, exposed-aggregate or textured finishes for when you want concrete that looks like more than a gray slab.
Concrete retaining walls
Where a yard steps down or soil pushes against a fence line, a poured wall holds the ground back.
Concrete floor installation
Interior concrete floors for additions, workshops and outbuildings, poured level and finished smooth or sealed to suit the room.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck finished to grip wet feet, sloped so splash and rain run off instead of sitting.
Concrete steps construction
Front or back steps rebuilt when the old ones crumble, tilt or start pulling away from the house.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for an addition, garage or outbuilding, with the ground packed and the steel set before the pour.
Foundation installation
Foundations for new structures, laid out to the plans and the permit before any concrete truck shows up.
Concrete parking lot building
Parking areas for shops, offices and apartment lots, built thick enough for daily traffic and graded to drain.
Concrete footings
Poured footings for a wall, deck, column or addition, dug down to firm ground so the load doesn't sink.
Foundation raising
If a slab or part of a house has settled, we look at why first, then talk through raising it.
Concrete cutting
Clean saw cuts through slabs and walls for new doors, plumbing runs, joints or pulling out a damaged section.
How we work in Palm Springs. It starts with the Village.
Permits in Palm Springs come from the Village's Planning, Zoning & Building Department, and the Village wants contractors registered with it before they start work or apply for permits. Ask any contractor for their state license and their Village business tax receipt. When your job needs a permit, we pull it, handle the paperwork and start once it's approved.
Before I price anything, I walk the job and check where water runs, how much old concrete comes out and what the ground is like. Size, thickness, tear-out and finish move the price, and weather and permit review move the schedule. At the estimate I go over your options and put what's included in writing.

(561) 268-0415Why the base matters in Palm Springs. It's what you can't see.
Most concrete trouble starts underneath. If the base is raked flat instead of dug out and packed, the slab settles with the dirt and cracks, and if it slopes toward the house, rain runs at your foundation. The Florida Climate Center's records for nearby West Palm Beach put the heaviest rain in June, August and September, so that's when a bad slope shows.
That's why the base is the last place I'd cut if your budget gets tight, ahead of any fancy finish. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, and set the slope away from the house before the forms go up.
We pour in nearby cities too. Ask if yours isn't listed.
We're based in Wellington and also work in Greenacres and West Palm Beach, among others. If your city isn't listed, call (561) 268-0415 and ask.

Do I need a permit for a concrete driveway in Palm Springs, FL?
It may, so we check with the Village of Palm Springs before we start instead of guessing. The building department has an application for fence and driveway approval on its Forms & Applications page, and every building permit application there gets notarized by both the owner and the contractor. If yours needs a permit, we pull it and tell you when to sign.
How do I check a concrete contractor's license in Florida?
Look the license up with Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the state department that regulates construction. A certified license is good anywhere in Florida, while a registered one only covers cities or counties where the holder has a certificate of competency. Palm Beach County also wants a local business tax receipt from anyone selling services in the county.
Will my new concrete patio crack like the old one did?
It can still get fine cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures, the slow hardening it does after the pour. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give a crack a straight line to follow, before it picks its own spot, and we pour early so midday heat doesn't leave a weak, dusty top. Here's how we build a concrete patio.
How long until I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength as it cures. I go over the wait for your slab when I come out, since thickness, weather and the mix all change it. There's more on our concrete driveways page.
