About Lakeland Concrete Company
Your trusted local concrete contractors in Polk County
Lakeland's Trusted Concrete Experts
Lakeland Concrete Company is a locally owned and operated concrete contracting business serving homeowners and businesses throughout Polk County. We specialize in residential and light commercial concrete work, including driveways, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, and decorative stamped concrete.
Since 2009, we've poured concrete across every corner of Polk County—from the historic neighborhoods of South Lake Morton and Dixieland in Lakeland to the growing communities along the US-27 corridor in Haines City. Our team brings over 15 years of hands-on experience to every project, and we've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
Our Story
Lakeland Concrete Company started with a simple idea: deliver quality concrete work at fair prices, and treat every customer's home like it was our own. What began as a small crew working on residential driveways has grown into a full-service concrete contracting company serving all of Polk County.
We're Polk County natives who grew up here, raised families here, and plan to stay here. That's why we take our reputation seriously. When you see our trucks in your neighbor's driveway, you're seeing a company that depends on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers. We don't cut corners because we can't afford to—our next job often comes from someone who saw our last one.
Over the years, we've worked on everything from small walkway repairs to complete driveway replacements for homes in Lakeland's historic districts. We've poured pool decks for families in Winter Haven, patios for retirees in Solivita, and commercial slabs for businesses across the county. Each project has taught us something, and that accumulated knowledge shows in the quality of our work.
Our Team
Our crews average over 10 years of experience in concrete work. Many of our team members have been with us since the early days, and that continuity shows in our consistent quality. When you work with Lakeland Concrete Company, you're getting seasoned professionals who take pride in their craft—not day laborers learning on the job.
Every crew member understands proper concrete techniques: correct water-to-cement ratios, appropriate slump for different applications, proper finishing timing, and the curing practices essential for Florida's climate. We also cross-train our teams so everyone understands the full scope of each project, from initial excavation to final sealing.
Our project managers have deep experience with Polk County building departments and understand local code requirements. When permits are needed, we handle the paperwork and inspections so you don't have to.

Why Choose a Local Contractor?
When you hire Lakeland Concrete Company, you're working with your neighbors. We live and work in this community—our kids go to Polk County schools, we shop at Publix on South Florida Avenue, and we see our customers at Friday night football games. That personal connection means:
- We understand local building codes and permit requirements for Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, and unincorporated Polk County
- We know Central Florida's sandy, sometimes clay-heavy soil and how to prepare proper bases for long-lasting concrete
- Our reputation is everything—we can't hide from a bad job when we run into customers at Lake Mirror
- We're here for follow-up service, warranty work, and questions years after your project is complete
- We use local suppliers who deliver fresh concrete from plants in Lakeland and Winter Haven, not trucks that have been driving for hours
We've also built relationships with other trusted local contractors. Need a landscaper to finish around your new patio? An electrician to add outdoor outlets? A painter for your garage floor? We can recommend people we've worked alongside and trust with our own homes.
Built for Central Florida
Central Florida presents unique challenges for concrete work. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, afternoon thunderstorms can arrive with little warning, and our sandy soils behave differently than the clay-heavy ground up north. We've adapted our practices to these conditions:
- We schedule pours for early morning during summer months when temperatures are cooler and humidity helps curing
- We monitor weather radar constantly and have procedures to protect fresh concrete from sudden rain
- We use concrete mixes optimized for Florida's climate—proper PSI ratings without unnecessary additives
- We compact bases thoroughly and add gravel where needed to account for our sandy, shifting soils
- We cut control joints at appropriate intervals to manage the expansion and contraction that Florida's temperature swings cause
This local knowledge is something you can't get from a contractor who just moved to Florida or a national franchise that uses the same approach everywhere. We've learned what works in Polk County through years of experience.
Licensed & Insured
We maintain all required Florida contractor licenses and carry comprehensive insurance to protect you and your property. This isn't just a checkbox for us—it's part of running a legitimate business that you can trust with your home.
Our insurance includes general liability coverage that protects your property during construction, plus workers' compensation that covers our crew members. This means if something goes wrong—a window gets cracked by flying debris, or a worker is injured—you're not liable. Many homeowners don't realize that hiring an uninsured contractor can leave them personally responsible for accidents on their property.
We're happy to provide certificates of insurance upon request, and we encourage you to ask any contractor you're considering for the same. It's one of the easiest ways to separate professional contractors from fly-by-night operators.
