Concrete Contractors in Evinston, FL

Evinston is a small unincorporated community on the west shore of Orange Lake, and concrete contractors in Evinston work mostly on country homes, farms and lake lots. The land was part of the Arredondo Grant of 1817. A post office opened here in 1882, and in 1884 the Florida Southern Railroad station at this spot was named Evinston. Orange growing was the main business until the freeze of 1895 ended it. U.S. 441 connects the area to Gainesville, and County Road 225 runs through it. We pour driveways, patios, walks and slabs, and repair concrete that has broken down.

Two counties, two sets of rules

Evinston straddles the Alachua and Marion county line. The Alachua County portion is part of the Gainesville metro area and the Marion County portion is part of the Ocala metro. That matters for permits: Alachua County handles work on its side, including Public Works right-of-way connection permits for driveways onto county roads, and Marion County handles its side. We confirm which county your parcel is in before we plan anything.

Historic store, quiet roads

The Evinston Community Store and Post Office is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a reminder of how long people have lived along this shore. Homes in the area range from older farmhouses to newer homes on acreage. Older houses often need new front steps, a replacement walk or a driveway to replace sand. Newer homes tend to ask for patios, wider drives and outbuilding slabs. On historic properties we keep finishes plain and in proportion to the house.

Lake lots and drainage

Lots near Orange Lake can be low and hold water after summer storms. We set slabs above the surrounding grade, slope them away from the house and keep them out of spots where water sits. Boat and trailer pads get extra thickness on a compacted base. Large slabs also shed more water, so we look at where that runoff will end up and avoid sending it toward the house, a neighbor or straight down a slope.

Farm work

Much of the land around Evinston is pasture and farmland. We pour barn aisles, wash racks, feed room floors, equipment pads and slabs for pole barns and metal buildings. Each is sized to its load, with a finish and slope chosen for the job, such as a textured surface where animals walk or a smooth trowel finish in a shop.
