Concrete contractor in Sarasota Springs, FL - driveways and patios that drain
Liberty North Port Concrete is a concrete contractor working in Sarasota Springs, FL. We build driveways, patios, pool decks, walks and slabs on a dug-out, packed base, sloped so water runs away from your house.
We're a concrete company from North Port, and our own crew forms, pours and finishes every job I estimate. In Sarasota Springs we build driveways, patios, pool decks and walks for homeowners, and slabs, walls and lots for property owners. What I care about most is that the concrete is still doing its job long after we've gone, and that starts with the ground under it.
- Base dug out and packed first
- Drainage checked before we pour
- Work walked with you at the end
What we look at on Sarasota Springs lots
Where an older driveway has sunk at one corner or a patio holds a puddle by the wall, the subgrade, the dirt the slab sits on, was usually raked level instead of dug out and packed. That's the first thing I look for, because a new slab on the same soft dirt settles the same way.
Water is the other thing I check on every lot in Sarasota Springs. Sarasota County reports that Hurricane Helene brought 4 to 7 feet of storm surge to its Gulf coast in 2024, with Hurricane Milton about two weeks behind it, so where a yard took on water we look at where it runs now and slope the new concrete away from the house.

Decorative concrete
Colored, scored or exposed finishes for a front entry or patio you want to look like more than plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls

Interior slabs for a workshop, shed or addition, set level and finished smooth for the floor going on top.
Concrete pool decks
A deck around your pool with a textured finish for wet feet, sloped so splash water drains away.

Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk, we look at why first, then raise it and address the cause.

Saw cuts through an old slab for a doorway, a plumbing run or a section that has to come out.
Serving Sarasota Springs from North Port
We're based in North Port and work in the cities around it, up through Sarasota, and Sarasota Springs is one of them. Our own crew makes the drive, so the people who pour your concrete are the same people I work with on every job.
To set up a visit, call (941) 240-9048 or use the form below, and tell us your address and what you have in mind. We answer seven days a week, 8 AM to 9 PM, and a photo of the old slab helps me know what to look for before I get there.
What to settle before a Sarasota Springs pour
The price moves with the size of the slab, how much old concrete and soft dirt has to come out, how thick it needs to be for what it carries, and the finish. A broom finish, a light brushed texture for grip, costs less than stamped or colored work, and the written estimate gives you the figure for your own job.
The schedule turns on the weather, any permit your job needs, and curing, the days new concrete needs to harden before it carries a car. If the budget is tight, I'd rather you keep the base work and choose a plainer finish, because a nice top on a poor base still cracks and sinks.
- Where water runs off your lot now, and where it should go.
- What the slab has to carry, from foot traffic to a loaded truck.
- The finish you want, whether broom, stamped or colored.
- Whether a permit applies at your address, which we check before starting.

Questions we hear in Sarasota Springs
Who issues building permits for home projects in Sarasota Springs, FL?
For single-family homes under county permitting, the county's PDS One Stop issues building permits. Before we start, we check with the office that covers your address, and when a permit is needed we pull it in our name and set up the inspections. The county's main line is 941-861-5000.
Is small work on a single-family home in Sarasota County exempt from a permit?
Some work can be, if it qualifies. Under a new state law, county guidance says certain types of work under $7,500 on a single-family home may be exempt, but only with specific requirements and steps, so we don't assume it. When your job may qualify, we help you put the request together.
What does my flood zone letter mean in Sarasota County?
A zone starting with A or V puts your lot in the Special Flood Hazard Area, high-risk land with a 1 percent chance of flooding in any given year, and a zone starting with X is outside it. Either way, I check where the water runs before we set the slope of a new slab.
Will my new concrete driveway crack like the old one did?
It may get small cracks, because concrete shrinks as it cures, and I'd rather tell you that now. We dig out and pack the base, add rebar, steel bars that hold the slab together, where it needs it, and cut control joints, grooves that give a crack a straight place to form.
Does Sarasota County still collect a business tax from contractors?
No, the county repealed its business tax and no longer collects it. Licensing is a separate matter, and in Florida anyone seeking licensure as a certified contractor must first pass a state certification exam. We're fully licensed and insured.
