Request an estimateWeston: planned neighborhoods, matching driveways
Weston sits on the western edge of Broward, and most of it was built as planned neighborhoods, so the houses on a street usually share a look, a setback and often a driveway style. On our calls here we see a lot of concrete and paver driveways, back patios that run out to a pool, and side yards with a narrow walk or a short wall. Many neighborhoods have their own association, so if yours does, check its rules on driveway color and finish before we settle on one. The work looks a lot like what we do next door in Sunrise.
Because a new slab sits right beside your neighbor's and the street, it has to come out level with what's there and send water away from the house. Most of the trouble I find under an old Weston driveway is in the subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, so I look at what's under it before I price anything new.
Working in Weston: permits, licenses and what moves the price
Building permits in Weston come from the city's Building Code and Permitting Services Department, which reviews plans and inspects the work as it goes. That sets the schedule, because nothing gets dug or poured until the plans are approved and the permit is issued. Before you hire anyone, ask for two things you can check, an active Florida contractor license and the city's Local Business Tax Receipt, which every business working in Weston has to hold and renew each year. When your job needs a permit, we take care of the application and the paperwork the city asks for, and if it's unclear whether it does, we check with the building office before anything starts.
Price and schedule here turn on the same few things: how big and thick the slab is, how much old concrete comes out, how much base work it needs, the rebar, which is the steel inside that holds the slab together if it cracks, and the finish you pick. After the pour comes curing, the wait while the concrete hardens, and you stay off it for days and longer before you drive on it, so plan around that. You'll get your own figure when I walk the job with you. We're based in Pembroke Pines and work across the cities around it in Broward and Miami-Dade, so the crew that pours in Weston also works in Davie and down in Country Club.
Services in Weston, FL
Concrete driveway building
A new driveway here has to sit level with the street and the walk beside it. We dig out the old base, pack it and slope the slab away from your garage.
Concrete pool decks
Many Weston back yards run straight from the house to a pool, so the deck takes wet feet all day. We slope it away from the water and give it a finish that grips.
Concrete patio construction
Older patios behind Weston houses are often too small for how families use the yard now. We extend or replace the slab and cut control joints, grooves that decide where a crack goes.
Stamped concrete services
When your association wants an entry or driveway that fits the street, stamped concrete gives pattern and color without pavers. We settle the pattern and color with you before the pour.
Concrete retaining walls
Yards here that step down toward a lake or hold a raised bed often need a short wall. Our concrete retaining walls sit on a footing with drainage behind, so soil doesn't push them out.
Concrete sidewalk building
Side-yard walks to the back gate here often sink or tip over the years. We dig them out, pack the base and pour a broom finish, a brushed texture that keeps feet from slipping.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a new concrete driveway in Weston?
Usually yes, because the city lists concrete driveways and new construction as work that needs a building permit. Paver and asphalt driveways go through a separate engineering permit, so the material you choose changes which permit applies. A smaller job may fall under the state's under-$7,500 exemption, covered in the next answer.
Does a concrete job under $7,500 need a permit in Weston?
It may not, because since July 1, 2026, state law requires Weston to exempt single-family homeowners and their contractors from permits for work valued under $7,500. Structural work, such as footings or a foundation, still needs a permit whatever it costs, and the exemption covers only a complete, single project, so splitting a bigger job into pieces doesn't qualify. The owner or contractor sends the city a written exemption request with the contract or other proof of the work and its value, and we check with the city whether your job qualifies.
How do I check a concrete contractor's license in Weston?
Ask for the contractor's state license and look it up on the Florida licensing portal. A certified license lets a contractor work anywhere in Florida, while a registered one only covers the cities or counties where they hold a local certificate of competency. Then ask to see their Weston Local Business Tax Receipt, since first-time applicants in a state-licensed trade have to show an active state license to get one.
How are inspections scheduled for a concrete permit in Weston?
The city inspects the work during construction, and inspections can be booked on Weston's ePermit Portal, as the city's permit steps page explains. Work only starts once the permit is issued, so we plan the pour around the inspections rather than the other way around.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Weston?
Your price comes down to the slab's size and thickness, how much old concrete comes out first, how much base work it needs and the finish you choose. The base is the one place I won't cut, because it's buried on day one and it's what keeps the slab from sinking, so on a tight budget I'd rather pour a plain broom finish than skimp underneath. I'll go through every line of the figure with you at the estimate.
What causes concrete driveways to crack in Weston, and will a new one crack too?
Most cracks we see here come from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or from control joints that were cut late or skipped. Concrete does crack, so a new slab can too, but a packed base and joints cut on time put those cracks in the joints, where they stay straight and hard to notice. Ask any contractor you're talking to how they prepare the base, because that answer tells you more than the finish samples.
