Quick answer

In DeLand a tree can decide where your walk goes. City code prohibits paving inside the protection zone of a historic tree and caps paving at 50 percent of the zone of other protected trees. Port Orange Concrete Co is the concrete sidewalk contractor in DeLand that maps your trees first, then draws the route and prices it in writing.

Concrete sidewalk contractor in DeLand: the tree rules come first

Code Sec. 33-57 prohibits paving inside the tree protection zone of any historic tree. It also prohibits paving more than 50 percent of the zone of any other protected tree, unless the city approves a root protection system. Sec. 33-12 adds that nothing gets built within 1.5 times the drip line area of a historic tree unless the city accepts a root protection method.

Getting a tree removed takes more than a phone call. A historic tree needs a recommendation from the city forester and the tree advisory committee, then a finding by the City Commission. Replacements must equal 100 percent of the removed tree's diameter. On the city's tree permitting page you'll find a $0 application for a residential lot, a $100 review fee for five trees or fewer, $200 for historic tree removal, and a $75 replacement reserve per diameter inch.

We walk the lot with a tape and mark the drip lines before we draw anything, the same first step behind every sidewalk job we price. Any trunk in the way means the route bends around it.

Which permit a DeLand walk falls under

DeLand's Accessory Building or Structure permit covers fences, retaining walls, decks, patios, driveways and more. Sidewalks aren't on that list. So for a front walk, we first ask the Building Division which path it takes. Residential applications carry a $100 nonrefundable fee due at submittal, and permits are filed and scheduled on the Accela Citizen Portal.

The package includes a dimensioned site plan with setbacks. On grading, the city wants as-built surveys to show extra spot elevations along each side lot line, so reviewers can catch humps or dips that block stormwater. We pitch a walk to shed water toward the street or your own yard, never the neighbor's.

DeLand takes HB 803 exemption requests through its electronic permit system. Those exclude any property partly or entirely in a flood hazard area, which covers about 6.5 percent of sample points here. That's far fewer than on the coast, so the flood carve-out matters less here than at the beach. The permit guide explains the exemption in full.

These are our Volusia County ranges for a concrete sidewalk contractor in DeLand. Routing around a protected tree changes the length. Every figure comes with a free written estimate after we see the site.

We figure 4 inches thick and 3 to 4 feet wide. Your free written estimate puts tear-out, base, concrete, tree-protection steps and the permit on separate lines.

Downtown, Stetson and the Northwest historic districts

DeLand lists three National Register districts: Downtown DeLand (1987), Stetson University (1991) and the Northwest district (1992). The Northwest district takes in the Woodland-Stone Street and New York-Pennsylvania area and homes built from 1883 to 1920. About 6.5 percent of the city's housing units went up before 1940, so some walks here lead to very old houses.

Code Sec. 33-34.03 requires a Certificate of Appropriateness in designated historic districts and on designated properties, for material exterior changes and for any new principal or accessory building or structure. It has to come before any other permit, and a permit issued without one is invalid. The city's page doesn't say whether flat paving alone needs a certificate, or which National Register areas are also locally designated.

So the estimate waits on a call to city staff. If a certificate applies, we draw the walk to match the house and wait for approval before we order concrete.

Ridge sand under a DeLand walk

DeLand sits up on the sandy ridge. At sample points inside the city, Astatula fine sand covers 28.5 percent, Tavares fine sand 16.3 percent, and the Astatula-Urban land complex another 16.3 percent. 47.2 percent of points are excessively drained and 22.0 percent moderately well drained, and 74.0 percent rate not limited for dwellings. Only 6.5 percent of sample points sit in a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Fast-draining sand sounds easy. It moves, though. It rolls away from the edge of a form, and it settles under a pour on loose ground. The Florida Geological Survey says buried organic debris, broken pipes and poorly compacted fill can create depressions that mimic sinkholes. We pull the debris, compact the base and check it before the concrete shows up.

Lake Winnemisett, Blue Lake, Lake Diamond, Lake Lindley and Little Haw Creek sit in or touch the city. If your lot is near the water and looks wet, we dig a test spot before we set the base.

Victoria Park, Lakewood Park and the HOA step

DeLand has about 13,154 single-family parcels. Victoria Park is the biggest planned community, with about 2,393 parcels in its own groups and 3,708 counting Victoria Oaks and Victoria Gardens. Lakewood Park, Saddlebrook, Bent Oaks, Stetson Home Estates and Fern Garden Estates are among the others. Homes here run newer than on the coast: 28.4 percent of units were built in 2010 or later, and the median build year is 1996.

Live in an association neighborhood? Florida law gives you a handy order of steps. F.S. 720.3035 says an HOA can't require a government building permit before it reviews your plans, so you can seek approval first. It may review location, size, type and appearance only as far as its declaration or published guidelines allow, and any denial must be in writing and cite the rule relied on.

We hand your association a plan and a material sample it can approve or turn down. Our DeLand concrete page covers other jobs. For tie-ins, the DeLand driveway page covers the driveway rules. Send us your HOA letter and tell us about the trees. We settle that paperwork before the forms go in, the way concrete sidewalk contractors in DeLand should.

What Our Clients Say

5.0 out of 5 from 14 Google reviews See all reviews on Google

  • I called four companies about tearing out our cracked patio and putting in a bigger one. Two never came out, one came out and never sent a number, and one texted a price with nothing else. These guys came out the next morning, measured, and the owner sat at our kitchen table and went through what he would do and why, including why he wanted it a little thicker where the grill sits. The quote matched the bill to the dollar. What stuck with me was the crew. We have a newborn at home and they kept the radio off and the noise down without us asking. They carried every bag through the side gate instead of across the lawn too. Patio came out flat and drains away from the house like it should. Real people doing honest work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pour a walk under a DeLand live oak?
Not inside the protection zone of a historic tree, where the code prohibits paving. Around other protected trees, paving can cover no more than 50 percent of the zone unless the city approves a root protection system. We measure the drip line and draw the route outside it. You see the plan before any forms go in.
What does the city charge to remove a tree for a new walk?
A residential lot pays a $0 application and a $100 review fee for five trees or fewer. Historic tree removal runs $200, replacements must equal 100 percent of the removed diameter, and the replacement reserve is $75 per inch. Take a tree out without a permit and the review fee doubles.
Which permit does a concrete sidewalk contractor in DeLand pull for a front walk?
The city's Accessory Building or Structure permit lists patios and driveways. Sidewalks aren't named. The $100 residential application fee is due at submittal on the Accela portal. We ask the Building Division which path fits your address, pull that permit and give it its own line in the written estimate, so inspection holds no surprises.
Does a concrete walk in a DeLand historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness?
In designated districts, the certificate covers material exterior changes and any new structure, and it comes ahead of other permits. The city's page doesn't say whether flat paving alone needs one, so we ask staff. If one applies, we draw the walk to suit the house and wait for approval.
Does my Victoria Park HOA have to approve a new walk?
If your declaration or published guidelines give the association that power, yes. Florida law limits its review of location, size and appearance to that extent, and it can't demand a city permit first. Denials must be written and cite the rule. Send us your guidelines and we'll prepare the submittal.
Does sandy DeLand soil make a walk easier to build?
It drains fast, which helps, but ridge sand shifts and settles unless it's compacted. We remove roots and debris, compact the base in lifts and check it before the pour. The Florida Geological Survey notes poorly compacted fill can cause depressions. That's the failure we're preventing.
