Quick answer

A concrete slab contractor in DeLand works off the city's own Slab Foundation checklist. Hand in a written slab description and a dimensioned site plan. Add sealed plans if the slab has a thickened edge. Port Orange Concrete Co pours shed slabs, garage slabs, shop floors and pads, and a site visit gets you a free written estimate.

What a concrete slab contractor in DeLand hands in with the city's slab checklist

DeLand files patios and driveways under its Accessory Building or Structure permit, and it keeps a separate Slab Foundation checklist. For residential slabs on ground, section R506.1 of the Florida Residential Code sets a 3 1/2 inch minimum thickness. A slab-only permit takes a written description of the slab and a dimensioned site plan with setbacks. If the slab has a thickened edge, add signed and sealed plans.

One line on that checklist is easy to miss. If a slab disturbs soil within a foot of an existing slab, it has to show verification of termite treatment. Pouring a new pad against the garage floor or the house slab? Expect to hand in that proof. The residential code agrees: where soil treatment is used, exterior concrete within a foot of the structure gets treated too.

Permits go through the Accela Citizen Portal. At submittal, the city charges a non-refundable $100 application fee on residential work. Paperwork questions go to the Building Division. When your job needs a permit, we pull it, and we write that description from your estimate.

Astatula and Tavares ridge sand: fast drainage, and 12 subsidence reports

DeLand sits on a sandy ridge, and a concrete slab contractor in DeLand has to plan for that sand. At 123 sample points, state soil mapping shows Astatula fine sand at about 29 percent and Astatula-Urban land at 16 percent, both excessively drained. Tavares fine sand adds 16 percent, moderately well drained. About 47 percent of the points are excessively drained. And 74 percent rate "not limited" for dwellings, against 19 percent "very limited."

Sand drains, so standing water is less of a problem here than near the coast. On well-drained sand and gravel soils the residential code skips the 4 inch base course, and the building official decides if your lot is one of them. Whatever base your lot needs, we compact it and check the pitch. Thickness, steel and joints are on our slab service page.

The Florida Geological Survey's subsidence database holds 12 reports with a DeLand location, more than any other Volusia city that names one. The state says most reports are never field-checked and no cause is established. It adds that buried organic debris, broken pipes and poorly compacted fill can make depressions that look like sinkholes. A report count alone tells you nothing about your lot. What we control is the base. Debris gets cleared, the fill gets compacted in layers, and we probe before the forms go in.

We price slabs at $7 to $12 per sq ft on 4 inches, reinforced. See what the slab checklist and the oaks do to the total on these DeLand sizes.

PadPer sq ftProject totalWhat changes the price
Shed slab, 8 x 12 (96 sq ft)$7 to $12Job minimum, so the low end of $1,500 to $6,900Zoning review for sheds; the small-job minimum
Boat pad, 12 x 30 (360 sq ft)$7 to $12$2,520 to $4,320Distance to the property line; lot access
Carport slab, 12 x 24 (288 sq ft)$7 to $12$2,016 to $3,456Slope to drain; tie-in to the house slab
Detached garage slab, 20 x 24 (480 sq ft)$7 to $12$3,360 to $5,760Thickened edge, sealed plans, termite proof
Workshop slab, 24 x 36 (864 sq ft)$7 to $12$6,048 to $10,368Heavy loads; a protection zone around oaks

These stay ranges until we see your lot. A detailed written estimate, free, comes before any work begins.

Certificates of Appropriateness in the downtown, Stetson and Northwest districts

DeLand requires a Certificate of Appropriateness in a designated historic district and on individually designated properties. It covers material exterior changes and any new principal or accessory building or structure. Code Sec. 33-34.03 puts it ahead of every other permit, and a permit issued without it is invalid.

The city lists three National Register districts: Downtown DeLand (1987), Stetson University (1991) and the Northwest Historic District (1992). The Northwest district covers the Woodland-Stone Street and New York-Pennsylvania area, built up from 1883 to 1920. National Register listing and local designation aren't the same thing, so make your first call to city staff and learn which one your address has.

Does flat paving by itself need a certificate? The city's page doesn't say. A detached garage or a shed on the same lot is a new accessory structure, though, and that does. We'd rather ask than guess. If your block is near Woodland Boulevard or the Stetson campus, tell us, and we'll hold the permit filing until staff answers.

Historic trees, the 1.5 times dripline and where the pad can go

In DeLand, the tree rules reach right into paving. Code Sec. 33-57 bars paving inside the protection zone of any historic tree. For any other protected tree, paving more than half of the protection zone is prohibited unless the city approves a root protection system. Sec. 33-12 adds one more limit: nothing gets built within 1.5 times the drip line area of a historic tree unless the city accepts a root protection method.

Taking one out isn't quick either. Removing a historic tree takes a recommendation from the city forester and the tree advisory committee, plus a finding by the City Commission, with replacements equal to 100 percent of the removed tree's diameter. Residential lot applications cost nothing. The review fee runs $100 for five trees or fewer, and the tree replacement reserve is $75 per diameter inch.

DeLand is in its 38th year as a Tree City USA and maintains more than 7,000 right-of-way trees. So for a concrete slab contractor in DeLand, the oak at the back corner may decide the pad's footprint. Mark it on the survey and we'll lay out the pad so the forms and the truck stay outside the protection zone. The county side is covered in our permit guide.

Lakewood Park, Victoria Park and the impervious caps behind them

DeLand has about 13,150 single-family parcels. Victoria Park alone is near 2,400, and Lakewood Park, Stetson Home Estates, Saddlebrook, Bent Oaks and Glenwood Springs add more. The median home dates to 1996, and 28 percent of units are from 2010 or later. Blue Lake, Lake Diamond and Lake Lindley touch the city.

Code Sec. 33-17 caps impervious surface by zoning district, with the district tables running from 30 percent up to 75 percent. A new pad counts toward that cap. Concrete, asphalt or an industry-recognized porous paving approved by the city engineer is what a vehicle use area has to be. Parking on grass is prohibited, and on one- and two-family lots a vehicle area stays at least 1 foot off the property line. Sec. 33-90 sets single-family driveways at 12 to 20 feet wide.

Only about 6.5 percent of the 123 FEMA sample points fall in a flood hazard area. That means the flood carve-out in the state's under $7,500 exemption touches fewer DeLand lots than coastal ones. The city's exemption page excludes flood hazard lots and structural work. Sheds of 120 sq ft or less still get zoning review. Our DeLand page covers the rest of our work here, and as a concrete slab contractor in DeLand we'll walk you through the caps.

Our Process

What to Expect, Start to Finish

01

Read the checklist

Your slab gets matched to the city's Slab Foundation checklist, and we draft the written slab description.

02

Mark trees and districts

At the walk-through we mark protection zones and check whether a historic district applies.

03

File and locate

If the job needs a permit, we file it through Accela. Sunshine 811 gets a call before we dig.

04

Compact, form and pour

Debris gets cleared and the base compacted. Then forms and steel go in, and we place and finish the concrete.

05

Termite proof and inspection

When the pad touches an existing slab, we line up the termite verification ahead of the inspection.

What Our Clients Say

  • 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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a concrete slab contractor in DeLand file for a slab-only permit?
The file holds a written description of the slab and a dimensioned site plan with setbacks, plus sealed plans when the slab has a thickened edge. The city charges a non-refundable $100 application fee on residential work and takes the file through its Accela portal. We put it all together from your estimate, so all you do is sign.
Why does DeLand ask about termite treatment when I add a slab next to my house?
Check the city's slab checklist. It wants verification of termite treatment for any pour that disturbs soil within a foot of an existing slab. When soil treatment is used, the residential code also calls for treating the soil under exterior concrete within a foot of the structure. We plan the pour order so the proof is in hand before inspection.
Does my DeLand historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness for a slab?
A designated district or property needs the certificate for material exterior changes and any new accessory structure. Whether flat paving alone qualifies isn't on the city's page, so call staff before you pour. Plan on the certificate first if a garage or shed will sit on the slab.
How close can I pour to a big oak in DeLand?
Never inside a historic tree's protection zone, because DeLand prohibits paving there. Other protected trees can have paving over half the protection zone only with a city-approved root protection system. And nothing gets built within 1.5 times a historic tree's drip line area unless the city accepts a root protection method.
My DeLand address is outside the city limits. Who permits my pad?
Probably Volusia County. DeLand permits only inside its limits. The city points owners to the Property Appraiser site to check which side of the line they're on. Projects outside the city go to the county's building office, and work in a county right-of-way needs its own county Use Permit. Tell us what the lookup shows and we'll file with the right one.
Is DeLand's sandy ground a sinkhole risk for my slab?
The state's database lists 12 subsidence reports with a DeLand location, but it says most aren't field-checked and their causes aren't established. Buried debris and poorly compacted fill can also make sinkhole-like dips. Nobody sees underground from the surface. So we probe the pad area, clear organic debris and compact the base before pouring.
