How much does a concrete driveway cost in Fort Lauderdale?

How long does it take to install a concrete patio?
A standard concrete patio installation typically takes 3-5 days from start to finish, including site preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing. Decorative options like stamped or stained concrete may add 1-2 additional days. Curing time is typically 7 days before light use and 28 days for full strength.
What is stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete is a decorative concrete technique where patterns are pressed into freshly poured concrete to mimic the appearance of brick, stone, slate, tile, or wood. Combined with integral color and release agents, stamped concrete delivers the look of premium materials at a fraction of the cost. YNL Concrete specializes in high-end stamped concrete designs.

How long does concrete last in Florida?
Properly installed and maintained concrete in Florida typically lasts 25-30+ years. Florida's climate requires proper mix design, adequate curing, and quality sealers to protect against UV exposure, moisture, and salt air. YNL Concrete uses premium materials and techniques specifically suited for South Florida conditions.

What is the difference between stamped concrete and pavers?
Stamped concrete is a single, continuous concrete surface with patterns pressed in, while pavers are individual interlocking pieces. Stamped concrete is generally more affordable, has fewer weed and settling issues, and offers a wider range of design options. Pavers are easier to repair individually but can shift over time. YNL Concrete can help you choose the best option for your project.

How do I maintain my concrete driveway or patio?
To maintain your concrete surfaces in South Florida: seal your concrete every 2-3 years to protect against UV and moisture, clean regularly with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemical deicers (though rarely needed in Florida), address cracks early before they spread, and avoid parking heavy equipment in the same spot repeatedly. YNL Concrete offers maintenance guidance with every project.
Can you pour concrete in the rain?
We do not pour concrete during active rainfall as it can damage the surface finish and weaken the mix. Our team monitors weather closely and schedules pours accordingly. In South Florida's rainy season, we plan around afternoon storms and can often pour in the morning hours. We'll always communicate scheduling changes proactively.
What is epoxy floor coating?
Epoxy floor coating is a durable, chemical-resistant finish applied over concrete floors. It creates a smooth, glossy surface that resists stains, chemicals, and abrasion. Popular for garage floors, warehouses, showrooms, and commercial spaces. YNL Concrete installs commercial-grade epoxy systems with multiple color and flake options.
How much does stamped concrete cost compared to regular concrete?
Stamped concrete typically costs 30-50% more than standard concrete, ranging from $12 to $25+ per square foot depending on the pattern complexity and color options chosen. However, compared to natural stone or pavers, stamped concrete offers significant savings — often 50-70% less — while achieving a similar look. YNL Concrete specializes in high-end stamped concrete at competitive prices.
