Dunedin's waterfront cottages and ranches sit under massive live oaks that have been lifting sidewalks and cracking driveways for decades. We're St. Petersburg Concrete, and we know this town inside out: the shallow sandy fill, the root heave, the salt air eating at older slabs, and the way a heavy summer downpour can undermine a sub-base overnight.
Homeowners in Dunedin (34698) call us when their driveway has settled, their front walkway is buckling, or a spalling pool deck needs rescue before the next hurricane season. We've repaired hundreds of properties across the St. Petersburg area, and we understand exactly why concrete fails here and how to fix it right.
Concrete in Dunedin (34698)
Dunedin sits on the low Pinellas peninsula between the bay and the Gulf, built on fine sand and shell fill over limestone with a shallow water table. That means no freeze-thaw cracking, but it also means slabs settle when fill washes out beneath them, storm surge and heavy summer thunderstorms undermine foundations, and salt air corrodes rebar and spalls waterfront concrete. Live oak roots are relentless: they crack and heave sidewalks and driveways year after year. Black mildew grows on shaded slabs in the humid subtropical shade. And after the 2024 hurricane floods, many homes are going up on raised slabs, which changes drainage and access patterns we have to account for.
We've worked on everything from the historic cottages around Dunedin's waterfront to the mid-century ranches inland, and we know the permitting and HOA coordination that comes with this neighborhood. Our team has lifted sunken slabs, resurfaced cracked driveways, sealed salt-damaged pool decks, and replaced walkways destroyed by oak roots. We've done emergency repairs after storms and planned replacements before they become hazards.

How a Job Works in Dunedin
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (727) 491-2239, we schedule a time that works for you, and we walk your property, look at the concrete, check the drainage, and talk through what's failing and why. We'll give you a realistic estimate and explain the options, whether that's repair, resurfacing, leveling, or replacement.
Once you're ready, we handle the work. For driveways and walkways in Dunedin, that often means coordinating with the city on permits and right-of-way requirements, managing tight lot access around oak trees and established landscaping, and timing the pour around the weather. Summer pours mean early morning starts to beat the heat and afternoon thunderstorms. We bring in the crew, do the demo and prep if needed, set forms, pour and finish the concrete, and cure it properly in the salt air and humidity.
When we're done, we haul away debris, clean up the site, and walk through the finished work with you. You get a clean property and concrete that will hold up to Dunedin's weather and roots for years.
Pricing in Dunedin depends on the size of the job, site access, the condition of what's underneath, and how urgent the work is. A basic concrete driveway or patio runs from $6 per square foot; repair and resurfacing of an existing slab starts at $3 per square foot; concrete leveling and slab lifting (common here because of root heave and settlement) starts at $4 per square foot; and decorative or stamped finishes run $10 per square foot and up. Pool deck sealing, which protects against salt spray and mildew, starts at $0.75 per square foot. A typical Dunedin driveway replacement might run $4,000 to $8,000 depending on size and condition. A sunken slab lift can save thousands compared to replacement. The best way to know what your project will cost is to call us for a free estimate at (727) 491-2239. We'll look at the site, tell you what we see, and give you honest numbers.
