Concrete Patio Contractors in Bayonet Point, FL

A 12 by 16 patio against Pasco's 500 square foot line

Pasco County's current exemption sheet lists "non-structural concrete flatwork, under 500 square feet (per parcel), not to be built on" as work that needs no building permit. That one sentence sorts backyard jobs out here. A 12 by 16 slab is 192 sq ft, which at $7 to $12 per sq ft is $1,344 to $2,304. A 20 by 24 is 480 sq ft and comes to $3,360 to $5,760. Both sit under the line. Both get priced in a free written estimate after we see the site.

Watch the words "under" and "per parcel." A 20 by 25 pour is exactly 500 sq ft, and exactly 500 isn't under 500. Already have a slab out back and want to add on? Ask Pasco Building Construction Services whether the old concrete counts toward the parcel total before you draw the new edge. The Hernando and Pasco permit guide lists the office, the portal and the paperwork if yours does cross the line.

Pouring for a lanai or screen room you haven't built yet

The same Pasco sheet that frees small slabs has a catch if you're planning ahead. A slab "intended for a future structure requires a permit and plans stamped and sealed by a Design Professional." A pad you pour today for a screen enclosure next spring isn't a no-permit pour, even at 300 sq ft. If a roof, a screen room or a glass-in is even a maybe, tell us at the site visit. We'll quote two slabs: a plain slab that stays open, and a permitted slab with the footing and sealed plans the county asks for.

Pour a plain pad and roof it later, and you've built on a slab the sheet says is "NOT to be built on." That's the expensive mistake, because the slab never went through the permit and sealed plans a structure needs. Our slab page explains what a building slab adds. The work from the first grade stake to the finish is on the concrete patio contractors page.

Tavares sand, Candler sand and the Bear Creek side

Dry sand covers the ground we sampled here. Tavares sand and Tavares-Urban land are moderately well drained, Candler fine sand is excessively drained, and all of them are rated "not limited" for dwellings. Together they made up about two thirds of the soil sample points. Sand drains rain away from a slab, which is good. It also settles under a slab if nobody compacts it, so we strip sod and roots and compact the base in lifts before the forms go up.

The wet spots are on the creek side. Pompano fine sand, poorly drained and frequently flooded, showed up at about 8 percent of sample points, and Bear Creek and Double Hammock Creek both run through the community. About 21 percent of the flood sample points fell in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, either AE or A. The $7,500 permit exemption doesn't apply on flood-hazard property. Pasco's current sheet (rev. 6/30/2026) doesn't repeat that carve-out for the flatwork line, but the older 2/18/2026 sheet still linked from the Building Construction page excludes flood-zone parcels from its whole list. If your lot touches a mapped zone, get the county's answer in writing. Pasco's Flood Program page is where you look up your zone.

Beacon Woods, Gulf Highlands and Country Club Estates yards

Mapped subdivisions here include Beacon Woods, Greencastle of Bayonet Point, Gulf Highlands, Jasmine Lakes, Jasmine Trails, Timber Oaks, Linkside East and West, Hudson Ridge and Country Club Estates. About two thirds of the community's housing is single-family detached, and 71.7 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Roads mapped inside it include US-19, SR-52, Little Road, Fivay Road, Regency Park Boulevard and Clock Tower Parkway.

If your street has an association, get its approval in writing before the day we schedule. The county's permit doesn't replace it. If the slab runs along a lot line, we mark the corners with stakes and string at the walk-through, so you and the neighbor can see the edge before the forms go in. The Bayonet Point concrete contractors page covers the rest of the area. The Bayonet Point driveway page covers the apron and the front of the lot.

Concrete patio contractors in Bayonet Point: extend, tear out or stamp

The median house here dates to 1979, so a back slab may be worn but not broken. If the old slab is level and sound, an extension can cost less than a full replacement pour. If it has settled or heaved, we price a tear-out and a fresh pour. If the surface is just rough, the concrete repair and resurfacing page explains the quote-only option.

Want a stone or brick look? A stamped concrete patio is priced separately at $12 to $22 per sq ft, so a 15 by 20, 300 sq ft one is $3,600 to $6,600 with a free written estimate. Weighing it against pavers? The poured version is one solid slab, and the stamped concrete vs pavers guide lays out upkeep and permit differences side by side. Send us a rough size, a photo of the back door and your address, and we'll bring the tape.

Whichever slab you pick, every pour ends with the same curing step. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's curing guide says curing should start right after finishing and typically run 3 to 7 days, and that in hot weather a higher early curing temperature gives faster early strength but lower final strength, which water curing can bring down. So we pour in the cooler part of a Pasco day when we can and keep the new slab damp and covered.
