Concrete contractor in Narcoossee FL: old colony, new neighborhoods
Narcoossee began as an English settlement: E. Nelson Fell laid it out on lakefront land, and English settlers began arriving in 1883 to grow citrus. Hard freezes in the 1890s and a severe drought in 1908 emptied it; by 1910 only two families remained, and the land along County Road 15, Narcoossee Road, stayed rural for decades. The Ashton area nearby traces to the same colony. Today the corridor is filling with subdivisions, among them Weslyn Park, the first village of Tavistock's 24,000-acre Sunbridge development near Cyrils Drive and Narcoossee Road, and the annual Battle at Narcoossee Mill reenactment ended in 2024 to make way for development.
That mix shapes the concrete work: new homes needing patios, lanai slabs and driveway widenings, and older acreage lots needing long driveways, equipment slabs and pads.

Near the lake
Lots toward East Lake Tohopekaliga sit on the lowest, wettest ground in the area. A driveway or lanai slab there gets more attention to fill, compaction and where the water goes; the sandy soil guide has the soil survey figures.
