Fort Myers Shores sits on some of the most challenging ground in Southwest Florida, with riverside lots along the Caloosahatchee that mix older ranch homes and newer builds all settling into soft, wet, sandy fill. Your concrete driveway, patio, or foundation is working against shallow limestone, a high water table, and year-round heat and salt air that crack and spall flatwork faster than anywhere else in the region.
That's why homeowners in the 33905 ZIP code call Cape Coral Concrete when their driveways sink, their pool decks crack, or their slabs need lifting before a small problem becomes a safety hazard. We know Fort Myers Shores. We've repaired hundreds of sunken walkways and settled driveways on these soft, dredged-fill lots, and we know how to build new concrete that holds up to the Caloosahatchee climate.
Concrete in Fort Myers Shores (33905)
Fort Myers Shores is built on sandy fill dredged from the canals decades ago, laid over shell and shallow limestone with a water table that sits just a few feet down. That fill settles unevenly, especially under the weight of concrete. You'll see it everywhere: sunken driveway panels, cracked and spalling patios, undermined slab edges, and walkways that have dropped an inch or more and become trip hazards. The older seawall backfill behind some patios can wash out entirely during the rainy season, leaving concrete unsupported and dangerous. Add year-round UV, salt air that corrodes rebar near the water, and the intense afternoon thunderstorms that run June through September, and concrete here takes a real beating.
Our team has served Fort Myers Shores and the surrounding Cape Coral area for years. We understand that your lot is small, access is tight between the seawall and your neighbor's property line, and your HOA has rules about what you can do and when. We've lifted sunken slabs with precision, repaired spalling concrete on pool decks, and built new driveways and foundations on this difficult ground using proper compaction, drainage, and reinforcement so they stay level and crack-free for years to come.

How a Job Works in Fort Myers Shores
We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the ground, check for standing water or poor drainage, measure the job, and understand your access constraints and any HOA requirements. We'll tell you what we see, what needs to happen, and what it will cost. No surprises, no pressure.
When we're ready to work, we come prepared for Fort Myers Shores conditions. If we're lifting a sunken slab, we drill strategically to inject polyurethane foam and raise it back to level without breaking it. If we're pouring new concrete, we compact the fill properly, set the base and grade carefully to shed water away from your foundation and pool deck, and finish it to code. If your lot has tight access between the seawall and your neighbor's property, we work within those constraints. We coordinate with your HOA if required and pull any necessary permits with the City of Cape Coral before we start.
When the work is done, we clean up completely, haul away debris, and walk through the finished job with you. Your property is left clean and your concrete is ready to use.
Pricing in Fort Myers Shores depends on the size of the job, ground conditions, access, and how urgently you need it done. A basic concrete driveway runs from $6 per square foot, and a patio is similar. If you need decorative or stamped concrete, budget $10 per square foot. Concrete repair and resurfacing for existing slabs starts at $3 per square foot, and slab lifting (which is very common here on settled fill) runs from $4 per square foot. A new foundation or concrete slab is $5 per square foot, and pool deck work is $8 per square foot. Sealing to protect against salt air and UV costs $0.75 per square foot and extends the life of your concrete significantly in this climate. For a 500-square-foot driveway, you're looking at $3,000 to $3,500 for standard concrete, more if the ground needs extra prep or if you want a textured or decorative finish.
