Serving Viera West, FL and surrounding areas. (321) 358-0165
Viera West Concrete is a licensed concrete contractor serving Melbourne, FL with driveway building, patio construction, and pool deck installation - from the older ranch homes in Eau Gallie to the newer subdivisions near Viera, we have worked on all kinds of Melbourne homes and know what the local soil and coastal air do to concrete over time.
Melbourne has a large share of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, and many of those original driveways are at or past their expected lifespan. Sandy soil under the slab shifts when it gets repeatedly wet during rainy season, causing cracks that patching alone will not solve. Our concrete driveway building service includes proper base preparation, Brevard County permits, and drainage grading to handle Melbourne's summer downpours.
In-ground pools with screened enclosures are common throughout Melbourne, and a lot of those concrete pool decks from the 1980s and 1990s have developed cracks from the sandy soil shifting underneath them. A textured, properly sloped replacement deck handles the UV exposure and wet-dry cycles that plain concrete cannot withstand indefinitely in this climate.
Melbourne's mild winters and outdoor-friendly weather make a well-built patio one of the most practical investments a homeowner can make here. A patio that is not graded correctly toward the yard - not the foundation - will collect standing water after every summer storm, a real problem for low-lying Melbourne properties near the Indian River.
Melbourne has a mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer construction, and stamped concrete gives homeowners in either style a way to upgrade their outdoor surfaces without the maintenance that natural stone or pavers require. Patterns that suit an older Eau Gallie bungalow look very different from what works on a newer stucco home - we can help you find the right fit.
Melbourne properties near canals, the Indian River, or low-lying older neighborhoods deal with soil erosion from repeated seasonal flooding. A properly built concrete retaining wall holds the ground in place, protects your foundation from shifting, and keeps landscaping from washing away during Melbourne's heavy summer rain events.
Virtually every Melbourne home sits on a concrete slab, and any addition, detached garage, or new construction on a Melbourne lot requires a properly permitted and inspected slab. The water table in parts of Brevard County sits close to the surface, which means the moisture barrier and compaction steps under any new slab here are more important than contractors often acknowledge.
Melbourne is Brevard County's largest city, and its housing stock reflects several decades of Florida growth. The oldest neighborhoods - particularly in the Eau Gallie area in northern Melbourne - have concrete block homes from the 1950s through 1970s, many with original flatwork that is approaching or past its expected lifespan. On the western side of the city, newer subdivisions from the 1990s onward have different challenges: HOA finish requirements, tighter drainage constraints, and soil conditions that vary block by block depending on how recently that land was developed. Sandy, loose soil throughout Brevard County is the single biggest factor in concrete failure here - it shifts when wet and washes out under slabs that were not properly compacted at install time.
Melbourne's proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic coast adds a layer of wear that inland properties do not face. Salt air works on unsealed concrete surfaces year-round, and the combination of intense UV exposure and high humidity means unsealed flatwork deteriorates noticeably faster here than in drier parts of the state. The rainy season from June through September drops roughly 50 inches of rain per year on the city, and low-lying neighborhoods - particularly those near the river and older drainage areas - regularly deal with standing water after heavy storms. Concrete that is not properly sloped and sealed does not just look bad over time - it develops surface damage and base erosion that leads to full replacement well before it should.
Our crew works throughout Melbourne regularly, and we pull permits through Brevard County Building Services for every concrete job here, the same as we do across all of our service areas. Melbourne is a city where a lot of homeowners have lived in their homes for a long time, and deferred maintenance on concrete driveways and patios is something we see routinely - surfaces that were poured in the 1970s and 1980s and are finally showing the base failures that catch up with even well-maintained concrete.
The Eau Gallie Arts District in northern Melbourne has some of the most distinct older homes in Brevard County - properties with character and variety that you do not find in newer subdivisions. Those homes often have concrete entry steps, walkways, and driveways that need careful attention to match the existing aesthetic. Further west, Melbourne shades into the Viera corridor, where newer planned community homes are more uniform in style and HOA requirements shape what finishes are permissible. US-1 runs through the middle of the city, and Wickham Road connects east and west Melbourne - we cover both sides of town. Melbourne also borders Melbourne Village, a small neighboring municipality with its own character, and we serve homeowners there as well.
To the south, Melbourne connects to West Melbourne, a faster-growing community with many newer homes that bring their own set of drainage and finish considerations. We work throughout that area as well and understand how conditions shift as you move across this part of Brevard County.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a site visit at a time that works for you - no need for you to be present during the estimate visit, though many homeowners prefer to walk through the project in person.
We visit your property, measure the work area, check site drainage, and discuss your finish preferences. You receive a written, itemized estimate - covering base preparation, concrete work, and the Brevard County permit fee - before you commit to anything. This is the step where any cost questions get answered directly.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle the Brevard County permit application. Permit review typically takes a few business days to two weeks. We confirm your start date once the permit is in hand - no work begins before that point.
Our crew removes the old surface, prepares and compacts the base, pours, and finishes the concrete - typically completing active work within two to three days depending on project size. After the pour, concrete needs about seven days before vehicles can use it. We leave your property clean and walk you through any curing-period care before we go.

(321) 358-0165Melbourne is Brevard County's largest city, home to roughly 84,000 residents along Florida's Atlantic coast. It sits along the Indian River Lagoon, one of North America's most biodiverse estuaries, and is part of the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville metro area. The city's economy is shaped heavily by the aerospace and defense industry - companies like L3Harris Technologies are headquartered here, and the proximity to Kennedy Space Center and Patrick Space Force Base draws engineers and skilled professionals who tend to own their homes long-term. That stable homeownership base, combined with rising home values across Brevard County, means Melbourne homeowners have real equity and tend to invest in keeping their properties in good shape.
The city has distinct neighborhoods with very different characters. The Eau Gallie Arts District in northern Melbourne was once its own city before merging with Melbourne in 1969, and its older homes have a variety of styles not found in newer parts of town. Closer to the coast, many properties sit near canals or within a short distance of the ocean, making salt air a constant consideration for any exterior surface. The western neighborhoods - those closer to Viera and the Rockledge border - tend to have newer construction from the 1990s and 2000s, where HOA requirements and planned community standards shape what exterior work looks like. Whether a homeowner is in a 1970s ranch near the river or a newer stucco home out west, the concrete challenges here are real and local.
