Concrete Pavers in Sarasota, FL
Sarasota is about 48 miles from our Tampa plant. We make 60 mm concrete pavers and 8-inch block and deliver them to Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey, Nokomis and Venice. Distances are approximate straight-line distances from the Tampa plant, not driving distances. This is a delivery area, not a branch location.
Delivery
We deliver within 100–120 miles of our Tampa plant, covering Tampa Bay plus Orlando, Ocala and Fort Myers. We offer free truckload delivery within a 20-mile radius of the plant. Call (813) 884-0010 with the job address to confirm delivery eligibility, scheduling and order details.
Confirm site access, unloading arrangements and the delivery date before booking your installer. Order the full quantity for a project together because colors may vary between production lots.
Pool deck and lanai
Many Sarasota projects pave the pool deck and lanai together.
- Lighter colors can absorb less solar heat than darker colors, but all paving can become hot in direct sun. Compare Ice Gray, Sand Stone and Siesta samples under your own conditions; Universal has not published comparative surface-temperature tests.
- Olympia: its large 8x12 pieces give an open area a cleaner look with fewer joints.
- Troy and Valencia: cobbled edges for a softer, older look.
What a pool deck and lanai take
A combined 900 sq ft pool deck and lanai needs 9 cubes of Atlas, Troy, Milano or Valencia, or 8 cubes of Olympia, including 10% for cuts. Calculate your own project.
