Davie homeowners use stone masonry to upgrade entry columns, build outdoor kitchen surrounds, construct garden walls, and add natural texture to CBS homes that are otherwise uniform stucco. In Davie's higher-value neighborhoods, stone features make a meaningful difference in curb appeal and resale value. We install both natural and manufactured stone with the moisture barriers and drainage details that South Florida's humidity and rainfall demand - not the shortcuts that cause staining and joint failure within a few years.
Davie's 1970s and 1980s homes frequently feature decorative brick at entry walls, mailbox columns, and garden borders. At 30 to 50 years old, mortar joints in these brick features have gone through decades of Broward County heat, humidity, and storm exposure. Cracked and eroded joints let water in behind the brick face, and once moisture reaches the CBS block behind it, the damage is more expensive to fix than repointing would have been. We repair and repoint brick features throughout Davie before the larger problem develops.
Davie homes built in the 1980s and 1990s were typically finished with poured concrete driveways, and those surfaces are now 30 to 40 years old. Sandy and clay soils in Broward County shift under repeated wet and dry cycles, cracking concrete slabs and creating uneven surfaces. On Davie's equestrian properties with long driveways, full concrete demolition and replacement is a large and expensive project. Paver systems are the preferred upgrade here - they handle soil movement better and allow individual sections to be reset without a full tear-out.
Davie receives about 60 inches of rain per year on average, and low-lying yards across the town are vulnerable to pooling after heavy afternoon storms. Retaining walls built with proper drainage relief behind them redirect water away from foundations and landscaping rather than letting it saturate soil against block or brick. We size and build retaining walls for Davie's soil conditions and rainfall, including the larger-scale wall projects that come with equestrian and large-lot properties.
Davie's CBS homes are nearly all finished with stucco over the block frame, and decades of South Florida UV exposure break down the coating at control joints, window frames, and roof transitions. Stucco that has been cracking and absorbing moisture for several seasons without repair creates water intrusion risk that is far more expensive to address than the stucco repair itself. We restore and recoat stucco on Davie homes with finishes that hold up in the local humidity and heat.
New block wall construction in Davie covers everything from backyard privacy walls and pool enclosures to property line walls on equestrian lots. CBS is the correct material choice for South Florida because it handles humidity and wind load far better than wood alternatives. We build concrete block walls to Town of Davie permit requirements and to the wind-load standards that matter in a county exposed to Atlantic hurricane activity every year.
The bulk of Davie's housing stock was built during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, when Broward County grew rapidly westward. That makes most homes here 30 to 50 years old - well past the point where original masonry features, stucco coatings, and concrete flatwork need serious attention. CBS construction holds up well in South Florida, but it is not maintenance-free. Mortar joints in brick and block features erode from decades of humidity and storm exposure. Stucco cracks at joints and transitions as the house moves slightly over its lifetime. Driveways and walkways crack as the sandy and clay-mix soil beneath them shifts through wet and dry seasons. None of these are catastrophic failures, but they are also not problems that get smaller if you ignore them.
Davie is also unusual for a South Florida town because of its equestrian character. Large lots, long driveways, property line walls that run hundreds of feet, and outbuildings create masonry scopes that are simply bigger than what most contractors around here are used to handling efficiently. The town's equestrian zoning areas in the central and western parts of Davie have properties where the driveway alone is longer than an entire suburban lot in Miramar or Pembroke Pines. We are used to that scale and we plan material orders and crew time accordingly.
We pull permits through the Town of Davie Building Division and are familiar with the review process for masonry wall construction, stone veneer work, and structural repairs on the CBS homes throughout the town. Davie operates its own building department separate from Broward County for most residential projects, and knowing which project types require full plan review versus a simpler over-the-counter permit saves time at the start of a job.
The town stretches across State Road 84 and Griffin Road as its main east-west corridors, with University Drive running north-south past Nova Southeastern University through the center of Davie. We have worked on homes near Tree Tops Park in the central part of the town as well as on equestrian properties in the western areas off Flamingo Road. The Bergeron Rodeo Grounds near Orange Drive is a useful landmark - the neighborhoods around it give you a good picture of Davie's more rural, large-lot character that sets it apart from neighboring Miramar and Pembroke Pines.
We serve neighboring Coral Springs to the north and Fort Lauderdale to the east as well - if your project crosses municipal lines or you have a neighbor who needs work done, we cover the full Broward County area.
Contact us by phone or through the online form and describe what you need. We get back to you within one business day to confirm scope and schedule a site visit.
We visit the property, assess the full scope including drainage and access considerations, and deliver a written itemized estimate. If permits are required through the Town of Davie Building Division, that is factored into the estimate with no hidden costs added later.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit permit applications, order materials, and schedule the work. You do not need to be home for every day of the project - we keep you updated on progress and flag anything that changes along the way.
When the work is complete, we walk through it with you and address any outstanding items. If the project required a city inspection, we coordinate that visit and ensure the permit is closed out for your records.
Whether it is a stone feature on your front entry, a paver driveway on a large lot, or brick repair on a 40-year-old wall, we work throughout Davie and will get back to you within one business day.
(772) 264-9670Davie is one of the largest towns in Broward County, with about 105,000 residents spread across roughly 35 square miles of mostly single-family neighborhoods. It is one of the few places in South Florida that has held onto its agricultural and equestrian character - the town has zoning that allows horses on residential lots in certain areas, and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds hosts the Davie Pro Rodeo, which has run for decades and remains a defining feature of the community's identity. Nova Southeastern University is also located in Davie and brings a large student and faculty population to the eastern side of town, creating a distinct character from the quieter, larger-lot neighborhoods in the central and western areas.
The majority of Davie's homes were built during the town's growth years in the 1970s through the 1990s, which means the housing stock is between 30 and 50 years old and dominated by CBS construction with stucco exteriors. Median home values run well above the Florida average, and most homeowners here are long-term owner-occupants who invest in keeping their properties in good shape. Tree Tops Park is a popular local landmark in the central part of town, and the neighborhoods between there and the western equestrian areas capture the range of Davie property types we work on. We also serve the nearby communities of Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale for all masonry work.
