More and more developers, contractors, and even residential homeowners in Central Florida are choosing precast concrete for their project. Precast concrete has become one of the economical materials for border walls, fences, Hardscapes, and landscape retaining walls.
Benefits of Precast Concrete According to the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA)
Superior Strength and Durability
Strength gradually increases over time
Exterior cladding panels can easily be designed to handle structural building loads, thereby reducing the need for other structural components.
Does not deteriorate, experience creep and stress relaxation, loose strength and/or deflect over time.
Safety and Protection
Precast concrete provides excellent protection against impacts from explosions, vehicles, and projectiles

Ease of Installation
Precast concrete panels have a distinct advantage over other materials such as brick, concrete masonry, cast-in-place concrete and EIFS.
Because precast panels are manufactured well in advance of installation, they are ready for transportation to the job site at a moment’s notice.
Consistent Quality
Because precast concrete products are typically produced in a controlled plant environment, they exhibit high quality and uniformity.
Problems affecting quality typically found on a job site – temperature, curing conditions, craftsmanship and material quality – are nearly eliminated in a plant environment.
