Serving Marco Island, FL and surrounding areas. (239) 448-0065
Marco Island Concrete & Masonry is a masonry contractor serving Lely Resort, FL, specializing in outdoor kitchen masonry, driveway pavers, and concrete block work for homes throughout this master-planned community. We have served Southwest Florida since 2019 and work in Lely Resort regularly, pulling Collier County permits and building to the exterior standards this community maintains.
Lely Resort homeowners invest in their outdoor living spaces, and a masonry outdoor kitchen built from block, stone, or brick holds up to Southwest Florida heat, rain, and salt air far better than prefab metal frames. Our outdoor kitchen masonry work is designed to complement the resort aesthetic that defines this community and withstand the heavy summer rain season that takes a toll on lighter structures.
Paver driveways are the standard in Lely Resort, and many homes here are now 15 to 30 years old - old enough that original paver bases have shifted, joints have opened, and edges have sunk where sandy Collier County soil has settled. We reset, re-level, and replace paver driveways with proper compacted bases that account for the community drainage and soil conditions.
Many Lely Resort villas and single-family homes have pool decks and lanai walkways that were built in the 1990s and early 2000s and are now showing cracks, settling, and trip hazards. We replace aging concrete walkways with paver or stone surfaces graded for positive drainage away from pool enclosures and home foundations.
Concrete block privacy walls and boundary walls are common throughout Lely Resort, separating yards, pool areas, and screened lanais. After years of humidity, UV exposure, and the seasonal wet-dry cycle, these walls develop mortar joint deterioration and surface spalling that needs to be addressed before water penetrates the block core.
Stucco exteriors throughout Lely Resort face constant pressure from the Gulf Coast climate. Salt air carried inland from the coast, combined with intense UV and seasonal rain, causes stucco to crack and peel on homes that have not been maintained. Restoring the exterior now is significantly less costly than addressing water intrusion behind the stucco later.
Lely Resort was built on flat, low-lying terrain with lakes and retention ponds throughout. Properties near these water features can experience erosion along pond banks and soil movement at lot edges during heavy rain. A properly engineered retaining wall stabilizes the soil, defines the property boundary, and prevents gradual erosion from undermining patios and driveways.
Lely Resort is a master-planned community built primarily between the early 1990s and the mid-2010s on flat, sandy Collier County land about seven miles southeast of downtown Naples. Most homes here are now 10 to 35 years old - new enough that CBS construction is sound, but old enough that driveways, pool decks, walkways, and exterior stucco are reaching the end of their first service life. The subtropical climate accelerates that timeline significantly. Southwest Florida gets more than 50 inches of rain per year, most of it falling in heavy afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. That water saturates the sandy, poorly draining soil beneath slabs and paver bases, causing gradual settling and surface cracking. The community also sits within Collier County areas affected by storm surge risk, and Hurricane Ian in 2022 caused significant damage across the region, including to outdoor structures, block walls, and driveways.
Lely Resort is also roughly seven miles from the Gulf of Mexico, meaning salt air moves through the community regularly and accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners and surface degradation on stucco. The community is managed through its own Community Development District, and the golf courses and resort amenities here set a high visual standard that homeowners work to match on their own properties. HOA exterior standards are real in this community, and any masonry work on the exterior of a home needs to fit the established aesthetic. Knowing the difference between what requires approval and what does not saves significant scheduling delays.
Our crew works throughout Lely Resort regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry work here. Lely Resort is in unincorporated Collier County, so all permits run through Collier County rather than a city office - and our team is familiar with the process. The community spans more than 40 distinct neighborhoods, and job sites range from attached villas near the golf courses to larger estate homes on the outer streets with private driveways and pool areas.
U.S. Route 41, the Tamiami Trail, runs along the southwestern edge of Lely Resort and is our main access route in and out of the community. From U.S. 41, we can reach any part of Lely Resort quickly. The Flamingo and Mustang golf courses define the character of the community, and properties adjacent to those courses are held to a particularly high exterior standard. We plan our masonry and concrete work to match that standard, from material selection through finished surface treatment.
We also serve Golden Gate, located to the northwest and sharing the same Collier County permit process and similar soil conditions. Our crews move between these communities regularly, so scheduling is straightforward for homeowners in either area.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within one business day to schedule an on-site visit. No commitment is needed at this stage.
We walk the property, assess the soil and drainage conditions, and provide a written estimate with no pressure to decide on the spot. For HOA communities, we can review exterior guidelines during this visit.
We pull any required Collier County permits before work starts. Our crew handles site prep, base compaction, and the masonry build itself. You do not need to be home for most phases of the work.
We walk the finished work with you before closing out, confirming that surfaces, joints, and drainage all meet the agreed scope. Seasonal homeowners can schedule their final walkthrough for when they return.

(239) 448-0065Lely Resort is a census-designated place in Collier County, Florida, developed as a large master-planned community starting in the early 1990s. The community covers several thousand acres and includes over 40 distinct neighborhoods with a mix of condominiums, coach homes, villas, townhomes, and single-family estate homes. Three championship golf courses - the Flamingo Course, the Mustang Course, and the Classics Course - anchor the community along with the Players Club and Spa, the social and recreational hub for residents. The result is a community where exterior appearance and property upkeep are taken seriously by residents and enforced through HOA standards. You can read more about the community at the Lely Resort Wikipedia page.
With a population of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 and a median age well above 60, Lely Resort leans toward retirees and seasonal residents, many of whom spend winters here and summers elsewhere. That seasonal rhythm means some properties sit unoccupied for months at a time, and deferred masonry maintenance is common - homeowners return in the fall to find cracked driveways, shifted pavers, or block walls showing salt stains. We serve homeowners in East Naples as well, which borders Lely Resort and shares much of the same housing age, soil conditions, and seasonal homeowner profile.
