Brick Paver and Fence Services Designed for Lake Myrtle Living
Lake Myrtle sits in the heart of Auburndale, a city that’s grown steadily over the past decade while holding onto the small-town feel that residents moved here for. The lake covers about 78 acres and anchors a neighborhood where homes, parks, and one of the region’s biggest sports complexes all share the same stretch of shoreline. KS Solutions brings reliable brick paver and fence services in Lake Myrtle, FL to homeowners who want outdoor spaces that look sharp, function well, and hold up against everything Central Florida’s weather throws at them. Whether you need a new paver driveway, a privacy fence, a pool deck upgrade, or artificial turf for your yard, we handle every part of the job from start to finish.
Auburndale has been on a growth trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down. More than 1,000 single-family residential lots are in various stages of development across the city, and major employers like Coca-Cola and Medline keep the local economy humming. Florida Polytechnic University and the I-4 corridor have brought new energy to the area, and the Lake Myrtle Sports Park draws thousands of visitors each year for baseball, soccer, and other events. All of that growth means more homes, more yards, and more demand for quality outdoor construction. That’s where we come in.
Our crew installs brick pavers, builds fences, and lays artificial turf for residential properties throughout the Lake Myrtle area. We also serve homeowners in surrounding Auburndale neighborhoods and the wider Polk County region. Every project gets the same level of planning, the same quality materials, and the same attention to detail regardless of size. Call us at (407) 871-7898 to set up a free estimate.
What Makes the Lake Myrtle Area Different for Outdoor Projects
Auburndale’s growth pattern creates a mix of housing stock that you don’t always see in other parts of Polk County. You’ve got established neighborhoods with homes built in the 1970s and 80s alongside brand-new construction in gated communities. Older homes often have original concrete driveways and patios that are cracked, stained, and past their useful life. Newer homes sometimes come with builder-grade finishes that look fine at closing but don’t hold up to real use. Both situations create opportunities for paver and fencing upgrades that add real value and curb appeal.
The lots in the Lake Myrtle area tend to be moderately sized, typical of suburban Polk County development. That means projects are usually manageable in scope but still require careful planning to make the most of the available space. A 200-square-foot patio on a quarter-acre lot needs to be positioned just right to feel open rather than cramped, and the fence layout needs to account for setbacks, easements, and the location of existing structures like sheds, pools, and screen enclosures.
Soil conditions in Auburndale are consistent with the broader Central Florida region. Sandy topsoil over clay-sand mixtures means good surface drainage but a risk of settling under heavy loads if the base isn’t prepared properly. The water table in low-lying areas near the lake can be higher than expected, which affects how deep we can set fence posts and how we design drainage for paver installations. On properties close to the lakeshore, we sometimes encounter soft or saturated soil that requires extra base material or stabilization before we can begin the surface work.
The proximity to the Lake Myrtle Sports Park is worth mentioning because it affects traffic patterns and property values in the surrounding neighborhoods. Homes within walking or short driving distance of the complex see strong resale interest from families with kids in sports programs. Curb appeal matters in this market, and a fresh paver driveway or a new fence can make a meaningful difference when it comes time to sell. Even if selling isn’t on your radar right now, maintaining your property’s appearance keeps pace with the improving neighborhood around you.
Camp Margaritaville, the RV resort on Lake Myrtle, has also raised the profile of the area and brought a steady stream of visitors. The development reinforces Auburndale’s identity as a desirable place to live and visit, and it pushes surrounding homeowners to keep their properties looking good. A property with a worn-out concrete driveway and a leaning chain-link fence stands out for the wrong reasons when the neighborhood around it is stepping up.
Paver Installations That Upgrade Lake Myrtle Homes Inside and Out
Brick paver driveways are the most visible upgrade you can make to the front of your home. They replace faded, cracked concrete with a surface that has depth, color, and texture. In the Lake Myrtle area, we install driveways using interlocking concrete pavers in a herringbone or running bond pattern, both of which distribute vehicle weight effectively and resist the shifting that can happen in sandy Florida soil. The color palette ranges from warm earth tones to cool grays and charcoals, and we often use a contrasting border color to frame the driveway and give it a polished, intentional look.
Driveway extensions and parking pads are a practical addition for homes where street parking is limited or where the original driveway is too narrow for two vehicles. We match the extension to the existing driveway material and pattern, or, if you’re replacing the whole driveway anyway, we design the extension as part of the overall layout. This is common in older Lake Myrtle neighborhoods where driveways were built for single-car households and don’t accommodate the way families live today.
Patios are where Lake Myrtle homeowners spend most of their outdoor time, and the paver options are broad enough to fit any style and budget. Standard concrete pavers in a tumbled finish give you a classic, slightly aged look that works well with Florida landscaping. Smooth-faced pavers create a more contemporary feel. Travertine brings natural stone elegance with the added benefit of staying cooler underfoot, which matters when the surface sits in full sun next to the pool. We help you weigh the aesthetic and practical differences so you’re choosing the right material for how you actually use the space.
Walkways connect everything. A paver path from the driveway to the front door sets the tone for guests before they even step inside. Backyard walkways that link the patio to the pool, the garden, or a side gate keep traffic patterns defined and prevent worn paths through the grass. On Lake Myrtle properties where the yard slopes toward the water, a stepped paver walkway with retaining wall sections can handle the grade change while giving you safe, stable footing all the way to the shoreline.
Retaining walls built with interlocking block or natural stone address elevation changes and erosion on sloped lots. They also create flat terraces that expand usable yard space on properties where the grade drops off toward the lake. A retaining wall topped with a cap stone can double as bench seating around a fire pit or along the edge of a patio, giving you functionality without adding separate furniture.
Pool deck resurfacing is a project we handle frequently in the Lake Myrtle area. Many homes built in the 1990s and 2000s have poured concrete pool decks that are now showing their age with cracks, discoloration, and rough spots. Overlaying pavers on an existing concrete pool deck refreshes the look and improves safety with slip-resistant textures. If the existing concrete is in poor condition, we remove it and install a full paver system from the base up. Either way, the result is a pool area that looks and feels like it belongs to a much newer home.
Outdoor kitchen pads are a growing request from Lake Myrtle homeowners who want to cook and entertain outside without sacrificing the convenience of a real kitchen setup. We build the paver pad to support a built-in grill, countertop, and storage cabinetry. The pad sits slightly elevated from the surrounding grade to manage drainage, and we use thick pavers or reinforced base systems to handle the concentrated weight of stone or concrete countertops. Gas line and electrical connections are coordinated with licensed subcontractors so everything is up to code and ready to use when we hand the space over to you.
Sealing is the final step on every paver installation and one that homeowners sometimes underestimate in importance. A quality paver sealer locks the polymeric sand into the joints, prevents weed germination between pavers, enhances the color of the surface, and provides a barrier against oil stains and tire marks on driveways. We apply sealer after the pavers have been in place for at least 24 hours and after the polymeric sand has fully activated. The sealer needs reapplication every two to four years, and we offer maintenance packages for homeowners who want us to handle it on schedule so they don’t have to think about it.
Fence Types and Styles That Fit the Lake Myrtle Neighborhood
The right fence for your Lake Myrtle property depends on what you need it to do. Privacy, pet containment, pool safety, property definition, and aesthetic appeal are all valid reasons to install a fence, and the best material and style for each reason can be different. We work through those priorities with you during the estimate visit and recommend options that balance function, appearance, and budget.
Vinyl privacy fencing is the top seller in Auburndale and the Lake Myrtle area. A six-foot white or almond vinyl fence blocks sightlines from neighbors and passing traffic, reduces noise, and creates a defined outdoor room that feels private and enclosed. The material is impervious to moisture, insects, and UV degradation. It won’t crack, splinter, or need painting. A power wash once or twice a year is all it takes to keep vinyl fencing looking new. For families with kids and pets, vinyl privacy fencing creates a safe, contained backyard that gives everyone room to play without worry.
Aluminum fencing serves a different purpose. Its open picket design provides a boundary and meets pool safety codes without blocking views or airflow. In the Lake Myrtle area, aluminum fencing is the most common choice for the lakeside boundary of waterfront lots and for pool enclosure perimeters where a screen enclosure isn’t in the budget. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion, which is essential in Florida’s humid climate. Black is the most popular color because it recedes visually and lets the landscape beyond the fence take center stage.
Wood fencing brings a warm, traditional look that some Lake Myrtle homeowners prefer over the uniformity of vinyl. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable wood option and performs well in Florida as long as it’s sealed or stained within the first year. Cedar costs more but naturally resists rot and insects without chemical treatment. We build wood fences in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles depending on the homeowner’s preference and the neighborhood’s character. Board-on-board construction prevents gaps between boards, maintaining privacy even as the wood expands and contracts with temperature and humidity changes.
PVC fencing splits the difference between vinyl and wood. It offers the low-maintenance properties of vinyl with surface textures that mimic real wood grain. For homeowners who like the look of a cedar or cypress fence but don’t want the upkeep, PVC delivers that aesthetic without the staining, sealing, and replacement schedule that real wood demands.
Chain-link fencing is still a practical option for rear property lines and utility areas where aesthetics take a back seat to affordability and function. We install vinyl-coated chain link in black or green that blends into landscaping better than bare galvanized steel. Adding privacy slats or screening to chain link gives you some visual coverage at a fraction of the cost of a full privacy fence. For pet runs and side yards that don’t face the street, chain link with a vinyl coating is a budget-friendly solution that gets the job done.
Gates are an integral part of every fence installation. Single walk gates provide access to side yards and pool areas. Double gates allow equipment, trailers, or vehicles to pass through. We build gates using the same material as the adjoining fence and install heavy-duty hinges and latches that hold up under daily use. Self-closing gate hardware is required for pool-area gates in Polk County, and we install it as standard on any gate that opens to a pool or spa area.
Fence post depth and spacing determine whether your fence stays upright through Florida’s storm season or starts leaning after the first heavy wind event. We set posts in concrete to a minimum depth of 24 inches, and we bring that closer to 30 inches for gate posts and corner posts that bear additional lateral stress. Post spacing is typically six to eight feet depending on the fence style and the expected wind exposure. Properties closer to the lake or on open lots with minimal tree cover get tighter post spacing because there’s less natural windbreak. These details don’t show once the fence is finished, but they’re the difference between a fence that lasts 20 years and one that needs repair after two.
HOA considerations apply to some of the newer Lake Myrtle area communities. Gated developments and planned communities often have deed restrictions that dictate fence styles, colors, materials, and maximum heights. Before we start any fencing project in an HOA-governed neighborhood, we ask to see the community guidelines so the fence we install meets their requirements from day one. Dealing with an HOA violation after the fence is already up costs time and money, so we’d rather get it right before a single post goes into the ground.
Artificial Turf and Yard Upgrades for Lake Myrtle Homeowners
Artificial turf has caught on quickly in Auburndale, and Lake Myrtle homeowners are leading the way. The appeal is simple. Florida grass is high-maintenance. St. Augustine needs weekly mowing from March through November, fertilizer four to six times per year, irrigation every other day during dry stretches, and treatment for chinch bugs, sod webworms, and brown patch fungus that thrive in the warm, wet climate. All of that costs money and takes time. Artificial turf eliminates every one of those tasks while giving you a lawn that stays green, even, and clean all year long.
We install turf products from leading manufacturers that use multi-toned blade technology to replicate the look of natural grass. The fibers are UV-stabilized to resist fading under Florida’s intense sun, and the backing material allows water to drain through at rates that exceed natural turf. That drainage capacity is especially relevant for Lake Myrtle properties where stormwater management is a consideration. Our installations include a compacted aggregate base and weed barrier fabric that prevents growth from below, so your turf stays flat and clean year after year.
Front yard turf installations create instant curb appeal. No more brown patches in January, no more bare spots under shade trees, and no more edges that creep into the flower beds between trimmings. The uniform look of quality artificial turf makes a property stand out on the street, and it maintains that look in every season without any input from you. Several Lake Myrtle homeowners have told us their neighbors started asking about turf within weeks of seeing the finished installation.
Backyard turf transforms the living space behind your home. Kids can play on a consistent, cushioned surface without tracking mud inside. You can set up outdoor furniture on turf without worrying about it killing the grass underneath or sinking into soft soil. And when combined with a paver patio and a good fence, the backyard becomes a true outdoor room that you’ll use more than you’d ever use a high-maintenance natural lawn.
Pet areas with artificial turf are one of our most requested installations. Dogs wearing paths in the grass, digging holes, and creating muddy messes are problems that every dog owner in Florida knows too well. Our pet turf systems include antimicrobial infill that controls bacteria and odor, and the surface is easy to clean with a hose. The turf stands up to heavy use and stays intact even with large, active dogs running and playing on it daily.
Playground areas are another application where artificial turf shines. If you have a swing set, trampoline, or play structure in the backyard, artificial turf provides a softer landing surface than bare ground and a cleaner one than mulch or pea gravel. The cushioned infill absorbs impact, and the surface doesn’t develop the ruts and holes that form under swings and at the base of slides when kids play on natural grass or dirt.
We also install putting greens for Lake Myrtle homeowners who want to sharpen their golf game at home. These installations use specialty short-pile turf engineered to roll like a real green. We sculpt the subgrade to create undulations and breaks that simulate real putting conditions, and the result is a practice area that you can use every day without driving to a course or paying a greens fee.
Side yard conversions are a practical turf application that Lake Myrtle homeowners often overlook. That narrow strip of grass between the house and the fence line is usually the hardest part of the yard to maintain. Mowers barely fit, the area gets minimal sun and poor air circulation, and the grass stays damp longer than anywhere else on the property. That combination leads to fungus, bare spots, and a section of the yard that never looks as good as the rest. Replacing it with artificial turf solves all of those problems. The space stays green and neat without any of the maintenance headaches, and it gives you a clean path for foot traffic between the front and back yards.
Turf installation around trees requires careful planning. Mature trees on Lake Myrtle properties create shade that kills natural grass, and their root systems make mowing difficult and uneven. Artificial turf can be cut and fit around tree trunks and root flares so the surface stays flat and clean right up to the base of the tree. We leave a small gap around the trunk for airflow and growth, and the turf edge is secured so it won’t pull back or curl over time. The result is a yard that looks manicured around every tree without the brown patches, exposed roots, and uneven mowing lines that plague natural grass in shaded areas.
How KS Solutions Runs a Project in the Lake Myrtle Area
We’ve refined our process over hundreds of installations to be straightforward and predictable. Here’s what a typical project looks like from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
Step one is the free estimate. You contact us by phone at (407) 871-7898 or through our website, and we schedule a visit to your Lake Myrtle property. During this visit, we measure the project area, discuss your goals and preferences, review material options, and take note of any site conditions that could affect the work. This visit usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, and there’s no cost or commitment involved.
Step two is the proposal. Within a few days of the site visit, we send you a detailed written estimate that breaks down material costs, labor, and any applicable permit fees. The proposal includes the specific paver, fence, or turf products we recommend, along with alternatives at different price points. We want you to understand exactly what you’re paying for and why, so we’re always available to answer questions or walk through the numbers.
Step three is scheduling. Once you approve the proposal and pay the deposit, we order materials and add your project to our calendar. Lead times for pavers and fencing materials vary depending on the product, but most orders arrive within one to two weeks. We confirm the start date with you in advance so you can prepare the property and plan around the work.
Step four is installation. Our crew arrives on the scheduled day with all materials and equipment ready to go. For paver projects, we start with excavation and base preparation, which often takes the first full day. Paver placement follows over the next one to three days depending on the size of the area. Fence installations begin with post setting, followed by panel and rail installation once the concrete has cured. Artificial turf goes down after base preparation and compaction. Each phase moves in a logical order, and we keep you updated on progress throughout.
Step five is cleanup and walkthrough. When the installation is complete, we clean the site thoroughly. That means hauling away debris, sweeping excess sand, removing equipment, and leaving your property looking better than when we started. We then walk the finished project with you, point out key details, answer any questions about maintenance, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we wrap up.
Our one-year labor warranty covers any workmanship issues that arise after installation. If pavers settle, if a fence post leans, or if turf develops wrinkles or drainage problems due to something we did wrong, we come back and fix it at our expense. Material warranties from manufacturers extend well beyond that, and we provide you with all warranty documentation for your records.
We treat every property in the Lake Myrtle area as if it were our own. That means clean cuts, level surfaces, plumb posts, and finished edges that look professional from every angle. It also means honest communication about what things cost, how long they’ll take, and what you can realistically expect from the finished product. No overpromising, no shortcuts, and no surprises.
