What to know about pouring in Alachua

Gainesville sits on karst - sinkholes and solution features are part of the landscape (Paynes Prairie, Devil's Millhopper). Uplands drain well; the prairie basins stay wet. For structural work follow your engineer's geotechnical guidance; for flatwork standard compaction applies.

North-central location gives a long season; watch summer storms (Jun-Sep) and occasional Dec-Feb freezes that call for cold-weather protection.

Mostly inland; localized AE zones around Paynes Prairie, area sinks and the Santa Fe River.
