About Carolina Forest
Garage Floors in a Master-Planned Community
Carolina Forest is the largest master-planned community near Myrtle Beach, laid out by International Paper in the late 1990s on part of an old timber tract between US 501 and International Drive. The 2020 Census counted more than 23,000 residents, and new homes are still going up.
Neighborhoods such as Plantation Lakes, Berkshire Forest, Waterbridge, Indigo Bay and Avalon are built around ponds, golf and community pools. The typical home has an attached two-car garage that also holds a golf cart, bikes and storage.
Builders usually hand over bare or lightly sealed concrete. A flake floor with a polyaspartic topcoat is one of the first upgrades many owners make, and in a planned community it has to look clean from the street when the door is open.
