Concrete Contractor in Broussard, Louisiana
Broussard has grown fast along the Highway 90 corridor, and a lot of that growth is new homes and new commercial space. We work with builders here on footings and slabs for new construction, and with homeowners on driveways and patios. On newer lots the fill dirt has not always settled, so we pay close attention to compacting the base before we pour. That is the difference between a slab that stays flat and one that cracks in its first year. Broussard is a short drive from our Cameron Street shop in Lafayette.
New construction and growth in Broussard
Broussard has grown fast along the Highway 90 corridor, and a lot of that growth is new homes and new commercial space. We pour footings and slabs for builders putting up new houses and buildings, and driveways and patios for homeowners settling into the new subdivisions. Commercial work along the corridor, parking and flatwork for new businesses, is steady here too.
Why base prep matters more on new lots
A lot of Broussard's growth sits on recently developed land, which means fill dirt that has not fully settled. Pour a slab on fill that is still moving and it will crack and settle no matter how good the finish looks. We pay close attention to compacting the base and setting the grade for drainage before we pour, so the concrete holds as the ground around it settles. Broussard is a short drive from our Lafayette shop, so scheduling is easy.
Pouring along the Highway 90 corridor
A lot of Broussard's growth runs along the US 90 corridor, where new commercial space goes up next to new neighborhoods. Commercial pours here, parking, approaches, and loading areas, get built to spec with the jointing and thickness the traffic calls for, and we plan access so a working site keeps moving. One thing worth knowing locally: Broussard sits across both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, so depending on exactly where your property falls, the permitting office can differ. We sort out which jurisdiction your job is in and pull permits from the right one so nothing stalls.
