Concrete Contractor in Scott, Louisiana

Scott sits just west of Lafayette and runs from tight residential streets to bigger rural lots. That mix means we pour everything from standard driveways to shop and shed slabs and drainage work on properties where the lot grade is half the job. On larger lots water has to be moved deliberately, or it sits and works against the slab. We set the grade and the drains so it does not. Scott is a quick run from our Cameron Street shop.

Residential and rural concrete in Scott

Scott runs from tight residential streets to larger rural lots, so the work here is a mix. We pour standard driveways and patios in the neighborhoods, and shop slabs, equipment pads, and longer drives on the bigger properties west of town. Drainage work comes up a lot here, because on a larger lot the grade and where the water goes matter as much as the pour itself.

Grade and drainage on bigger lots

On a larger property, water has to be moved on purpose or it sits and works against the slab and the foundation. We set the grade so it drains, and we install French drains, surface drains, and the slope a site needs to clear standing water after a hard rain. Done right, the drainage keeps a slab from heaving and keeps water off your buildings. Scott is a quick run from our Cameron Street shop.

Shop slabs and equipment pads on Scott's larger lots

West of Lafayette, Scott runs into bigger, more rural lots, and that brings a different kind of work. Shop slabs, equipment and trailer pads, and longer drives that have to carry real weight. These get built heavier than a backyard patio: a thicker slab, a stronger mix, thickened edges, and steel sized to the load, all over a base compacted to carry it without settling. On a larger property the drainage plan matters just as much, because there is more ground for water to collect on. We set the grade and add drains so water clears instead of pooling against the slab or the building.
