Broussard summers run long and hot, and most homeowners here want usable outdoor space from spring through fall. We pour patios with the slope and drainage built in from the start, so you do not end up with standing water after every afternoon storm. See our full concrete patio construction options to find the right fit for your yard.
Most homes in Broussard were built in the 1990s through the 2010s, which means driveways in this city are entering the years when cracking and surface wear become real issues. Clay soil movement is the main driver, and we address it at the base preparation stage before a single yard of concrete gets poured.
Virtually every home in Broussard sits on a concrete slab - basement construction is not practical here because the water table is too high. New additions, detached garages, and accessory structures in Broussard all need slab foundations built to handle the local soil movement that comes with the wet, clay-heavy ground.
Broussard has a high rate of owner-occupied homes and a homeowner base that takes pride in their properties. Stamped concrete gives outdoor areas a finished, custom look at a lower cost than natural stone, and it holds up well in the subtropical conditions this area sees every summer.
Backyard pools are common in Broussard given the climate, and a pool deck in south Louisiana needs a sealer that can handle UV exposure, humidity, and heavy foot traffic. We apply finishes that stay slip-resistant when wet and seal them with products rated for this climate.
Broussard's fast growth has brought a lot of new subdivision streets, and many older sections are seeing sidewalks that shift or crack as the clay soil beneath them moves. We build to current ADA specifications and set control joints at the right intervals to accommodate ground movement without letting it crack the walking surface.
Broussard is one of the fastest-growing cities in Louisiana, and most of that growth has happened in the last 20 to 30 years. That means a large share of the homes here are entering the window where concrete driveways, patios, and slabs start to show real wear. The cause is almost always the same: the heavy clay soil common throughout south Louisiana expands when it takes on moisture from the roughly 60 inches of annual rainfall this area receives, then contracts again during dry spells. That constant movement puts stress on concrete from below, and without proper base preparation and joint placement, cracking is inevitable. A contractor who has only worked in areas with more stable soil will not understand what that base preparation actually needs to look like here.
Broussard also sits within hurricane and tropical storm range, and a major storm can dump several inches of rain in hours rather than days. Flat subdivision lots and drainage ditches manage most of that water, but concrete poured without enough slope will hold water against your foundation rather than directing it away. The city has also grown fast enough that local permit requirements and building standards have evolved. Working with a contractor familiar with what the City of Broussard currently requires saves time and avoids re-work.
Our crew works throughout Broussard regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete work here. The housing stock in this city is predominantly single-family homes built in planned subdivisions over the last few decades - neighborhoods like Copper Mill and Camellia Place - and we have worked in those neighborhoods enough to know what the soil and drainage conditions actually look like on the ground, not just on a map.
Broussard sits just south of Lafayette along Highway 90, and most of the city was developed as the Lafayette metro area expanded southward. The commercial corridor along Highway 90 and the residential areas branching off it give the city a distinct character - suburban, family-oriented, and growing. St. Julien Park is a community anchor, and the neighborhoods around it include some of the older homes in the city. When we are working in those sections, we expect older slab edges and more tree root interference than in the newer subdivisions on the north side of town near the city limits.
We serve the surrounding communities as well. Homeowners in Lafayette call us for driveway and foundation work throughout the metro, and our crews move regularly between Broussard and Youngsville to the south, which means we know the soil and drainage patterns across this part of Lafayette Parish.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and describe what you need. We respond to all inquiries within one business day, and there is no cost or obligation for an estimate.
We come out to your property in Broussard, look at the site conditions, check the soil and drainage situation, and give you a written quote before any commitment. This is also when we flag any permit requirements so there are no surprises later.
Once you approve the quote, we schedule the work around your availability and the weather. Summer pours in Broussard are scheduled for early morning when temperatures are cooler, which reduces the risk of surface cracking during the cure.
We complete the work, clean up the site, and walk through the finished project with you before we leave. We also give you specific guidance on curing time and sealing so the concrete lasts as long as it should in south Louisiana conditions.
We serve Broussard and the surrounding Lafayette Parish area. No obligation, no pressure - just a straight answer on what your project will cost.
(337) 483-1647Broussard is a city in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, located just south of Lafayette along the Highway 90 corridor. The city carries the name of the Broussard family, one of the original Acadian families to settle in this part of south Louisiana - a heritage that remains visible in the cultural life of the broader Acadiana region. Most of Broussard's growth has happened in the last 30 years, with the population growing from around 6,000 residents at the turn of the century to over 13,000 as of the early 2020s, according to U.S. Census data. That growth has been driven almost entirely by single-family residential development, with new subdivisions filling in the land between the older sections of town.
The housing stock in Broussard is mostly newer than in the surrounding communities - most homes date from the 1990s through the 2010s, and brick veneer exteriors are common throughout the subdivisions here. The oil and gas industry provides a stable employment base for many Broussard households, which contributes to a high rate of homeownership and a homeowner base that invests in maintaining and improving their properties. Nearby Youngsville to the south has seen similarly fast growth, and the two cities share many of the same soil and drainage conditions. To the north, Lafayette is the main commercial and employment center for the region, and many Broussard residents commute there daily.
