Concrete Contractor services in Dutchtown
Dutchtown grew up around the crossroads of Highway 73 and Highway 74, and the high school there has pulled a steady run of new subdivisions into what used to be farmland. Most homes are recent slab houses on modest lots, built close together, with a shared swale along the back or side line. That layout sets the rules for concrete. A patio extension or a wider drive must not fill in the swale or push rain onto the lot next door, and side yards leave little room to bring material in. Many of these houses have post-tensioned slabs, so nothing should be cut or cored into the house slab without checking first. The clay here cracks open in dry spells and closes again after rain. In Dutchtown we keep new flatwork separate from the house slab and set its slope to the drainage that the subdivision was built with.

Permits and local rules
Dutchtown is part of unincorporated Ascension Parish. The parish issues building permits and handles culvert permitting for first driveways on public roads. Subdivision restrictions often control driveway width and what can be poured in a side or rear yard, and that approval is separate from the parish.
