Concrete Contractor services in St. Amant
Ask anyone in St. Amant about August 2016 and you will hear how high the water came. This unincorporated community lies in the low eastern part of Ascension Parish, laced with bayous that back up when the Amite River is high. That history shapes every concrete job. Many houses were raised or rebuilt afterward, which left driveways, steps and walks that no longer meet the house at the right height. Owners here ask us for ramps up to raised garages, pads under elevated homes, and boat and camper parking. The soil is heavy, wet clay that holds water near the surface, so a base has to be built up and compacted before anything is poured. Lots are large and often reached by a long drive over a ditch culvert. In St. Amant we plan slab height and fill with the parish drainage rules in front of us.

Permits and local rules
St. Amant is unincorporated, so Ascension Parish issues the permits. The parish drainage rules (Appendix V of its development code) deal with fill, and a parish notice says fill placed on a lot, 36 inches at most, needs a compaction test and a mitigation report from a Louisiana engineer. We confirm what applies to your lot.
