Your Sitework & Infrastructure Contractor
Southern Site Services delivers reliable commercial sitework and infrastructure across Louisiana and the surrounding Southern states. We set your project up for long-term success by handling the crucial grading, drainage, and foundation support from day one. After all, getting the sitework right is the only way to guarantee a solid foundation. Without that critical groundwork, shifting soil and pooling water will quickly trigger massive structural problems down the road. That is why our team meticulously evaluates every single project—ensuring your site is perfectly prepped, stable, and built to last.
Drainage & Foundation Stability
In Louisiana’s wet climate, drainage isn't just a line item on a blueprint—it is the most critical part of your entire foundation design. Because our local landscape is shaped by low-lying bayous and intense humidity, poor water management will rapidly saturate the soil, causing commercial foundations to shift and crack. To prevent that, Southern Site Services designs and installs heavy-duty drainage systems engineered specifically for the south. First, we map out how water naturally moves across your property. Then, we channel it safely away from your structures, protecting your investment from shifting soil and ensuring your build stands strong against Louisiana’s toughest environmental conditions.

Our Services Include:
Rock driveways
Without strategic drainage, Louisiana’s heavy downpours will quickly turn a rock driveway into a muddy, washed-out mess. To prevent this, we meticulously grade the subsurface and install proper drainage channels before laying a single stone. This keeps the gravel locked in place, prevents deep rutting, and ensures your driveway handles heavy traffic no matter how wet the season gets.
Retaining walls
In our wet climate, saturated soil creates immense hydrostatic pressure that can easily cause a retaining wall to bow or collapse. That is why we engineer dedicated gravel backfills and weep holes into every wall system to give trapped water an immediate escape route. By actively relieving that pressure, we protect the structure from shifting and ensure it holds back the earth for the long haul.
Parking lots
Massive sheets of asphalt or concrete can easily turn into standing lakes during a sudden Southern thunderstorm, threatening both customer safety and structural integrity. We design parking lot foundations with precise slopes and integrated catch basins to rapidly channel runoff away from the pavement. This aggressive water management prevents dangerous hydroplaning hazards and stops water from seeping underneath to crack the subgrade.
Sidewalks
Low-lying bayou country is notorious for shifting soil that can easily crack concrete and create dangerous tripping hazards on pedestrian paths. To combat this, we prep every sidewalk bed with a stable foundation and clear runoff routes so water never pools along the edges. This careful planning keeps the concrete level, dry, and safe for foot traffic year after year.
