Coushatta sits on the heavy alluvial clay of the Red River bottoms, where the ground shifts with every dry spell and rainy season. Your driveway, patio, and foundation know it. We're Shreveport Concrete Pros, and we've spent years fixing the concrete problems that come with living on this unstable soil in ZIP 71019.
Homeowners and property managers in Coushatta call us when their patios have settled unevenly, their driveways have cracked at the joints, or their slabs have heaved. We know the Red River clay. We know how to build concrete that stays put, and how to fix what's already broken.
Concrete in Coushatta (71019)
Coushatta's terrain is deceptive. The Red River alluvium and upland clay beneath your property swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. A long, hot summer opens cracks in your driveway. Then fifty-plus inches of yearly rain swell the ground back, and your patio heaves. Tree roots lift old sidewalks. Slabs settle unevenly and create trip hazards. This is not a problem with your contractor. It's a problem with the ground itself, and it requires concrete work that accounts for movement.
That's why we specialize in concrete leveling and slab lifting for Coushatta homes. We also build new patios and driveways with proper drainage, base preparation, and joint placement to handle the shrink-swell cycle. Our team has served Shreveport and the surrounding area for years. We understand the local soil, the drainage patterns, the seasonal weather swings, and the lot sizes and access challenges that come with older Coushatta properties. When we build or repair your concrete, we're solving a local problem with local knowledge.

How a Job Works in Coushatta
Step one is a free on-site assessment. We come to your property, walk the area with you, and talk about what you need. We look at the grade, the drainage, the soil, and any existing damage. We ask about water pooling, cracks, or movement you've noticed. We give you a realistic estimate and timeline, and answer your questions about permits or HOA approval.
Step two is the work itself. We show up on time, set up safely, and do the job right. For driveway or patio work, we prepare the base, manage drainage, set forms, pour concrete, and finish it to spec. For leveling or slab lifting, we assess the void beneath the slab, inject material to lift it back level, and compact the base. We work around your schedule and the weather. Coushatta's spring storms and summer heat mean we're flexible with timing.
Step three is cleanup and final walkthrough. We haul off debris, sweep and rinse the area, and walk the finished work with you. You get a clean property and concrete that's ready to use.
Pricing in Coushatta depends on size, access, soil condition, and urgency. A basic concrete patio or driveway runs from six dollars per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which are common here because of the clay movement, start at four dollars per square foot. Repair and resurfacing of existing concrete starts at three dollars per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete runs from ten dollars per square foot. A rough estimate for a typical two-car driveway (about 400 square feet) would be in the range of twenty-four hundred to three thousand dollars, depending on base prep and finish. A patio runs similar rates. Concrete sealing, which we recommend for long-term protection against the wet climate, starts at seventy-five cents per square foot.
