Abbeville's courthouse-town cottages and brick ranches near the Vermilion River take a beating from wet ground and Louisiana humidity, and your concrete shows it. We're Lafayette Concrete, and we know exactly what settles, stains, and cracks in ZIP 70575.
Whether your walkway is sinking into soft clay, your patio is stained green with mildew, or your driveway has cracked from the shrink-swell cycle that hits every home here, our team has spent years fixing the concrete problems that are unique to Abbeville.
Concrete in Abbeville (70575)
Abbeville sits on flat coastal prairie over silty loam and dense, poorly drained clay. That clay shrinks hard in summer drought and swells when it's wet, and it doesn't drain well. Almost every home here is built slab-on-grade, which means your foundation moves with the ground. Add 60 inches of rain a year, heavy summer thunderstorms, and the occasional hurricane wind and rain (like Rita, Laura, and Delta), and you get concrete that cracks, slabs that settle unevenly at the joints, and driveways that heave or sink where the base was soft or poorly compacted.
Humidity and mildew are relentless too. Unsealed concrete near the Vermilion River, the coulees, and the bayous stains fast and stays stained. We've sealed hundreds of patios and walkways in Abbeville, and we've lifted and leveled settled slabs before they became trip hazards or worse. Our team knows the tight lot access of the older cottages near downtown, the wide driveways and backyard spaces of the newer brick and stucco Acadian-style homes, and the permit requirements the city enforces for curb cuts and right-of-way work.

How a Job Works in Abbeville
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (337) 273-0928, we come out to your property in Abbeville, and we look at the concrete, the grade, the drainage, and what caused the problem. We'll tell you what we can fix, what it'll cost, and how long it takes. No guessing, no surprises.
Once you approve, we handle the work. If you need a city permit for a driveway, sidewalk, or curb cut, we coordinate that. If your lot is tight (like many of the older homes near downtown Abbeville), we work around your space and your neighbors. We bring equipment in, do the job right, and clean up after ourselves so your yard looks better than when we started.
Final walkthrough: we show you the finished work, answer your questions, and make sure you're satisfied. We stand behind every job.
Concrete repair and sealing in Abbeville typically runs from $0.75 per square foot for sealing (the most common call we get, because mildew and humidity are constant here) to $10 per square foot for stamped or decorative work. A typical driveway or patio repair costs $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on whether we're just resurfacing, leveling settled slabs, or replacing damaged concrete. A full new driveway or patio runs $6 to $8 per square foot. Size, access, the condition of the base, and how urgently you need it done all affect the price. The best way to know what your job costs is to call us at (337) 273-0928 for a free estimate. We'll measure your concrete, assess the damage or the work you want done, and give you a real number.
