Scott sits west of Lafayette on low prairie ground where brick ranches and newer Acadian-style homes rest on slab foundations that move with the seasons, and where poor drainage under those slabs causes settling, cracking and uneven concrete that homeowners know costs money to ignore.
When your driveway cracks, your patio settles, or your garage floor spalls from the freeze-thaw cycle and Louisiana's wet clay subsoil, Lafayette Concrete knows Scott's terrain and your house. We have been serving Scott (70583) and the surrounding Lafayette area for years with concrete driveways, patios, leveling, repair and replacement work that holds up to our climate and our ground conditions.
Concrete in Scott (70583)
Scott's brick ranches and newer two-story homes sit on silty prairie loam over dense, poorly drained clay that shrinks and swells with summer drought and winter wet. Your slab is likely on-grade, which means it rests directly on that clay base. When heavy rain falls (we average 60 inches a year, plus summer thunderstorms and hurricane-season downpours), water pools under your slab. When the ground dries in summer heat, it shrinks and your concrete settles unevenly at control joints and along edges. Driveways crack. Patios tip. Garage floors spall. Walkways become trip hazards. The problem is not poor concrete, it is poor base compaction and drainage under the slab.
Our team knows this ground. We have lifted sunken slabs in Scott using concrete leveling and slab jacking, replaced cracked driveways, repaired spalling garage floors, and sealed concrete to slow the mildew and algae staining that thrives in our humid climate. We understand local permit requirements, work with HOAs, and coordinate with city right-of-way rules on driveways and sidewalks. We show up on time, leave your property clean, and stand behind the work.

How a Job Works in Scott
First, you call us at (337) 273-0928 or request a free on-site estimate. We visit your property, measure the concrete, inspect the grade and drainage, and look at the damage or settling. We ask about your timeline and budget. We explain what we see and what we recommend, and we give you a clear price in writing with no surprises.
Then we schedule the work. If your lot is tight (many Scott homes have narrow side driveways or limited backyard access), we plan equipment placement and staging carefully. If permits are needed for a driveway or sidewalk, we handle the paperwork and coordinate with the city. We show up with our crew, do the work right, and clean up every scrap of concrete, dust and debris. You walk the finished job with us and we explain maintenance and sealing options.
From start to finish, you know what is happening and why. That is how we work in Scott.
Concrete work in Scott runs from about $3 per square foot for repair and resurfacing of an existing slab, up to $10 per square foot for stamped or decorative finishes. A typical Scott driveway (500 to 800 square feet) costs $3,000 to $4,800 for a standard pour, or $5,000 to $8,000 if leveling or base work is needed first. A patio runs $3,000 to $5,000 depending on size and finish. Garage floors start around $2,500 for a standard 500-square-foot slab. Concrete leveling (lifting a sunken slab) costs $4 to $6 per square foot and often saves you from full replacement. Sealing runs $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot and pays for itself by slowing mildew, algae and spalling. The final price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing base, site access, and how fast you need the work done.
