Excavation & Site Work services in Slidell
Slidell sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in St. Tammany Parish, and its ground is different from the south shore. Away from the water, the city is on older, higher terrace soil, with sandy loam over clay and tall pines. Near the lake and the bayous, such as Bayou Bonfouca and Bayou Liberty, the land is low and marshy, and neighborhoods like Eden Isles were built on fill along canals. Storm surge from Hurricane Katrina flooded much of south Slidell, and many homes there were raised. Our Slidell work includes clearing pine and brush, pads for homes and shops, drainage swales, sewer and water trenches, culverts and driveways, and septic excavation for licensed installers on rural lots outside sewer service.
