Concrete Contractor services in Harvey
Is the slab for a house or for a business? In Harvey that is the first thing we ask, because the area has both in large numbers. The Harvey Canal corridor is lined with marine yards, shops and warehouses, where pads carry forklifts, loaded trailers and delivery trucks and need to be thicker, with heavier steel. A few blocks away are quiet streets of slab houses from the 1960s to the 1980s, plus newer subdivisions toward Lapalco Boulevard. The soil across Harvey is soft West Bank clay and organic material over a high water table. It holds water after a storm and gives way under a thin base. So a home driveway here gets a proper compacted base and steel, and a commercial pad gets designed around its heaviest load. Either way, drainage is planned before the forms are set.

Permits and local rules
Harvey is unincorporated, so Jefferson Parish is the permit authority. A new, replacement or additional driveway apron on parish right of way needs a parish driveway permit, which includes the public sidewalk. Commercial slabs and site paving go through parish commercial review, and a driveway onto a state road needs approval from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
