In Denham Springs, regrading for drainage and raised pads is a recurring theme on lots that took high water.
On the Gulf Coast, water tables, fill history, and tight setbacks change how we stage equipment and move spoils. We plan haul routes, protect trees you want to keep, and keep neighbors happy with a clean job box.

Residential pads, commercial pads, parking expansions, and yard re-slopes all get the same discipline: check moisture, check compaction, check finish tolerance before we call it done.

We confirm finish elevations, drainage targets, and any utility locates before we cut.

We hired Josh and Earthworks Solutions for a couple of projects at our home and came away impressed. Josh took the time to explain the difference between what we wanted and what we actually needed, then delivered beyond our expectations. He and his team were respectful of our time and our home throughout. Josh's knowledge of landscaping and horticulture is deep, and he's genuinely great to work with.
Earthworks Solutions has handled several projects for me over the past couple of years. The work is done right every time. Josh's attention to detail is unmatched, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is fully satisfied. If you're considering Earthworks Solutions, you won't be disappointed.
Josh has handled several projects for us. He built a rock road in our backyard for our boat, and we didn't have to think twice about it. He handled everything from start to finish and the work was excellent. We also had a swimming pool removed, which left our backyard a mess. Josh brought in dirt, regraded the area, and it looks amazing now. We liked his work so much we had him put in a brand new lawn for my mother, including scraping out the old lawn, laying new sod, and installing an irrigation system. Her lawn looks incredible. Josh is efficient, professional, and fairly priced.
