Build on Ground That Supports Your Project

When you are developing a commercial property in Carencro, the site needs to be graded, drained, and compacted to handle the weight of buildings, parking areas, and equipment before any construction begins. Stelly's Dirt Service provides large-scale grading, excavation, and dirt work for commercial and industrial projects, including concrete pad preparation, drainage planning, and access road shaping. If your site has uneven terrain, poor drainage, or soil that needs to be stabilized before building, this work corrects those issues so your project stays on schedule.

Commercial site development includes clearing and grading large parcels, excavating for foundations or utility lines, constructing concrete pads for buildings or equipment, and shaping drainage systems to manage stormwater runoff. In Carencro, many commercial sites are located in areas with clay-heavy soil and flat terrain that requires careful grading to prevent water from pooling near structures or access roads. This service is used for retail centers, industrial facilities, warehouses, office buildings, and infrastructure projects throughout Acadiana.

If you are planning a commercial project in Carencro, contact Stelly's Dirt Service to schedule a site consultation and review your development needs.

The process begins with surveying the site and marking areas for grading, excavation, or pad construction based on your project plans. Stelly's Dirt Service uses dozers, excavators, and graders to move large volumes of dirt, cut down high spots, and fill in low areas until the site meets the required elevation and slope. In Carencro, drainage systems are shaped to direct water toward retention ponds, culverts, or storm drains so it does not interfere with buildings, parking lots, or loading areas.

After the work is completed, you will see a level, compacted surface that supports heavy construction equipment, concrete trucks, and structural loads without settling or shifting. Water will drain off the site in the direction planned, which prevents flooding, erosion, and mud buildup during construction. You will also notice that access roads and driveways are graded to allow trucks and machinery to move on and off the property without getting stuck or damaging the surface.

This service does not include utility installation or structural work, but it does create the stable foundation those steps require. The timeline depends on the size of the parcel, soil conditions, and how much excavation or grading is needed to meet project specifications.
