D'Iberville homes and ground, as we see them
D'Iberville sits on the banks of Back Bay, across the water from Biloxi and right next to Saint Martin. Most of our calls here come from homeowners with a driveway that's sunk at the edges, a patio that holds water, or a new house or addition that needs a slab. The city has a busy commercial side too, with the shopping at The Promenade and the Scarlet Pearl casino and hotel, so small business owners call us about parking areas, walks and entries.
Lots near the bay tend to sit low and stay damp for days after a hard rain. That ground shapes nearly every job we do here, starting with how deep we dig before anything gets poured.
Concrete work we do on D'Iberville properties
Concrete driveway building
Driveways here sit on ground that stays soft after a hard rain, so we dig out and pack the base and slope the slab away from the house.
Concrete patio construction
A patio gives you a dry spot out back on a lot that puddles, as long as it falls away from the house toward somewhere water can go.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gives a patio or walk the look of stone or brick, and we still build the base first, because the pattern can't hide settling underneath.
Concrete sidewalk building
A new walk replaces sunken, uneven sections between your driveway and door, and on commercial lots it gets customers from the parking area to the entrance.
Garage floor concrete
A garage floor takes tire weight and water tracked in off wet roads, so we pour it thick enough for your vehicles and slope it toward the door.
Decorative concrete
Color, exposed gravel or scored lines dress up an entry or front patio, and we talk through the upkeep each one needs before you choose.
Concrete retaining walls
On a lot that drops toward a ditch or the water, a concrete retaining wall holds the soil back and gives you a level yard you can use.
Concrete floor installation
We pour interior floors for additions, shops and storage buildings, with a vapor barrier under the slab so moisture from damp ground stays out of the room.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck needs a finish that grips wet feet, and cuts placed so the cracks concrete makes as it shrinks land where we chose.
Concrete steps construction
Raised homes and front porches here often need concrete steps, and we form every rise the same height so nobody catches a toe on the way in.
Slab foundation building
A slab foundation for a new home or addition starts with packed fill and rebar, steel that ties the slab together, because your house rests on it.
Foundation installation
We build foundations for new homes and additions from the dig to the pour, laid out to the plans your builder or designer is working from.
Concrete parking lot building
For shops, offices and churches, we build parking lots heavier where delivery trucks turn and slope them so rain runs to drains, not toward the doors.
Concrete footings
Footings carry a porch, an addition or a raised house down to firm soil, so we dig them to the depth and width the plans call for.
Foundation raising
When you're raising a house to get it higher off the ground, we pour the new footings and foundation it'll sit on once it's up.
Concrete cutting
We saw-cut concrete to open a slab for plumbing, widen a driveway or take out a broken section, leaving a straight, clean edge to pour against.

Permits, licenses and pricing for D'Iberville concrete work
In D'Iberville, the city's Building Director issues the Development Permit for improvements to a property and for site work like grading or filling, while normal maintenance and repairs don't need one. We check with the city before we set a pour date, because the permit side has to be settled first, and we walk you through the paperwork so you know who's handling each piece. Only contractors licensed under state and local law can get a permit here, so check any contractor's license with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors and ask whether they hold the city's privilege license, its business license. We're fully licensed and insured.
Price moves with the size of the area, how thick the slab needs to be for what sits on it, how much digging and base the ground needs, how close the truck can get, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit, the weather and curing, the wait while concrete hardens before you use it. You'll get your own number from the estimate after I've walked the spot with you, and we work the same way over in Gulf Park Estates and the other cities around Gautier.
Why D'Iberville slabs sink, crack and hold water
Most of the sinking and cracking we see here starts under the concrete. The subgrade, the soil a slab sits on, stays soft and wet on low lots, and when it's only raked level before the pour, the slab settles right along with the dirt. We dig out the soft ground, bring in base and pack it, add rebar where the weight calls for it, and cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the concrete a place to crack where we choose before it picks its own spot. Nobody sees that work once we leave, and it's the first thing people want to cut from a budget, but I'd give up a fancier finish before I'd skimp on the base.
Hurricane season runs June through November, and the city asks residents to be ready, so a slab here has to shed a lot of water. We check where the water runs before we set forms, slope the concrete away from your house, pour early on hot days so the top doesn't dry out weak and dusty, and give outdoor work a broom finish, a light texture that grips when it's wet.
What happens when you call us about a D'Iberville job
Here's how a job runs from your first call to the day you can use the new concrete, and who you'll be dealing with along the way.
Call us and set a visit
Call (228) 263-3738 or send the form, and we'll find a time for me to come out. It helps if you're there so you can show me how you plan to use the space.
Walk the spot together
I look, measure and lay out your choices in plain words, so you know what each one does to the price before anything goes on paper. For flood zone and permit questions, I'll point you to the city or county office before we set a date.
Prep, pour and finish
My crew of finishers and laborers and I dig out and pack the base, set the forms, pour and finish. I'm on site with them most days, so you've got one person to ask.
Walk through curing care
When we're done, I walk you through caring for the slab while it cures, including when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for your car. Then we clean up and you've got your space back.
Questions about concrete work in D'Iberville
What happens if concrete work starts in D'Iberville before the permit is issued?
Under an earlier amended city ordinance, starting work on buildings and structures before the needed permits was a misdemeanor. That ordinance also let the city take other action, such as a penalty equal to the original permit fee. That's why we settle the permit question with the city before the truck is ever scheduled.
How can I tell if a concrete contractor in D'Iberville is licensed?
Ask for their state license number and check it with the state board, then look for a license sign once a permitted job starts. Under state board rules, a licensed residential builder or remodeler working under a local building permit has to post a sign at the job showing the license or certificate number and the state that issued it. A permitted home job with no sign is worth asking about.
What building codes apply to a new slab or foundation in D'Iberville?
The city announced that its building codes changed to newer editions on October 1, 2026, so that's what new work is built to now. The city's Building Department says its codes give set ways of building to resist wind up to 160 miles per hour in a three-second gust, which matters for how a house ties into its foundation. We check what your plans need with the city before we form anything.
How do I build a slab on a lot in a D'Iberville flood hazard area?
The property owner submits three elevation certificates, one with the permit application, one before the floor slab is poured, and one after construction and before a certificate of occupancy. The city's plan rules also set the floor at least 2 feet above the base flood elevation, the flood height set for your lot, and in the Longwood Subdivision the finished floor has to sit at least 25 feet above mean sea level. We plan the pour around that second certificate, and the city takes flood risk questions at vwatkins@diberville.ms.us.
How do I keep water from my new driveway running into my neighbor's yard in D'Iberville?
Plan the slope before the pour, because the city says surface water can't be sent onto adjacent properties, and site plans show the drainage. We check where water runs on your lot and slope the concrete toward the street, a ditch or your own yard and away from the house. I'll show you where it's headed when I'm out to look.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in D'Iberville?
Your price comes from what your lot needs, and here the biggest swings are how much soft ground has to come out and be replaced with packed base, and how much grading it takes to move water away. A lot in a flood hazard area can add paperwork steps before the pour, and a longer or wider drive means more concrete. I'll walk the spot with you and put your own number on paper.
