Paving in Plaquemines Parish
Asphalt paving in Belle Chasse covers newer subdivisions, larger rural lots and the businesses that serve the area's base and industry. Belle Chasse is an unincorporated census-designated place on the west bank of the Mississippi, the largest community in Plaquemines Parish, at about 7 feet of elevation. It grew from 5,412 residents in 1980 to 12,679 in 2010 and had 10,579 in 2020.
Naval air station
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans moved to Belle Chasse in 1957 and hosts Navy, Air Force and Marine reserve units. Military families and contractors drive a lot of demand for housing, and new homes need driveways.
Larger lots
Compared with the dense West Bank suburbs to the north, Belle Chasse lots are often larger, with longer driveways and turnarounds. We build those with full bases, supported edges and a crown or cross slope.
Low and wet
Surrounded by water and wetlands, Belle Chasse has soft ground in many places. We probe the subgrade and use fabric and a deeper base where needed.
Katrina staging
During Hurricane Katrina, Belle Chasse served as the main helicopter staging area for rescue operations.
Permits
Belle Chasse is unincorporated, so Plaquemines Parish rules apply on parish roads, and Louisiana DOTD on state highways such as LA 23.
Costs
Longer drives mean more square footage; HomeGuide puts a 1,000-square-foot driveway at about $5,000 to $12,000 nationally. Reusing existing shell or gravel as part of the base, where it is sound, can trim the cost.
