Blanchard, LA Land Clearing & Site Development Services

Blanchard sits up on higher, hillier ground than most of Caddo Parish — pine-oak-hickory forest instead of river bottom, with Black Bayou Lake just west of town and Cross Lake within easy reach to the southeast. Louisiana Highway 173 runs through as Main Street, and LA-1 connects the town north toward Mooringsport and Oil City.

That terrain means more standing timber to deal with before a lot is build-ready. New home sites opening up around Falcon Bay off LA-1 and Old Mooringsport Road, and rural acreage further out, typically need real land clearing and forestry mulching before grading ever starts — a bigger piece of the job here than it is closer to the river in Shreveport.

Double R Services has worked land throughout Caddo Parish, including Blanchard, since 2021 — clearing wooded lots, prepping house pads, and handling the driveway and drainage work that comes with building on rural acreage.

Local Expertise in Blanchard — We Know This Area

Blanchard sits higher and hillier than most of Caddo Parish, on pine-oak-hickory forest ground instead of river bottom. Black Bayou Lake, just west of town off Blanchard-Furrh Road, feeds into the same watershed as Cross Lake to the southeast, and the wooded terrain around both means more standing timber to account for on any given lot than you’d find closer to Shreveport.

Our crew reaches Blanchard by way of LA Highway 173 through the town center and LA-1 toward Mooringsport and Oil City, working new home sites around Falcon Bay off Old Mooringsport Road as well as the established, tree-lined lots around Northwood Hills just south of town.

Most of our Blanchard work is rural residential — clearing wooded acreage for a new build, mulching overgrowth on land that’s sat unused for years, and grading house pads for the steady trickle of new construction pushing out from Shreveport along LA-1. It’s a different job than clearing flat river-bottom lots, and we plan equipment and time accordingly.

The area’s agricultural and timber-producing land use means most Blanchard properties don’t carry the same floodplain restrictions as ground closer to the Red River, but the hillier terrain calls for careful attention to where runoff goes once a lot is cleared and graded. November tends to bring the heaviest rain, which we factor into scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does land clearing cost per acre near Blanchard, LA?
Cost depends on how much standing timber is on the lot, how dense the underbrush is, and whether debris is hauled off or mulched on site. Blanchard’s wooded, hilly terrain often has more timber to deal with than flatter ground closer to Shreveport. Double R Services walks the property and gives a free, no-obligation estimate before any work starts.
Pricing depends on the length of the drain run, how deep it needs to go, and where the water is coming from. Blanchard’s hillier ground can mean more runoff to manage than flatter lots. We’ll look at the yard and provide a free estimate first.
Excavation cost depends on soil, slope, and the scope of the job — a foundation trench is a different price than a full house pad. Blanchard’s rolling terrain sometimes needs more grading than flat ground. Free estimates are available for any excavation job in the Blanchard area.
Yes — Double R Services is based just outside Blanchard in Mooringsport and has worked northern Caddo Parish land since 2021. We’re a small, owner-operated crew, so the person who gives the estimate is the person running the equipment.
Yes. We regularly clear and mulch wooded acreage around Black Bayou Lake and the surrounding pine-oak-hickory forest west of Blanchard.
