Shreveport, LA Land Clearing & Site Development Services

Shreveport sits where the Red River bends through the Ark-La-Tex region, and the terrain reflects it — a mix of riverside flatland along Cross Lake and Twelve Mile Bayou, and a hillier, clay-soiled drainage basin running through the city’s central and northern sections. Cypress-lined Cross Lake, the city’s 8,575-acre drinking-water reservoir, anchors the west side of town, while newer growth is pushing south along I-49 and Flournoy-Lucas Road.

That mix of terrain shapes the work. Clay-heavy soil in the older drainage basin means yards and job sites need real grading and drainage planning, not guesswork, while the wooded lots opening up near North Market Street and the Camp Forbing corridor need proper land clearing before a house pad ever gets touched. Development moving into areas like Red Oak Pointe and Lucien Field Estates near I-49 is driving steady demand for site work ahead of new construction.

Double R Services is based just outside the city in Mooringsport and has worked Caddo Parish land since 2021 — everything from clearing wooded residential lots to grading house pads for developers building along the city’s growing south side.

Our Services in Shreveport, LA

Everything on this list is available throughout Shreveport and the surrounding Caddo Parish service area. Whether it’s a wooded residential lot near Cross Lake or a house pad for a new development off I-49, Double R Services handles the full job from clearing to final grade.

Land Clearing in Shreveport, LA

Wooded residential lots around Shreveport’s growth corridors — from North Market Street to the acreage opening up near I-49 — regularly need clearing before a build can start. Double R Services clears brush, underbrush, and trees while keeping the specific trees a landowner wants to save, then hauls or mulches the debris on site.

Services include:

  • Wooded lot clearing for new construction
  • Underbrush & brush removal
  • Right-of-way clearing
  • Property clearing for development

Forestry Mulching in Shreveport, LA

For rural and semi-rural acreage on the outskirts of Shreveport, near Cross Lake and toward the Blanchard line, mulching clears overgrowth without the burn piles or hauling that come with traditional clearing. It’s a fast way to open pasture, trails, or a future building site.

Services include:

  • Underbrush mulching
  • Selective mulching around trees you want to keep
  • Right-of-way & fence line mulching
  • Storm and post-clearing debris mulching

Site Prep & House Pads in Shreveport, LA

  • House pad grading & compaction
  • Site preparation for new construction
  • Building pad construction for developers
  • Lot prep from raw acreage to build-ready

Excavation & Dirt Work in Shreveport, LA

Shreveport’s clay-heavy soil, especially through the central and northern drainage basin, makes proper excavation more than just digging a hole. Double R Services handles foundation trenches, driveway excavation, and general dirt work with equipment sized for the job and soil in front of it.

Services include:

  • Foundation & trench excavation
  • Grading & dirt work
  • Driveway excavation
  • Residential & rural commercial excavation

Driveways in Shreveport, LA

Out past the city’s edge toward Mooringsport and North Caddo, gravel is still the standard for long rural driveways. Double R Services installs new gravel driveways and regrades existing ones, tying in culverts where standing water is an issue.

  • New gravel driveway installation
  • Regraveling & regrading existing driveways
  • Driveway extensions

Drainage in Shreveport, LA

The low-lying drainage basin through central and northern Shreveport ponds fast in a hard rain, and older neighborhoods weren’t always graded to handle it. Double R Services installs French drains and regrades yards so water has somewhere to go instead of sitting against a foundation.

Services include:

  • French drain installation
  • Yard regrading for drainage
  • Dry creek beds
  • Custom backyard drainage solutions

Services include:

  • Residential structure demolition
  • Shed & outbuilding removal
  • Demolition debris cleanup & haul-off
  • Selective demolition

  • Pond dredging & cleanout
  • Farm & recreational ponds

Local Expertise in Shreveport — We Know This Area

Shreveport’s ground isn’t uniform, and treating it like it is causes problems down the road. The Red River floodplain and the Cross Lake watershed bring sandier, wetter soil near the water, while the drainage basin running through the city’s central and northern sections sits on heavier clay that holds water and resists compaction. Twelve Mile Bayou threads through the middle of it, and anywhere near it needs extra attention to grading before a house pad or driveway goes in.

Our crew works Shreveport by way of I-49, I-20, and I-220, running jobs from the growth corridors along Flournoy-Lucas Road and North Market Street to established neighborhoods like Broadmoor and South Highlands, and out to the newer subdivisions — Red Oak Pointe, Lucien Field Estates, Twelve Oaks — filling in fast near I-49 and the Port of Caddo Bossier.

Most of our Shreveport work falls into two buckets: clearing and grading house pads for developers building in the I-49 corridor near Camp Forbing, and rural site work — driveways, drainage, ponds — for landowners further out toward Mooringsport and Cross Lake. Both call for different equipment and a different read on the ground.

The City of Shreveport’s Flood Control Section actively reviews new development for drainage compliance, and areas near the Red River and Cross Lake carry floodplain considerations that affect how a site can be graded. Spring and early summer bring the heaviest rain, which we build into scheduling so grading and drainage work isn’t fighting standing water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does land clearing cost per acre near Shreveport, LA?
Cost depends on how dense the vegetation is, how much of it needs to be hauled off versus mulched, and how accessible the lot is. Wooded lots near Shreveport’s growth corridors tend to run differently than open pasture further out. Double R Services provides a free, no-obligation estimate after walking the property so you get an accurate number, not a guess.
French drain cost depends on the length of the run, the depth needed, and where the water needs to go. Shreveport’s clay-heavy drainage basin often needs a more deliberate layout than sandier ground elsewhere. We’ll walk the yard, look at where water is pooling, and give a free estimate before any work starts.
Excavation pricing depends on soil type, depth, and whether it’s a foundation trench, a full pad, or general dirt work. Shreveport’s clay soils sometimes require more careful grading than sandier soil types. Free estimates are available for any excavation job in the Shreveport area.
Yes — Double R Services is based just outside Shreveport in Mooringsport and has worked Caddo Parish land since 2021. We’re a small, owner-operated crew, not a national chain, so the person who gives the estimate is the person running the equipment.
Yes. We regularly clear wooded lots and rural acreage near Cross Lake and Twelve Mile Bayou. Because that area feeds the city’s drinking water reservoir, we’re careful about erosion control and debris handling near the shoreline, and we can talk through any specific concerns during the free estimate.
Yes — those two corridors are some of the most active growth areas we work in around Shreveport, from house pads for new development along Flournoy-Lucas Road to lot clearing near North Market Street. If your property is along either corridor, we already know the terrain.
