Drainage Contractor in Stonewall, LA
Stonewall is a north DeSoto Parish town on U.S. 171, about six miles from Shreveport, with I-49 a mile and a half to the east. Its population grew from 1,814 in 2010 to 2,273 in 2020, and much of that growth is new houses on freshly graded lots, which is where many drainage problems start.

New construction and settling ground
When a lot is cut and filled for a new house, the soil keeps settling for a few years. Beds get mulched up against the walls, sod is laid a little high, and water that once ran away from the slab starts running toward it.
On older Stonewall properties the issues are more familiar: gutters that empty at the corners, a driveway that tips toward the garage, a back yard that holds water by the fence line.
Stonewall drainage work
- Correcting grade around newer homes where fill has settled.
- Buried downspout lines that carry roof water to the street or a ditch.
- French drains on sloped lots where water runs at the house.
- Garage and driveway drains where the concrete falls the wrong way.

Stonewall drainage questions
My house is only a couple of years old. Is the builder's grade still good?
Settling is common in the first few years, so it is worth checking. If water stands within a few feet of the foundation after rain, the grade there has probably slipped.
