Bogalusa, in Washington Parish, was built around the Great Southern Lumber Company sawmill, then the largest in the world. By 1938 the mill had clear cut the virgin longleaf pine within hundreds of miles of town. Great Southern was also the first company here to introduce reforestation, and the pine grew back. That history shapes land clearing in Bogalusa, where a tract often hides old stumps under brush and young pine.
Bogalusa is about 29 miles up LA 21 from our base in Covington, through Bush and Sun. W2 Commercial Construction holds LA State Lic# 78829, is fully insured and has over 20 years on Northshore ground. Around Bogalusa we handle clearing and site prep for homesites, acreage, farms and commercial lots. We also build dirt pads for builders and other contractors, and estimates are free.
Wooded land near Bogalusa tends to be standing pine or a cutover tract that has grown back thick. Either way, our excavators and dozer take out the stumps, roots and all, before any pad goes down. On ground you want to keep wooded, forestry mulching grinds the underbrush in place. Where a house or shop is going, we clear to bare dirt and grade the site to shed water.
Washington Parish split off from St. Tammany in 1819, and St. Tammany permit rules stop at the parish line. Inside Bogalusa city limits, check with the City of Bogalusa; outside them, the Washington Parish Development Ordinance applies. Under that ordinance, clearing for a major subdivision waits until its construction and engineering plans are approved. A licensed engineer prepares the engineering plans, and we clear and grade to them once approved.
After clearing, we build house pads with fill dirt by the truckload, compacted and graded for the slab. Check your flood zone before the first load arrives. Outside city limits, parish rules bar fill material on a building site in an AE Floodway. Once the pad is set, we can pour the concrete slab on top.
Every homesite needs a way in: we build gravel and limestone driveways with the driveway culvert at the road ditch. A new drive onto LA 21 or LA 10, both state highways, needs DOTD approval before work starts, and on a parish road outside city limits, check with the parish before the culvert goes in. We also handle yard drainage on lots where rainwater stands.
