General Dirt Work

Drainage, grading, fill, demo.
General Dirt Work across Lake Charles
and the Southwest Louisiana.
Lake Charles homeowners, Calcasieu builders, and LNG-corridor contractors hire J 1:9 for general dirt work across the region: the post-storm cleanup the area has carried since Laura and Delta, site drainage, access-road grading for industrial lay-down yards, fill placement, and light demo on storm-damaged structures. Calcasieu dirt work runs as much against the hurricane calendar as the rest of our Lake Charles services.
General Dirt Work.
What it is.
Drainage, grading, fill, demo.
Every job on this site eventually bumps into dirt work. The shooting lane needs a drainage cut so it doesn't turn into a canal. The new pad needs a culvert under the driveway. The back lot needs the old shed knocked down and the slab pulled. We treat drainage as the main event, not the afterthought. Water has to have somewhere to go, and a ditch graded wrong just moves the standing water thirty feet. Before any of it, 811: Louisiana 811, Texas 811, or Mississippi 811 gets called and cleared before a bucket touches the ground. Same iron, same crew, often the same week as your primary job, one invoice.
In Calcasieu we still book storm-cleanup dirt work years after the hurricanes: buried debris, washed-out drainage, and broken-grade sites are common.
