About half the homes in Broussard were built in 2006 or later, the Census estimates. In Lafayette, half were built in 1981 or later. A newer house often needs add-on concrete, like a larger patio or a wider driveway. On the low ground near the coulees, water can stand in the backyard for days after a hard rain.

Broussard sits on US 90 between Lafayette and New Iberia, with industrial parks along the corridor. The Census counts more than 1,100 new single-family houses permitted here from 2020 through 2025. About 4 in 10 homes in town went up in 2010 or later. The city's own 2026 drainage plan calls its growth unprecedented.
New subdivisions are still going in. Maps from the Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) show new subdivision filings in Broussard every year from 2023 to 2026. Ambassador Commons, the Villas at Albertson Parkway, Oakmont and Cypress Falls are among the newest. Cypress Meadows, Sabal Palms, Paige Place and Whispering Meadows were laid out in phases from 2012 to 2023.
On a newer house, the concrete work is often an add-on. That might be a bigger patio out back or a walk to the side gate. It might also be room for a third car on the driveway. Each one is formed and poured to the standard thickness, with control joints so shrinkage cracks land where they belong.
About one home in four in Broussard was built before 1990, the Census estimates. Saint Julien was laid out in 1966, and Coach House Manor in 1984. A driveway that age can crack across the middle or sink where it meets the street.
Once the driveway has broken into pieces, the fix is to tear out the old slab and re-pour. Where only one part is bad, we saw-cut that section and leave the rest. The old concrete comes out with a hydraulic breaker on the excavator, and we haul the rubble off.
Sometimes an old carport or shed has to come down before a new slab goes in. We handle that as small-structure demolition. Broussard's city pickup takes only yard waste, so what comes down leaves on our dump trailer.
Broussard drains through coulees, the drainage channels Acadiana towns are built around. LCG's maps show Coulee des Poches, Coulee Fortune, Coulee LaSalle and Bayou Tortue inside the city. FEMA's current flood maps for Broussard took effect in December 2018. On those maps, roughly a third of the land in the city limits sits in a high-risk flood zone.
In the August 2016 flood, 507 homeowners with a Broussard mailing address registered with FEMA for help. The city's 2026 drainage plan says that flood led to a strict drainage ordinance. The city now keeps three drainage crews on its ditches and coulees. The plan also counts 50 miles of roadside ditch cleaning from January 2023 on.
Much of the ground around Broussard is Memphis silt loam, which the NRCS soil survey rates well drained. The low spots and drainage paths are often Frost silt loam, which is poorly drained. In most years it is wet within a foot and a half of the surface from December through April. Where water sits in the soil along a house, a French drain in a gravel trench can carry it away.
Broussard is its own city in Lafayette Parish, and it runs its own permit office apart from LCG. Its permit page says permits are required for all new construction, demolition and most home-improvement projects. The list names driveways, and sheds of 200 square feet or more, but not patios, walkways, slabs or drains. The permit office answers the rest, and any permit is sorted out before work starts.
Inside the city limits, the public ditches are the city's to maintain, not LCG's. Section 18-230 of the city code bars anyone from washing out concrete into ditches and drainage canals. Section 18-231 lets a road ditch be bridged only to the city's plans and instructions. A driveway culvert crosses the ditch, so the city's instructions come before the pour.
Under the code, open-ditch subdivisions carry a plat note: the ditches stay open, with culverts only at driveways. The code also bars any owner from drainage work that causes improper drainage. So yard drainage here starts with where the water is allowed to go.
