Bass Concrete was founded in Slidell, Louisiana in 1956. We've been family-owned every year since — and run by the Bass family every year since.
Bass Concrete was started in 1956 by a Gulf Coast family that understood two things: concrete and the people who buy it.
The first pours were driveways and small commercial slabs in St. Tammany Parish. Over the next two decades, word spread. By the 1970s, the company was pouring commercial buildings across South Louisiana. In the 1980s, we earned our first Louisiana DOTD certifications — and discovered a specialty the family has carried ever since.
Today, Bass pours across South Louisiana and Mississippi. Commercial slabs for retail rollouts, industrial foundations for food-processing and manufacturing plants, state infrastructure pours where DOTD paperwork has to match the pour ticket, and residential driveways for the same neighborhoods the family grew up in. Three generations of the Bass family have run this company. That's not a tagline. That's the reason we're still here.
Talk to the familyThe bid is the bid. If the pour runs into conditions we should have caught up front, that's our problem, not yours. Change orders come from scope changes — not from us finding a way to bill more.
Concrete doesn't wait. When the weather turns or the schedule tightens, our crews work the hours it takes to hit the spec. Nobody on a Bass jobsite has ever poured a wet slab because the schedule was inconvenient.
Every slab we've ever poured in seventy years has our family name on it. We don't cut finish-work corners because somebody might not notice. We pour it right because we know what corners cost long-term.
When the job is state-funded, federally regulated, or spec'd to a national standard, we have the certifications, test documentation, and QC chain to prove it.
Certified for every class of mix the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development writes. Batch tickets, cylinder breaks, slump logs, placement records — full QC documentation with every DOTD pour.
Our finishers and placement crews are trained to American Concrete Institute standards. That's the spec most private commercial jobs reference, and it's the standard we run internally even when not required.
Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors + Mississippi licensing current. General liability, workers' comp, and auto — certificates of insurance on request for commercial and government work.
