Gulfport Concrete builds retaining walls, driveways, and slab foundations in Gautier, MS - with drainage designed for waterfront soil, Jackson County permits handled, and base prep built for 60-plus inches of annual rainfall. Licensed contractor responding within 1 business day.
Gautier properties near the Pascagoula River and Back Bay wetlands face real soil erosion risk during the 60-plus inches of rain the area gets each year. A properly drained concrete retaining wall stops grade movement and protects yards, driveways, and foundations through storm season. See our full concrete retaining walls service page for details.
Gautier driveways sit on clay-heavy Jackson County soil that shifts with every wet and dry cycle. We compact the base, add gravel drainage layers, and pour with reinforcement sized for the load and the local soil conditions - so you are not watching cracks form after the first hurricane season.
A large share of Gautier homes are ranch-style slabs built between the 1970s and 2000s, and some post-Katrina rebuilds sit on elevated piers that meet FEMA flood elevation requirements. We pour new and replacement slabs built for Jackson County's soil movement and the city's coastal flood zone designations.
Gautier's near-year-round outdoor season means patios take constant use, UV exposure, and heavy Gulf Coast rainfall. We slope every patio for drainage, seal the surface to resist the humidity and salt air that come with living between the Pascagoula River and the Back Bay, and finish to the texture you prefer.
Waterfront and wetland-adjacent Gautier lots sometimes have soft or saturated soil that requires deeper, wider footings than a standard inland installation. We assess the soil before quoting and build footings that reach stable ground - the foundation of anything that will hold structural weight for decades.
Gautier sits between the Pascagoula River to the east and the Back Bay of Biloxi to the west, with large areas of wetlands and tidal marshes throughout the city. That waterfront and wetland setting is what makes Gautier distinctive, and it is also what makes concrete work here more demanding than in most inland markets. Properties near the river and the back bay can have soft, saturated, or unstable soil that requires deeper footings and more careful base preparation than a typical slab pour. A contractor who does not check the soil before quoting will often find that the original estimate does not match the actual work required.
Gautier receives around 60 to 65 inches of rain per year, and the flat terrain near the river and wetlands means water moves slowly across and through yards. That standing water is one of the main reasons concrete slabs and retaining walls fail early in this part of Jackson County - drainage is not optional, it is the most important design decision on any flatwork job. The city also saw major rebuilding after both Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which means a large portion of the housing stock is now 20 to 50 years old and is reaching the age where foundations, driveways, and retaining walls need their first serious attention.
We work on properties throughout Gautier, including the single-story ranch homes and brick veneer houses built in the 1970s and 1980s that make up much of the city's residential core, and the post-Katrina elevated homes closer to the water. Ranch-style slabs from this era often need drainage corrections and base repairs that newer construction does not - and we know how to evaluate what is actually causing a failure before quoting a repair or replacement. The City of Gautier handles building permits for residential concrete work in the city.
Gautier sits between Pascagoula to the east and Ocean Springs to the west, with Highway 90 running through the city connecting it to both. Many Gautier residents commute to jobs at Huntington Ingalls shipbuilding in Pascagoula, one of the largest employers in the state. Shepard State Park, on the Singing River just east of town, is one of the most-visited outdoor spaces in the city. The large lots and mature tree canopy in older neighborhoods mean root intrusion into driveways and foundations is a regular repair need we handle throughout the area.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Moss Point, where Escatawpa River flood zones and pre-1980 pier-and-beam housing create a different set of concrete challenges, and in Ocean Springs, just to the west along Highway 90.
Reach us by phone or through our online form and we will respond within 1 business day. We will ask about your property location and project type to prepare for the site visit - the estimate is free with no obligation.
We visit your Gautier property, assess the soil and drainage conditions, and check any flood zone designations that apply to your lot. Your written estimate will spell out the scope, base prep requirements, and permit process before you commit to anything.
We handle the permit application through the City of Gautier and schedule the work around the weather forecast. Most permit approvals take one to two weeks, and we will keep you updated on timing so you know when to expect the crew.
The crew finishes the job and walks the site with you before leaving. We confirm drainage is correct, explain the curing period, and answer any questions about how to care for the new concrete so it holds up through Jackson County weather.
We assess your soil conditions, check flood zone designations, and handle City of Gautier permits - all included in a free on-site estimate with no obligation.
(228) 263-3601Gautier is a city of roughly 18,500 residents in Jackson County, Mississippi, situated along the Pascagoula River - known locally as the Singing River for the humming sound it sometimes makes. The city sits between Pascagoula to the east and Ocean Springs to the west, with large wetland areas and the Back Bay of Biloxi forming its western boundary. Much of the housing stock dates from the 1970s through the 2000s, with a mix of ranch-style homes, brick veneer construction, and post-Katrina elevated structures closer to the water. Lot sizes tend to be generous, with mature pine and live oak canopy throughout the older neighborhoods near Shepard State Park.
Gautier has a high owner-occupancy rate for a city its size, and most residents are long-term homeowners rather than renters or seasonal visitors. Many commute to jobs at the Huntington Ingalls shipbuilding facility in Pascagoula, one of Mississippi's largest private employers. The city has a semi-rural feel in many areas despite its proximity to the larger coastal cities, and homeowners here tend to maintain their properties closely. Neighboring communities like Pascagoula and Ocean Springs share many of Gautier's soil and climate challenges and are part of the same service area we cover.

Gautier gets around 60 to 65 inches of rain per year, and water pressure is the main reason retaining walls fail in this area. We design drainage behind every wall before pouring a single yard of concrete - gravel, drainage pipes, or both - because a wall without drainage is a wall waiting to fail.
We serve homeowners across Gautier - from the neighborhoods near Shepard State Park and the Pascagoula River to the subdivisions off Highway 90 - and throughout Jackson County including Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, and Moss Point.
Properties near the Pascagoula River and Back Bay wetlands can have soft or saturated soil that requires deeper footings and more thorough compaction than typical inland sites. We assess the soil before quoting and build footings designed for the actual ground conditions at each specific property.
Gautier is a city where waterfront soil, wetland drainage patterns, and an aging post-hurricane housing stock combine to make concrete work more nuanced than in most markets. We account for those conditions from the first site visit - not after the job starts.
