Custom Patios in New Orleans and the Metro Area
Patio design and construction planned around drainage, shade, and the way you actually use the yard — with a written estimate before work starts.
A patio here is only as good as the ground under it and the shade over it. We design and build patios across the New Orleans metro, sized to your yard, your drainage, and how you plan to use the space.
Designed Around Your Yard, Not a Template
Every patio starts with a walkthrough. We look at how water moves across the lot, where the afternoon sun lands, and how you want the space to work — dinner for six, a crawfish boil for thirty, or a quiet coffee spot off the back door.
Surface options run from pavers and brick to flagstone and stamped concrete. Each has a different feel underfoot, a different heat behaviour in July, and a different price. We bring samples to the estimate so you are choosing from real materials.
Built for the Ground Under It
South Louisiana sits on soft delta soil that settles wherever water collects. That is why our patios start below the surface, on a compacted base graded so rain moves off the patio and away from your foundation rather than toward it. It is the least visible part of the job and the part that decides whether the patio still sits flat years from now.
Shade and Cover From Day One
Most patios here end up wanting shade. Planning a pergola or gazebo, or a covered outdoor kitchen, at design time is cleaner than adding one later, because footings and drainage can go in once. Tell us the full picture even if you plan to build in phases, and we will design so phase two fits.
What It Costs
Price depends on size, surface, and how much base and drainage work the site actually needs, so we do not quote from the phone. The on-site consultation is free, the scope goes in writing, and we walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a patio need special drainage in New Orleans?
Yes. Our soil and rainfall make proper grading and a compacted, drainage-graded base essential. We read drainage on every site visit before quoting.
Which patio surface holds up best here?
Pavers and natural stone shed water well and stay slip-resistant when wet; stamped concrete is easier to clean but warms up in direct summer sun. We bring samples so you can compare in person.
Can I add a cover or outdoor kitchen later?
In most cases, yes — and it is cheaper if we know up front. Tell us at the consultation and we will plan the layout and footings so the later phase drops straight in.
