CMC's Services pours patios, driveways, walkways, garage floors and equipment pads for Kenner homes and businesses. Many Kenner jobs start as one slab and grow into a backyard with a deck, a covered patio or an outdoor kitchen, so we plan the concrete for that from day one.
215+ 5-Star Google Reviews · Licensed & insuredIn Kenner, a patio or slab should be built for two things: the low, wet ground under it and whatever you plan to put on top of it later. The city sits between the Mississippi River levee and Lake Pontchartrain, and much of the soil is soft clay that holds water after storms. CMC's Services compacts a crushed-stone base, sets steel reinforcement, slopes the surface away from the house, and cuts control joints so shrinkage cracks stay in straight lines. If you want a hot tub, a grill island or a pergola on that slab in a few years, we thicken it and add steel where those loads will sit. We pour patios, driveways, sidewalks, garage floors and pads in smooth, broom, stamped or colored finishes. Planning the slab for the full backyard saves you from breaking out a new patio to support a feature it was never designed to carry.
We have worked in Jefferson Parish for over a decade, we are licensed and insured, and every quote starts with a free visit to your property. We measure, check where water goes after a storm, and put the plan and price in writing.
Concrete is the floor everything else in the yard sits on, so it pays to get it right before the furniture arrives.
A slab poured with extra thickness and steel in the right spots can carry a hot tub, a fire pit, a masonry kitchen or the posts of a covered patio. We ask what you might want in the next few years so the slab supports it, even if you build in stages.
Many Kenner clients pair a stamped concrete patio with a composite deck or a strip of artificial turf. We build the concrete and decking ourselves, so heights line up at the transition and there is no step or gap where water can sit between the two.
Garage and carport floors take oil, tire heat and the weight of a parked truck every day. A thicker section with reinforcement and a sealer helps the floor resist stains and the settling that leaves puddles in the corners after Kenner rainstorms.
Choose a smooth or broom finish for a clean look, or a stamped and colored pattern to match brick, stucco or landscaping. Stamped concrete gives the texture of stone or slate on a patio without the labor of setting each piece by hand.
We are your neighbors in Jefferson Parish, not an out-of-town outfit.
We also build decks, outdoor kitchens, fencing and turf. That means one crew can pour the slab, frame the deck and set the grill island, and the pieces are designed to fit together from the start.
Kenner ground shifts after heavy rain and dries out in late summer. Over 10 years of local work has shown us how deep the base needs to go and how weather affects curing on a July afternoon.
If your project needs a permit from the City of Kenner, such as a new driveway apron, we take care of the paperwork and make sure the work meets local code before inspection.
We walk your property, listen to what you want now and later, and give you a written quote. You know the scope, finish and price before any work begins.
A typical residential pour takes a few working days, plus curing time.
We look at the space, measure it, and talk through how you use the yard and what you might add later. We note drainage paths, tree roots and access for the concrete truck, then give you a written quote.
We map the slab and explain options like reinforced thickness under future features, drainage slopes, and stamped or colored finishes. If a deck or covered patio is planned, we mark where its footings and posts will land.
The crew removes sod or old paving, compacts the base, sets forms and rebar, and pours. We finish the surface the way you chose and cut joints. The site is kept tidy and safe during the work.
We keep the concrete damp while it cures in the heat and tell you when it is ready for furniture and cars. Then we walk the finished work with you to confirm it matches the plan.
These are the projects Kenner homeowners ask us for most.
Backyard patios in broom, stamped or decorative finishes, often built as the first phase of a larger outdoor living space with a deck, pergola or covered seating area.
New and widened driveways with reinforced slabs, thickened edges and a slope that drains to the street. Sealing and finishing are available to protect the surface.
Straight or curved walks from the driveway to the front door or around the side of the house to the backyard gate, poured level so they do not hold water.
Heavy-duty garage floor pours for daily parking and workshop use, with reinforcement and an optional sealer against oil and moisture.
Slabs for hot tubs, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and sheds, sized and reinforced for the weight they will carry.

Kenner stretches from the river at Rivertown up to the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront, with the airport in between. Almost all of it is flat and low, and yards here can hold water for a day after a summer storm. A slab that is not sloped or that sits on a thin base turns into a shallow pond. We set a slight fall away from the house on every patio and walk, and we check where your gutters drain before forming.
Planning ahead matters on Kenner's mid-size lots, where the patio, deck and kitchen often share one small backyard. If a deck is part of the plan, we can build it too; see our deck installation in Kenner. If water already pools across the lot, ask about drainage in Kenner before the pour.

“CMC Services just completed an amazing project covering our entire front of our house including new concrete driveways. The project involved demolition of all existing cement and grass with a new design for two separate driveways instead of the former circular driveway plus the addition of turf and decorative cement squares across the entire front and two new gardens with new pavers. From the moment we received their estimate last fall to the beginning of the project in February, our project manager, Matt was exceptional to work with and maintained communication with us throughout the entire project…”
“Had an issue with a city ordinance that should not exist and CMC made it right by fixing it free of charge! The rest of their work is very clean and exactly how they said it would be! Drainage work was much better and cleaner than expected. Their crew cleans up after themselves and leave no messes behind!”
“We worked with CMC services to install landscaping and lighting at our new Catholic Center. They did an excellent job and worked within our budget. Madeline came up with a beautiful design, and the work was done quickly and efficiently. They were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them!”
“CMC'S has been our yard work for several years now and they do a excellent job. The pricing is very reasonable. The guys are professional and friendly. I would recommend CMC'S. They are the best!”
“My lawn looks great. I trust them to come into my backyard even when I am not home.”
“If you want your yard and garden to reflect the beauty of your home call CMC.”
“Been with Corey & CMC service people for a few years, all is good.”

“Great service! Garden always looks great.”
Most residential jobs take about two to five days, covering setup, base prep, pouring and cleanup. Curing continues after that, and weather can shift the schedule, since we will not pour with heavy rain coming. We give you a timeline at the quote and keep you posted if a storm pushes a pour back.
Some fine cracking is normal as concrete shrinks while it cures. We reduce it with a compacted base, rebar, and control joints spaced so any cracks follow straight lines instead of wandering across the slab. Keeping water from pooling along the edges also cuts down on soil movement underneath.
It can if it is built for it. Tell us at the visit what you might add, and we will thicken the slab and add reinforcement where the extra weight will sit. Adding a heavy feature to a standard thin patio can crack it, so planning early saves a tear-out later.
Concrete costs less upkeep and gives a continuous surface that is easy to clean. Pavers can be lifted and reset if the ground shifts, and some people prefer their look. Both work on Kenner soil when the base is built properly. We install both and can walk you through the tradeoffs for your yard.
Yes. When a project needs a permit from the City of Kenner, such as a driveway that connects to the street, we handle the application and make sure the work meets code. Backyard patios often do not need one, and we will tell you which applies.
