River Ridge lots often have the room for a full-size pool plus a real deck, seating and landscaping around it. CMC's Services plans all of it together, so the pool, patio and drainage work as one backyard.
215+ 5-Star Google Reviews · Licensed & insuredOn a River Ridge lot, a pool project is usually more than the pool itself, because the yard has space for a wide deck, walkways, seating and planting around the water. CMC's Services starts by assessing grading, drainage and equipment access, since the flat, low ground here holds water after heavy rain and the pool area has to drain away from both the pool and the house. We then design the pool with you, choosing between a custom concrete pool, a fiberglass shell or a vinyl liner pool, and lay out the deck and surrounding patio in the same plan. Our crew handles excavation, plumbing, steel framing and finish work, then builds the deck and landscaping. Every pool meets Jefferson Parish building codes and safety rules, and we pull the permits. At the end, we review every feature with you and explain care and maintenance.
We build concrete, fiberglass and vinyl liner pools and handle the grading, decking and finish work. Your first visit and written quote are free. Our crew has worked across River Ridge, Harahan and the rest of Jefferson Parish for more than a decade.
With more yard to work with, a pool becomes the center of a full outdoor living area.
Pair the pool with a wide deck, shaded seating and an outdoor kitchen, and the backyard becomes the gathering spot for family, friends and celebrations through most of the year. There is room on most lots for both a pool and a shady seating area.
We tailor the pool's size, shape and finish to your home's layout and look, whether it is a classic ranch, a newer two-story or something in between. We pull materials from the house exterior into the coping and deck. The result looks like it was planned with the house.
Top-tier materials and proven building methods help the pool and deck withstand years of humidity, heavy rainfall and summer heat. Good deck drainage keeps the pool cleaner after storms. We plan for summer storms, hurricane season and the long swim season that follows.
A professionally built pool with finished surroundings makes a River Ridge home more attractive to buyers who moved here for the yards. Finished landscaping matters as much as the water. Buyers notice a pool with a real deck, lighting and planting already in place.
We bring local knowledge, transparency and care to each pool project.
We have spent more than a decade working throughout Jefferson Parish and understand the soil, drainage and permitting requirements in River Ridge. We plan around the soft ground before we dig.
Our team combines current building techniques with careful hand finishing on tile, coping and decks. We are licensed and insured. Coping and tile joints are set by hand. We take pride in clean details.
From structural concrete to energy-efficient pumps, we choose materials and equipment for performance and long life. Efficient pumps cost less to run through a long swim season. We size equipment to your pool volume.
Every project begins with a conversation about how you will use the pool. We plan and build with your priorities in front. If something will add upkeep, we tell you up front.
We handle everything from the first visit to the final cleanup.
We discuss your ideas, space and budget, then assess the property for grading, drainage and access. Those three factors shape where the pool goes and how it is built. We also look at trees and the path for equipment.
We design a layout that fits your home and family, choosing among concrete, fiberglass and vinyl liner options, and plan the deck and landscaping around it. You get a written quote. We review the plan with you line by line.
Once you approve the design, we begin inground installation: excavation, plumbing, steel framing and finish work, done to strict safety standards, followed by the deck and surrounding patio. Inspections happen at each required stage. We keep the site fenced.
Before we wrap up, we review every feature with you, from the water systems to the patio landscaping, and give you guidance on pool care and maintenance. We leave the site clean and the yard regraded.
Choose the pool type, then the features and surroundings that suit your yard.
Built on site with reinforced steel and concrete for any shape and depth, from geometric designs to lagoon-style pools with natural edges. Benches, tanning ledges and a spa can all be built in. Each is built to your size and depth.
Fiberglass shells offer a smooth, low-maintenance surface and quicker installation. Vinyl liner pools are flexible in shape. We explain how each compares on maintenance, lifespan and customization. We put the options side by side in your quote.
Concrete or paver decks sized for loungers and dining, sloped to drain. See our paver patio work for surface options. We leave room for loungers on the sunny side. We match deck color to the house.
Planting beds, walkways to the house and seating areas that frame the pool and tie it to the rest of the yard. We choose plants that drop fewer leaves near the water. Lighting can follow the walkways at night.
For older pools, we update finishes and plumbing and add features like waterfalls, lighting and energy-efficient equipment. A renovation can also include a new deck. We also replace worn tile and coping on older pools.
River Ridge sits on the east bank between the river and the lake, and like Harahan next door, it is flat and low with soft soil. A pool dug into a yard that already ponds after storms will collect runoff, dirt and lawn clippings. We check how water moves across the lot during the site visit and regrade or add drainage so the pool deck sheds water to the yard, not into the pool.
Larger River Ridge lots invite larger decks. More concrete or pavers means more water to manage and more weight on soft ground, so we compact the base, reinforce the slab and add control joints where the deck meets the coping. Decks also need a slight slope away from the water so splash and rain drain off instead of washing debris into the pool. Pavers can be lifted and reset if the ground shifts.
Many homes here are older ranch houses with mature trees. We site the pool away from big roots and heavy leaf fall where we can, which means less cleaning and less risk to the shell. Where a tree has to stay close to the pool, we can add a root barrier and choose a deck design that handles some movement. Gutters and downspouts on the house also get rerouted so roof water does not run across the deck.

“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!”

Yes. We build pools in River Ridge and nearby areas including Harahan, Elmwood, Metairie and Kenner. Our office is in Metairie, so River Ridge projects are close by for site visits and inspections. Call (504) 608-4272 to book a visit.
We build concrete pools and install fiberglass and vinyl liner pools. They differ in maintenance, lifespan and how much you can customize the shape. We go over those trade-offs during planning and help you choose based on your yard and how you will use the pool.
Pool size, material and design features drive most of the price, along with the size and material of the deck, landscaping, drainage work and site access. We give you a detailed, transparent written estimate after the site visit so you understand the cost before work begins.
Yes. We plan the pool, deck, walkways, seating and planting together so the whole space fits. Doing it as one project also lets us handle grading and drainage once, instead of disturbing a finished yard later. That saves money and mess.
We do. We can modernize an older pool with new finishes, updated plumbing, lighting, waterfalls and energy-efficient pumps, and refresh the deck around it. Many of these upgrades can be done without draining the pool for long. Each upgrade is quoted separately.
