Metairie is home base, and our shop on York St puts us minutes from most jobs. Many lots here are flat, low and slow to drain, so a lot of our Metairie work pairs a new paver patio or turf lawn with regrading and French drains. We also build outdoor kitchens and fences around the ranch and split-level homes common off Veterans Blvd.
Kenner runs from the Rivertown area up to the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront, with plenty of subdivisions built in between. We build paver driveways, patios, retaining edges and landscape lighting there. Kenner is its own city, so fence, pool and slab permits go through the City of Kenner rather than the parish, and we plan schedules around that.
River Ridge has older ranch homes on larger lots, which gives room for pools, outdoor kitchens and full backyard layouts. Mature trees and clay soil mean we plan grading and drainage carefully, so the wettest months do not leave standing water around new hardscape. Permits here go through Jefferson Parish, since River Ridge is unincorporated.
New Orleans jobs range from tight shotgun lots and courtyards to raised homes in Lakeview with room to spread out. We install artificial turf, fire pits, paver patios and decks sized for narrow yards. In historic districts under the HDLC, visible exterior changes can need approval, and we factor that into the timeline before work starts.
Beyond Metairie, Kenner and River Ridge, we work in Harahan and on the west bank in Gretna, Westwego and Marrero. Across the parish we build retaining walls, lay pavers and install French drains meant to handle summer downpours. Incorporated cities and unincorporated areas use different permit offices, and we sort out which one applies to your address.
Orleans Parish is the City of New Orleans, and ground conditions shift a lot from one neighborhood to the next. Higher ground near the river behaves differently from low lakeside neighborhoods like Gentilly and Broadmoor. We look at your block's drainage before recommending a patio base, turf system or deck footing that will hold up there.
