New Orleans Concreters pours new concrete driveways and driveway replacements across Chalmette, the heart of St. Bernard Parish, just downriver from the city. You get a local crew, honest itemized pricing, and concrete prepped, jointed and sealed to hold up through southeast Louisiana's heat, humidity and shifting soils, not just look good on day one.
New driveways & full replacements
Whether you are replacing a cracked, heaving driveway or pouring new, we build it to carry real vehicle loads: a compacted base, the right slab thickness and rebar or wire reinforcement where it counts, with proper slope so water runs off instead of pooling.
Finishes & options
- Broom finish for a durable, classic driveway.
- Stamped or bordered for curb appeal that matches a stamped patio or walkway.
- Exposed aggregate for grip and a high-end look.
- Proper drainage and expansion joints so the slab moves without cracking.
Built for the Gulf Coast climate
An properly proportioned mix, correct jointing and a good sealer keep your driveway intact through heat, heavy rain and shifting soils. We will tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement is the smarter spend.
Concrete driveways in Chalmette
We pour and replace concrete driveways across Chalmette on a compacted base at the right thickness for the soft, low-lying ground. St. Bernard permits and drainage rules apply to exterior concrete, so we confirm requirements with the parish Safety and Permits Division and build it to code, sloped to move water off.
Permits in Chalmette
St. Bernard Parish permits go through the Department of Community Development's Safety and Permits Division, handled through the MyGovernmentOnline portal. Exterior concrete like driveways, patios and slabs is generally subject to parish permitting and drainage review, especially given the low elevation. We help confirm and pull the permits your Chalmette project needs.

Common questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost?
Driveway cost depends on square footage, thickness, reinforcement, tear-out of the old slab, and finish. We give a clear, itemized estimate for free so there are no surprises.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
Four inches is standard for cars; we go thicker where trucks, RVs or heavy loads are involved, with reinforcement to match.
Can you replace just part of my driveway?
Often yes. If only a section has failed we can replace that area; if the base is gone underneath the whole thing, a full replacement is the better value. We will tell you straight.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Chalmette?
St. Bernard Parish generally regulates exterior concrete through its Safety and Permits Division, with drainage review given the low elevation. We help confirm and pull the permits your project needs and build it to parish code.
