New Orleans Concreters pours new concrete driveways and driveway replacements across New Orleans, the heart of the metro, right where we are based. 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.
What it costs in New Orleans
Driveway cost in New Orleans comes down to square footage, slab thickness, reinforcement, finish, and whether the old driveway has to come out first. A standard broom-finish concrete driveway is the baseline; stamped or bordered finishes and thicker, reinforced slabs for heavy vehicles cost more.
- 4 inches is standard for passenger vehicles; we go thicker for trucks/RVs.
- Tear-out of the existing driveway is a real line item, we price it separately so you see it.
- Reinforcement (wire or rebar) and proper drainage protect the investment.
These are general central-Louisiana ranges to set expectations, not a quote. Your real number depends on the specifics above, and our written estimate is always free.

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.
How long does a concrete driveway last?
A correctly built concrete driveway routinely lasts 30 years or more in Louisiana, considerably longer than asphalt, with little maintenance beyond occasional sealing and keeping standing water and ponding to a minimum.
Concrete or asphalt driveway in Louisiana?
Concrete costs more up front but lasts longer, needs less maintenance, and gives you decorative options like stamping and borders. Asphalt is cheaper initially but needs resealing every few years and softens in summer heat.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Plan on staying off it with vehicles for about seven days while it cures and gains strength. You can usually walk on it within a day or two.
