New Orleans Concreters pours stamped concrete patios, walkways and driveways across Metairie, the largest community in the metro, just west of 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.
Why homeowners choose stamped concrete
Stamped concrete gives you the look of natural stone, brick, slate or wood pavers in a single, solid pour, at a fraction of the cost and with none of the weeds and shifting that come with pavers. You get the pattern and color cast right into the surface, so it holds up for decades.
Patterns & colors
- Patterns: ashlar slate, random stone, herringbone and running-bond brick, wood plank, cobblestone.
- Color: integral color in the mix plus a contrasting release for depth, or acid stain for a richer, mottled finish.
- Borders & bands: a contrasting border or soldier course frames patios and driveways and hides the edge form line.
Built for Louisiana's heat, humidity and shifting soils
Central the Gulf Coast climate are hard on flatwork. We pour an properly proportioned mix on a properly compacted base, cut clean control joints to direct where the slab moves, and finish with a quality sealer. Reseal every two to three years and stamped concrete stays sharp against heat, heavy rain and shifting soils for the long haul.
Stamped concrete for Metairie homes
Metairie is the metro's largest community, and its established neighborhoods, from Old Metairie and Metairie Club Gardens to Bucktown near the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront, are full of homes made for a decorative stamped patio or walkway. As local concrete contractors we pour stamped concrete across Old Metairie, Bonnabel Place, Airline Park and Old Jefferson, matching pattern and color to the home. On Metairie's soft, low-lying ground we build on a compacted base with proper control joints so the color and finish last.
Permits in Metairie
Metairie is unincorporated Jefferson Parish, so building permits run through Jefferson Parish, not a city office. Ordinary private paving of a patio, walkway or driveway often does not need a building permit, but any work in the public right-of-way, like a driveway apron or curb cut, does, and Old Metairie has extra tree-preservation and conservation-district rules. We confirm and pull what your specific project needs.

Common questions
How much does stamped concrete cost in New Orleans?
Stamped concrete runs more than a plain broom-finish slab but well under pavers or natural stone, because the pattern and color go in during the pour. Final price depends on square footage, the number of patterns and colors, site prep and access. We give a clear, itemized estimate for free.
Does stamped concrete crack?
All concrete has control joints that direct where it cracks. Poured on a solid base with the right joint spacing, mix and sealer, stamped concrete holds up beautifully through the Gulf Coast climate.
How do I maintain a stamped concrete patio?
Rinse it as needed, reseal every two to three years, and avoid standing water and ponding while it cures. That is essentially the whole maintenance routine.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Metairie?
Metairie permits go through Jefferson Parish, not a city office. Simple private paving often does not need a building permit, but driveway aprons, curb cuts and Old Metairie conservation-district work do. We confirm the requirements and handle the paperwork for your project.
