Stamped Concrete in New Orleans, LA, stamped concrete patios, done right.

New Orleans Concreters pours stamped concrete patios, walkways and driveways 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.

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.

What it costs in New Orleans

As a rule of thumb in the New Orleans market, plain broom-finish concrete runs in the lower per-square-foot range, stamped concrete typically lands in the mid-to-high teens per square foot, and natural stone or pavers cost more still, often double, once you add base work and labor. Stamped gives you the high-end look much closer to the price of plain concrete.

• Square footage, bigger pours lower the per-foot cost.
• Pattern & color count, one color and one stamp is the most affordable; multiple colors, borders and accent bands add labor.
• Site prep, tear-out of an old slab, grading, or poor soil adds cost.
• Access, tight backyard access that blocks the truck means more hand labor.

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.

Stamped concrete vs. pavers in Louisiana

Pavers look great but sit on sand and shift, settle and sprout weeds in the joints over time, and our soil movement and heavy rain accelerates that. Stamped concrete is one monolithic slab: no joints to weed, nothing to heave individually, and far less long-term maintenance. The trade-off is that concrete can develop hairline cracks at control joints, which is exactly why base prep and joint placement matter so much, and why we do them right.

What to expect, start to finish

• Day 1, prep: we form the area, excavate, and compact a stone base.
• Pour day: place concrete, color it, and stamp the pattern before it sets, this is the skilled, time-sensitive part.
• Cure: the slab cures over the following days; we ask you to stay off it briefly.
• Seal: we apply a sealer that brings out the color and protects the surface.
