Most people call us about a single project: a pool, a patio, or a corner of the yard that floods every time it rains. Then it becomes clear that everything is connected. The pool deck needs drainage, the drainage needs grading, and someone has to light the path to the water. So we look at the whole yard first, then build in an order that makes sense. In Southeast Louisiana, rain and sun decide how long anything lasts, so that goes into the plan from day one. Every service we offer is listed below. Start with whatever is closest to your project, open the pages for details, or call and tell us what concerns you about your yard. We prefer to walk the property rather than quote from a photo. Ask us anything before you commit.

Swimming Pools
Whether you are planning your first pool or replacing an aging one, start here. See how we plan, build, and renovate pools in New Orleans and the surrounding parishes, then compare the types and water systems side by side before any digging begins on your property.
Every pool we build starts with your yard, not a catalog. We walk the lot, look at the house and the sunlight, then decide the shape, depth, steps, spa, and tanning ledge before any digging begins. Gunite, concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl, we help you choose the right construction method. Then our own crews handle excavation, plumbing, and equipment through your first swim, with one phone number to call. Read more about Swimming Pools »
Fiberglass, vinyl, gunite, concrete, cocktail pools, chlorine, saltwater. Opinions vary, and many come with a sales pitch. We lay out what each type costs to build, what upkeep involves, and how it holds up in Louisiana heat and rain. For a small yard, a cocktail pool may be all you need. Then you choose the one that fits your family and budget, with no pressure. Read more about Pool Types & Systems »

Outdoor Living
Cooking, fire, shade, water, and wood. These are the features that make a backyard worth using, and the ones we build most often. Kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, carpentry, and garden ponds are planned together so the yard works as one space instead of a collection of separate projects.
A backyard works best when it is planned as one space. We design outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands, fireplaces, fire pits, seating, and shade around how you actually entertain, then match the materials, levels, and lighting so everything belongs together. Whether you grill for two or feed twenty, we build the space where everyone gathers, and we build it for regular use. Ask about gas or wood-burning fire features. Read more about Outdoor Living »
Outdoor Kitchens and BBQsGrills, counters, and storage built for hosting, matched to the way you cook.
Outdoor FireplacesA warm focal point for cool Louisiana evenings, built to look like it belongs.
Outdoor Fire-PitsGas or wood-burning, a simple place to gather and enjoy the evening outdoors.
Shade matters in New Orleans, and so does a roof that can withstand a summer thunderstorm. We design and build pavilions for dining and relaxing, pergolas for filtered sunlight, and sturdy patio covers tied into your house. Each one is sized to your yard and lined up with the patio, pool, or kitchen next to it. Tell us how you use the space and we will size everything to fit. Read more about Outdoor Structures »
PavilionsFull shelter for dining and lounging, built to withstand our sun and storms.
PergolasStyle and filtered shade without closing in the yard, sized for your patio or garden.
Patio CoversA solid roof over your patio, tied into your house, for rain-or-shine gatherings.
Many outdoor features look best in wood. We build custom pergolas, arbors, trellises, benches, and enclosures that fit your yard and match your house, not stock items from a home center. Quality lumber, solid joints, and a finish that stands up to sun, rain, and our humid air. Privacy screens and planter boxes, too. Bring a photo or a simple sketch and we will work out the details together. Read more about Carpentry »
Moving water changes how a yard feels. A fountain, a waterfall, a koi pond, or a simple bubbler adds a soothing sound that covers street noise and creates a pleasant place to sit. We size each one to the space, set up the pumps and plumbing so it runs properly, and keep upkeep manageable. We will tell you honestly which one suits your yard and budget.

Hardscapes, Pavers & Concrete
Patios, drives, walls, slabs, steps, and stonework. These are the solid surfaces and structures your yard is built on, in materials that best suit your house. We pave, pour, and build them ourselves, and we plan the grade and the drainage along with them, so the work holds up long after heavy rains.
Hardscape is the structure of your yard: the patios, driveways, pool decks, walls, steps, and walks that everything else rests on. We plan the layout, the grade, and the drainage together, so water goes where it should and the finished job looks like part of the house. Good hardscape goes unnoticed and poor hardscape never does, so we build it right the first time. We handle sealing too. Read more about Hardscapes »

Good concrete depends on preparation, and that is where we spend our time. Grade, base, reinforcement, thickness, and finish all get attention before the truck arrives. We pour driveways, patios, slabs, sidewalks, footers, and walls, plus stamped and decorative finishes, for homes and businesses across Southeast Louisiana. Concrete should only be poured once, so we do it right the first time. We also power wash old slabs. Read more about Concrete »
Decorative ConcreteStain, color, and overlays that give plain slabs real character and a fresh look.
Custom DesignPatios and drives laid out your way, with shapes and borders planned out first.
Flatwork ConcreteSlabs, sidewalks, and driveways poured on a well-prepped base for a clean finish.

Power WashingRestore stained, weathered concrete and pavers so your surfaces look new again.
Stamped ConcreteThe look of stone or brick, poured in place, in the patterns and colors you pick.
Pavers do most of the work in a good outdoor space. Patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks all need a surface that looks great and holds up to our rain. We install brick, concrete, travertine, bluestone, flagstone, granite, permeable, and other natural stone over a properly built base, because the base is what keeps a paver job flat for years. Not sure which suits you? Browse the material pages below. Read more about Pavers »

Every course is laid straight and every joint is finished clean and tight. If you can sketch it, our masons can build it. Tell us what you picture. Read more about Masonry »
Landscape & Site Work
Drainage, grading, turf, lighting, and gardens. This is the work that supports everything else in your yard. Some of it you will notice every day, and some only when it rains hard and everything stays dry. We handle all of it, from the very first trench to the last seasonal cleanup.
If water stands in your yard after a heavy rain, it will not fix itself. Our ground is flat and low, so water ends up pooling against your foundation, under your patio, or around your pool equipment. We trace where it comes from, then bury drains that carry it off your property, and we do the excavation, the pipe, the backfill, and the cleanup. Solve the water problem first. Read more about Subsurface Drainage »
Every good project starts with ground preparation. Our Bobcat crews handle excavation, grading, trenching, hauling soil and debris, demolition, and cleanup, and they reach tight spaces that large equipment cannot without tearing up your yard. We run it on our own jobs and for homeowners and contractors who need site work done. Small jobs and large ones are both welcome, and tight access is not a problem. Read more about Excavation and Site Work Services »
A yard that disappears at sunset is a yard you are not using. Good lighting solves that problem. We place low-voltage LED fixtures to illuminate your steps, paths, trees, garden walls, and pool area, so you can clearly see where you are walking and appreciate the view after dark. It is safe, reliable, easy on the electric bill, and warm and soft rather than harsh. Read more about Landscape Lighting »
Natural grass is hard to grow in shade, around a pool deck, or in a dog run. Artificial turf stays green all year long with no mowing, no watering, no fertilizer, and no mud. We prepare the base properly, grade for drainage, and cut clean, tight seams and edges so it looks convincingly natural all the way up to your patio. It suits yards, play areas, and commercial properties. Read more about Artificial Turf »
