Custom Patios in New Orleans, LA
Custom patio design and construction in New Orleans. Surfaces, shade, and drainage planned together, with a written estimate before work starts.
A patio here is not a slab with chairs on it. Done right, it is the most used room of the house from October through May and, with the right shade, all summer too. We design and build custom patios across the New Orleans metro, sized to the yard, the drainage, and the way you actually live outside.
Designed Around Your Yard, Not a Template
Every custom patio starts with a walkthrough. We look at how water moves through the lot, where the afternoon sun lands, which trees you want to keep, and how you want the space to work: dinner for six, a crawfish boil for thirty, or a quiet coffee spot off the back door. Then we draw the space and price it in writing.
Surface options run from travertine and natural stone to stamped and finished concrete. Each has a different feel underfoot, a different heat behavior in July, and a different price point. We bring samples to the estimate so you choose from real materials, not swatches on a screen.
Built for the Ground Under It
South Louisiana sits on soft alluvial soil that settles when water sits under it. That is why our patios start below the surface: a compacted base graded so rain moves off the patio and away from your foundation, not toward it. It is the least visible part of the project and the one that decides whether the patio still sits flat in ten years.
Shade and Cover From Day One
Most patios here end up wanting shade. Planning a patio cover, pergola, or outdoor kitchen at design time is cheaper and cleaner than bolting one on later, because footings, drainage, and electrical can go in once. Tell us the full picture of what you want, even if you plan to phase it, and we will design so phase two fits.
What It Costs
Price depends on size, surface, and the base and drainage work the site needs, so we do not quote from the phone. The on-site estimate is free, the scope goes in writing, and the number we give you is the number you pay.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom patios cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and what the site needs for drainage and anchoring. We put all of it in a written estimate after a free on-site visit, before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How long does the project take?
Smaller projects finish in days; larger builds with covers, kitchens, or structural work take longer. We give you a firm timeline with your estimate, not a guess, and we hold to it.
Will it stand up to our weather?
That is the whole point of how we build. Storm season runs June through November here, so everything we install is anchored and engineered for wind, and we choose materials that handle humidity instead of soaking it up.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Big Easy Patios is a licensed and insured Louisiana contractor. We pull the permits your parish requires and put the full scope in writing, so there are no surprises mid-project.
