Stone & Travertine Patios, New Orleans Metro

The surface underfoot sets the tone for the whole backyard, and in New Orleans it also has a hard job: staying flat on soft ground that moves. We install travertine and natural stone patio surfaces across the metro, built on bases engineered for delta soil and heavy rain.

Surfaces We Install

Natural stone is the workhorse: strong, repairable piece by piece, and available in a wide range of colors and formats. Travertine runs cooler underfoot in direct sun and brings a softer, old-world look that suits this city. Natural stone makes a statement in courtyards and garden paths. We bring samples to the estimate so you pick from material in your hand, not photos.

The Base Is the Product

Any crew can lay stone on sand. Whether they are still flat after two summers of downpours depends on what is underneath. We excavate, build a compacted base sized for our soil, set proper edge restraints, and grade the whole surface so water sheds away from the house. On lots that hold water, we build drainage into the project instead of hoping.

Repairs Without Tear-Outs

One advantage of segmental paving in this soil: if a section ever settles, it lifts and resets. No saw cuts, no demolition, no patch that never matches. It is the right failure mode for ground that moves.

Bigger Than a Surface

Paving is usually one layer of a larger plan: a custom patio design, a cover overhead, or an outdoor kitchen that needs a clean, level cooking zone. Tell us the whole picture at the free estimate and we will design the base and grades so every later phase lands on solid ground.
