Stone & Travertine Patios in New Orleans, LA
Stone and travertine patios in New Orleans: natural stone surfaces on compacted, drainage-graded bases that stay flat in delta soil.
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.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stone & travertine 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.
