Concrete Contractor services in Gretna
Old Gretna was laid out in the 1800s, and concrete work in it is a job of small spaces. Houses sit close together on narrow lots, many raised on piers, with a short front walk, a set of steps and sometimes a single strip of driveway squeezed down one side. A ready-mix truck often cannot reach the pour, so the concrete is wheeled or pumped in. Farther from the river, the newer streets have slab houses and regular two-car drives, and the common trouble there is settlement at the street and at the garage. The whole city is flat and close to river level, so a slab needs a deliberate slope to a drain or to the street. In Gretna we measure access as carefully as the slab itself, and we ask early whether the house is inside one of the historic districts.

Permits and local rules
Gretna is its own city and permits come from the City of Gretna Building Department. The city has local historic districts with a Historic District Commission, so exterior work on a house in Old Gretna or McDonoghville may need its approval first. We could not confirm the exact rule for driveways and aprons from an official page, so we check with the Building Department for your address.
