Concrete Contractor services in Metairie
Two kinds of ground meet in Metairie, and a concrete job goes differently on each. Along Metairie Road the land is a low natural ridge, firmer and a little higher, with older houses and mature oaks close to the pavement. North of it, toward Lake Pontchartrain, the subdivisions were built on drained marsh, and that soil has been shrinking ever since the pumps went in. You can see it where a carport slab sits lower than the house beside it, or where the street end of a driveway has dropped below the curb. Most homes here are brick ranches on slabs with a double drive, so the usual call is a full driveway replacement or a sunken panel. Before we price one, we probe the soil at the low spots and check where rainwater leaves the yard, because both decide how long the new slab stays put.

Permits and local rules
Metairie has no city hall of its own, so Jefferson Parish rules apply. The parish requires a driveway permit to build a new, replacement or additional driveway apron on parish right of way, and that permit also covers the public sidewalk. The parish lists non-structural paving on private property as work that does not need a building permit.
