New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional pool decking & hardscape in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Pool decking and hardscape in New Orleans covers travertine, pavers, stamped concrete, overlays, drainage, seat walls, and covered patios, and in this city drainage is the part that decides whether the whole thing works.
We shoot grades before we form anything, because a deck that sheds our rainfall in the wrong direction is a foundation problem rather than a landscaping preference. Material choice comes down to heat, grip, movement, and money.
Travertine and natural stone stay cooler underfoot than poured concrete and look right on older properties, and being porous they want sealing on a schedule in a humid climate.
Pavers have one advantage here that outweighs almost everything else: when the ground settles, and in New Orleans it will, you lift and reset the affected units on a corrected base instead of saw-cutting and patching a slab that will never match.
On a subsiding lot that is the difference between a deck you maintain and a deck you replace. Stamped and colored concrete is the value option and can be textured for the grip you want when everything is wet, which around here is frequently.
A bonded overlay can rescue an existing slab that is ugly but structurally sound and still level. Drainage deserves its own paragraph because we get called about it constantly.
Heavy annual rainfall, flat lots, clay in places, and a shallow water table mean a pool deck without proper slope, channel drains, and a real outlet becomes a standing pond, then a mosquito nursery, and eventually pushes water against your slab or piers.
We install channel and area drains, tie them to an actual outlet rather than a gravel pit that silts up in two years, and detail expansion joints generously so settlement cracks where we choose rather than where it prefers.
While the crew is on site we will also build the shade, because a New Orleans backyard without it is theoretical from June to September: covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, seat walls, fire pits for the four cold weeks, and low-voltage lighting so the space works after dark when it finally cools off.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool decking & hardscape
The difference between pool decking & hardscape that lasts and pool decking & hardscape that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
