Hammond's college-town bungalows and newer subdivisions sit on firmer upland soil than New Orleans proper, but the same heavy rain, humid summers, and occasional flooding still take a toll on concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks. When your driveway cracks, your patio settles, or your walkway becomes a trip hazard, New Orleans Concrete brings the expertise and speed Hammond homeowners trust.
We've been serving Hammond and the surrounding New Orleans area for years, fixing the concrete problems that matter most: sunken slabs, uneven sidewalks, crumbling edges, and the drainage issues that rain and humidity create. Whether you live near Southeastern Louisiana University, in one of the newer subdivisions off Highway 51, or in Hammond's older neighborhoods, we know the soil, the weather patterns, and what it takes to build concrete that lasts.
Concrete in Hammond (70402)
Hammond sits on higher ground than the river city, but that doesn't mean your concrete is problem-free. Our area gets about 60 inches of rain a year, near-daily summer thunderstorms, and intense humidity that speeds concrete set times and breeds mildew on unsealed surfaces. The soil here is firmer than the backswamp clays closer to New Orleans, but drainage is still critical. Older lots are often narrow, which means tight access for equipment and careful coordination around your house, garage, and property line. Newer subdivisions have more room, but grading and drainage matter just as much. We see a lot of settled driveways, cracked patios where water pools, and sidewalks heaving from tree roots or poor initial prep. Concrete sealing is not a luxury here, it's maintenance.
Our team has poured, repaired, and lifted concrete across Hammond for years. We understand local permit requirements, HOA rules in newer developments, and how to work in tight spaces without tearing up your yard. We know which jobs need thicker reinforcement, better drainage, and sealed finishes to stand up to Louisiana humidity and rain.

How a Job Works in Hammond
Step one is always a free on-site visit. We look at the concrete, the soil, the drainage, and how water moves across your property. We ask about what you've noticed, how long the problem has been there, and what you want the finished result to look like. If permits are needed for driveway work or sidewalk repair, we'll tell you upfront and handle the paperwork. We'll give you a clear price and timeline before we start.
Step two is the work itself. We show up on time with the right crew and equipment. For driveways and patios in Hammond, that often means careful grading and drainage, proper reinforcement, and attention to how water will flow after the job is done. If your lot is tight, we plan access carefully so we're not tearing up your neighbor's yard or blocking the street longer than necessary. We work clean and keep the noise reasonable.
Step three is cleanup and your final walkthrough. We haul away debris, sweep the site, and make sure your property looks better than when we started. We'll walk you through the concrete, explain what we did, and answer any questions about care or sealing.
Pricing for Hammond concrete work depends on size, access, the condition of what's underneath, and how fast you need it done. A basic concrete driveway runs about 6 dollars per square foot, a patio around 6 dollars per square foot, and sidewalks or steps about 6 dollars per square foot. If you want stamped or decorative concrete, budget 10 dollars per square foot or more. Repair and resurfacing of existing concrete is often cheaper, starting around 3 dollars per square foot. Concrete sealing, which we recommend for Hammond's humidity, runs about 75 cents per square foot. Slab lifting or leveling, useful for settled driveways, starts around 4 dollars per square foot. The final price depends on the exact size of your project, whether we need to remove old concrete first, how much grading and drainage work is involved, and whether permits add time.
