Kenner's ranch homes and newer subdivisions sit on some of the trickiest ground in the New Orleans area, with a high water table, heavy summer downpours, and soft backswamp clay that shifts under concrete year-round.
That's why homeowners in Kenner (70065) call New Orleans Concrete when their driveways crack, their slabs settle unevenly, or their walkways start to sink away from the house. We know the terrain here, the drainage headaches, and how to pour concrete that holds up to our climate and soil.
Concrete in Kenner (70065)
Kenner's residential landscape is dominated by solid 1950s and 1960s brick ranch homes, many rebuilt or elevated after Hurricane Katrina, sitting on narrow lots with tight side-yard access. The real challenge is what's underneath: soft, wet clays and organic marsh soils over a shallow water table. Most of Kenner is at or below sea level, and about 60 inches of rain falls here every year, with near-daily summer thunderstorms that keep the ground saturated. This constant moisture and poor drainage cause concrete slabs to settle unevenly, driveways to crack and spall, and walkways to sink away from pile-supported foundations. Freeze-thaw is almost never a problem here, but humidity, heat, and relentless rain are. Unsealed concrete attracts mildew in weeks, and any crack becomes a water trap that speeds deterioration.
Our team has spent years working in Kenner and across the New Orleans area. We understand how to pour thicker, properly reinforced concrete, how to manage drainage around slabs, and when slab lifting and leveling can save a driveway or walkway before it fails completely. We handle everything from new driveways and patios to emergency concrete repair and slab lifting when subsidence or storm damage leaves your property unsafe.

How a Job Works in Kenner
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (504) 565-2441 or describe the problem, and we come out to look at the concrete, the soil, drainage patterns, and access. On a tight Kenner lot, we check for overhead wires, fences, and neighbor property lines. We talk through your options, give you a realistic estimate, and explain what we'll do and why.
When we start work, we handle site prep, permitting if needed, and the pour or repair itself. On a driveway or patio, that means proper base preparation, reinforcement, and a finish that sheds water. For slab lifting, we use controlled hydraulic pressure to raise sunken concrete back to grade without demolition. We work around your schedule and coordinate with any HOA requirements. Kenner's lot sizes mean we're often working in tight spaces, so we plan access carefully and keep disruption to a minimum.
When we're done, the site is clean, the concrete is set and cured, and we walk you through the finished work. You get a solid, durable surface that's ready for years of use.
Pricing in Kenner depends on the size of the job, ground conditions, access, and what you're starting with. A new concrete driveway runs from $6 per square foot, a patio from $6 per square foot, and decorative or stamped concrete from $10 per square foot. If you need repair or resurfacing, that starts at $3 per square foot. Slab lifting and leveling, which we do a lot of here in Kenner because of subsidence, runs from $4 per square foot. Removal and replacement of failed concrete is from $7 per square foot. The actual cost depends on how big the area is, whether we need to remove old concrete first, how difficult access is on your lot, and soil and drainage conditions. Call us at (504) 565-2441 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess the site, and give you a real number.
