Marrero's 1960s and 1970s brick ranches sit on soft West Bank clay, and every year the driveways and patios tilt a little more toward the street. New Orleans Concrete knows this problem by heart, and we've spent years fixing it for homeowners in ZIP 70072 and across the New Orleans area.
When your driveway cracks, your patio settles, or your walkway becomes a trip hazard, you need a concrete contractor who understands why it happened in the first place. That's us. We're based in New Orleans, we work in Marrero constantly, and we know the ground here the way most contractors know their own neighborhoods.
Concrete in Marrero (70072)
Marrero sits on soft clay and organic marsh soils over a shallow water table. Unlike drier climates where concrete fails from freeze-thaw cycles, your concrete fails from settling, subsidence, and uneven load transfer as the ground beneath it shifts and compresses over time. The brick ranches here were built on slab-on-grade foundations, and sixty inches of annual rainfall, near-daily summer thunderstorms, and the region's heavy humidity all accelerate the breakdown. Your driveway doesn't just crack, it sinks. Your patio doesn't just get old, it tilts. Sidewalks heave and break under live oak roots and the constant pressure from below.
We've spent years serving Marrero homeowners and property managers with concrete repair, slab lifting, patios, driveways, and complete resurfacing work. We understand the terrain, the building stock, the lot constraints (those narrow side yards are tight), and the permit requirements from the City of New Orleans. When we show up, we know what we're looking at.

How a Job Works in Marrero
We start with a free on-site assessment. Call us at (504) 565-2441 or reach out online, and we'll visit your property in Marrero to look at the concrete, probe the ground, check drainage, and understand what's actually happening. We'll show you photos, explain the problem in plain language, and give you a realistic estimate with no surprises.
Then we do the work. For a sunken driveway, that might mean slab lifting (also called mudjacking), where we pump material beneath the slab to raise it back to grade and close the gap. For a cracked or spalling patio, we might resurface it or pour a new one. For a settled walkway, we lift it or replace it. We coordinate with the city on permits if needed, work around your neighbors and your property lines, and time the job so weather and curing conditions work in our favor. Marrero's summer heat and humidity can speed concrete set times, and we account for that in our scheduling.
When we're done, we clean up completely. You get a solid, level, properly drained concrete surface that will last years longer than it would have if we'd just patched it.
Pricing depends on the job, the size of the area, access, the current condition of the concrete, and how urgently you need it fixed. A concrete repair or resurfacing job in Marrero typically runs from $3 to $5 per square foot. A new patio or driveway starts around $6 per square foot. Slab lifting is usually $4 per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete runs $10 per square foot or more. For a 400-square-foot driveway, you're looking at roughly $2,400 to $2,800 for a straightforward pour. A sunken patio of 300 square feet might cost $900 to $1,500 to lift and level. Sealing to protect your investment is $0.75 per square foot. The best way to know what your specific project costs is to call us for a free estimate at (504) 565-2441. We'll measure, assess, and give you a firm number before we start.
