Trusted Outdoor Living Contractors in New Orleans Louisiana
Builders of the South creates outdoor living spaces across New Orleans — Uptown, the Garden District, Lakeview, Gentilly, Mid-City, and Algiers. Outdoor space here has its own tradition: the New Orleans courtyard. Behind shotgun houses and Creole cottages across the city are small, private outdoor rooms that most owners underuse.

IMPORTANCE OF THIS SERVICE
New Orleans receives over 60 inches of rain a year, and many of its homes sit at or below street level. Outdoor surfaces built without serious drainage planning heave, crack, and hold standing water that breeds mosquitoes and damages foundations. Professional design turns the city’s toughest condition into an asset — a courtyard that drains, stays beautiful, and gets used in every season.
