Trusted Outdoor Living Contractors in Gretna Louisiana
Builders of the South builds outdoor living spaces across Gretna — covered patios in Old Gretna, outdoor kitchens in Timberlane, and backyard retreats in McDonoghville. West Bank backyards get intense afternoon sun, heavy rain, and warm evenings most of the year — the right shade, drainage, and materials turn them into the most-used room of the house.

ABOUT US
Gretna backyards have real potential — deep lots in Timberlane, shaded yards under the oaks of Old Gretna, and patio space in McDonoghville that most homeowners barely use. Builders of the South designs and builds outdoor spaces for how West Bank families actually live: shaded, drained, and built to handle Louisiana heat and rain.
CORE SERVICES
Patio Design & Installation
Custom patios in concrete, pavers, and stone — designed around your yard, your shade, and how you entertain, with drainage graded for Gretna’s flat lots.
Covered Patios & Pergolas
Covered patios and pergolas that make your backyard usable through the West Bank’s summer sun and afternoon showers.
Outdoor Kitchen Installation
Built-in grills, counters, storage, and sinks — outdoor kitchens made for crawfish boils, Saints Sundays, and family gatherings in Gretna.
Fire Pits & Backyard Features
Fire pits, seating areas, lighting, and hardscaping features that turn an ordinary Gretna yard into the favorite room of the house.
BENEFITS OF OUR LOCAL SERVICES
More Months Outdoors
Shade, cover, and drainage stretch Gretna’s outdoor season through nearly the whole year.
Built for Gretna Soil & Rain
Bases, footings, and slopes designed for West Bank clay and heavy downpours, so patios don’t settle or puddle.
Higher Home Value
Finished outdoor living space is one of the most requested upgrades in the Gretna housing market.
Entertaining Space
Room for the grill, the boil pot, and the whole family — designed around how you host.
3-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our outdoor construction is backed in writing.
SERVICE AREAS
We build outdoor living spaces throughout Gretna, including Old Gretna, McDonoghville, and Timberlane, plus Harvey, Marrero, Westwego, and Terrytown. ZIP codes served include 70053 and 70056.
PROS & CONS
Pros
Expanded Living Space
A covered patio or outdoor kitchen adds a true extra room to your Gretna home.
Increased Property Appeal
Finished backyards photograph better, show better, and sell better.
Better Outdoor Functionality
Shade, drainage, and layout turn an underused yard into daily living space.
Cons
Initial Construction Investment
Quality outdoor construction costs more upfront than DIY kits — and lasts far longer.
Weather-Dependent Scheduling
Concrete and framing work is scheduled around West Bank rain.
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SERVICE
On the West Bank, outdoor projects fail from the ground up: patios poured on unprepared clay settle and crack, covers without proper footings shift, and flat lots hold water against the slab. Professional design and construction — base preparation, drainage, and materials chosen for Louisiana — are what separate a backyard that lasts decades from one that needs replacing in five years.
