Trusted Outdoor Living Contractors in Metairie Louisiana
Builders of the South designs and builds outdoor living spaces across Metairie — from lakefront homes in Bucktown and Pontchartrain Shores to family backyards in Bonnabel and Old Metairie. We’re based right here in Metairie, and we build for the way people here actually live outside: crawfish boils, Saints Sundays, and long evenings that don’t cool down until October.

PROS & CONS
Pros
Expanded living space
A true second living room, outdoors.
Durable construction
Materials and methods chosen for Gulf weather.
Custom design
Built around your yard, trees, and drainage — not a kit.
Cons
Upfront investment
Quality outdoor construction costs more than DIY kits and lasts far longer.
Weather-dependent scheduling
Concrete and excavation work shifts with heavy rain.
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SERVICE
Metairie’s flat terrain and heavy rainfall punish poorly built patios: slabs poured on unprepared soil crack and settle within a few seasons. Professional base preparation, reinforcement, and drainage design are what separate a patio that lasts decades from one that becomes a trip hazard. Done right, an outdoor space also adds real appraised value to a Metairie home.
