Your home’s curb appeal starts at the street, and a well-designed entryway sets the tone for a welcoming and functional space. At Exterior Designs, we specialize in creating beautiful, practical solutions for driveways, walkways and off-street parking — ensuring safe, level surfaces for homeowners and guests alike.
In New Orleans, off-street parking is a common challenge. Many historic homes were built before cars were a daily necessity, leaving homeowners without dedicated parking spaces or with driveways that no longer meet their needs. Others face problems with existing driveways that are cracked, uneven or poorly designed, leading to difficulty parking, standing water issues or even structural damage over time. If you’ve struggled with navigating a narrow or broken driveway, or if parking on the street has become too inconvenient or unsafe, we can help.
Creating Safe and Functional Parking Spaces
Our goal is to make your home’s entry both attractive and practical. We design and construct driveways that not only complement your home’s architecture but also provide a safe, stable foundation for your vehicles. Whether your property has limited space, challenging terrain or existing damage, we develop solutions tailored to your needs.
- New Driveway Construction: If your home lacks off-street parking, we can create a new driveway designed for modern vehicle sizes, ensuring a smooth and durable surface that will last for years.
- Repairing and Resurfacing Existing Driveways: Cracks, potholes and uneven surfaces can make parking difficult and create tripping hazards. We repair damaged driveways, leveling the ground and ensuring proper drainage to prevent future issues.
- Addressing Drainage Issues: Many New Orleans properties suffer from standing water due to improper grading or poor drainage. We integrate subsurface drainage solutions to redirect water away from your driveway and entryway, preventing pooling and reducing the risk of damage over time.
- Enhancing Walkability: In addition to driveways, we design and construct walkways that connect parking areas to your home’s entrance, giving guests a safe and stable place to walk or stand.
