Concrete
Driveways, walkways, pool decks, and foundations — engineered for Louisiana soil and built to last.
Concrete
Concrete is the foundation of everything we build — literally. Your pool deck, patio, driveway, walkway, and even the footing for your pergola all start with proper concrete work. At Blue Tide Exteriors, we don't treat concrete as an afterthought — we engineer it as the base layer of your entire outdoor living system.
We pour decorative concrete, exposed aggregate, broom-finished, and decorative concrete. Every pour starts with proper site prep: excavation to depth, compacted stone base, steel reinforcement (rebar or wire mesh), and control joints engineered for Louisiana's shifting ground conditions. Skip any of these steps and your concrete will crack, settle, or fail.
As a full-service contractor with a heavy construction license, we also handle structural concrete — footings, foundations, retaining walls, and slabs. Whether you need a decorative pool deck or a engineered foundation for a screen enclosure, we have the license, the crew, and the expertise.
Driveways, walkways, patios, and foundations — stamped, stained, or brushed, all built to Louisiana code.

Why Blue Tide
Every project is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty and 24 years of combined construction experience.
Concrete stamped to mimic stone, brick, slate, or wood. Integral color, release agents, and premium sealer. Unlimited patterns and color combinations.
Heat-resistant, slip-resistant pool decks designed to handle Louisiana sun and pool chemicals. Stamped, exposed aggregate, or spray-deck finishes.
Engineered for vehicle loads with proper base, reinforcement, and joint spacing. Broom finish for traction or stamped for curb appeal.
Louisiana's ground expands and contracts with moisture. We engineer base, reinforcement, and joints to handle this movement and prevent cracking.
Our labor-only heavy construction license means we can handle structural concrete — footings, retaining walls, foundations. Not just flatwork.
Every concrete pour is engineered with proper slope and drainage. Water management is critical in Louisiana — we build it in from the base up.

Our Promise
We stand behind every pool, patio, kitchen, and pergola we build — for life. Not a prorated 10-year warranty. Not a "good luck" handshake. A real, written Lifetime Workmanship Warranty from a company founded in 2018 with 24 years of combined construction experience.
“They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.”
“Blue tide did an amazing job on my front deck! Great customer service — they went the extra mile to make sure my deck was perfect.”
“So appreciative of Jordan and his team. Super efficient and very reasonable for the work required.”
