Maurice's south-side subdivisions are built on flat, wet prairie with brick homes, wide driveways, and backyard pools and patios that draw families to the area year-round. Lafayette Concrete serves Maurice (70555) and the surrounding Lafayette area with concrete work that stands up to our local climate and soil.

We know Maurice lots. They sit slab-on-grade on silty loam over dense clay that shrinks and swells with summer drought and winter rain. Your driveway, patio, or pool deck cracks and settles because of it, and we fix that problem the right way. When neighbors call us, it's usually because their concrete has started to move, spall, or sink, and they need it addressed before it gets worse or creates a trip hazard.

Concrete in Maurice (70555)

Maurice sits on the flat coastal prairie south of Lafayette, where the Vermilion River and the coulees keep the water table high and the ground soft and poorly drained. Almost every house here is built slab-on-grade, which means your foundation sits directly on that clay subsoil. In summer, heat and drought pull moisture out of the clay, and it shrinks. In winter and during our 60 inches of annual rainfall, the clay swells and pushes back up. That movement cracks concrete, breaks joints, and settles slabs unevenly. Add heavy summer thunderstorms, flash flooding, and hurricane-season rain (we remember Rita, Laura, and Delta), and you've got a recipe for concrete that needs real repair, not a band-aid.

Our team has worked driveways, patios, pool decks, and foundations in Maurice subdivisions for years. We understand the lot shapes, the access constraints in newer neighborhoods, the HOA rules, and the permit requirements. We know how to compact a base right so your new concrete stays level, and how to seal it so mildew and algae don't stain it in our humid summers.

How a Job Works in Maurice

We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (337) 273-0928, describe the problem, and we schedule a time to walk your property, measure it, check the grade and drainage, and talk through your options. If your driveway is cracked and settling, we'll tell you whether it's repair, resurfacing, or full replacement. If your patio or pool deck needs work, we'll discuss finishes, drainage, and any HOA or setback requirements. No pressure, no estimate over the phone.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. For driveways and patios in Maurice subdivisions, we coordinate with neighbors if needed, manage any local permits (curb cuts, right-of-way, or setback clearance), and make sure we have clear access. If it's a repair or resurfacing, we remove the old concrete carefully, prep the base, and pour or resurface to grade. For new work, we set forms, compact the base, pour, finish, and cure properly. Summer heat means we may work early or late to avoid the worst of the day.

When we're done, we clean up thoroughly. You walk the property with us, and we make sure you're satisfied before we leave.

Concrete work in Maurice runs on square footage and scope. A basic driveway or patio starts around $6 per square foot, but that depends on size, access, existing conditions, and finish. Stamped or decorative concrete runs $10 per square foot and up. Repair and resurfacing start at $3 per square foot for smaller jobs. Pool decks, which are steady work in Maurice subdivisions, run $8 per square foot for standard finishes. A 500-square-foot driveway might run $3,000 to $3,500 for standard concrete; a 400-square-foot patio with a decorative finish could be $4,000 to $4,500. Sealing, which we recommend every 2 to 3 years in our climate, runs about $0.75 per square foot. The real cost drivers are site access (tight lots cost more), the condition of what's underneath (bad base prep leads to failure), and urgency (storm damage or a sunken slab that's a trip hazard may need fast turnaround). Call us at (337) 273-0928 for a free estimate on your specific job.

Why does my driveway crack and settle every few years, even though it's only 10 years old?

Maurice sits on clay subsoil that swells when it's wet (winter, heavy rain, hurricane season) and shrinks when it's dry (summer heat). That movement pushes your slab up and down, cracking it at the joints and edges. If the base wasn't compacted properly when it was poured, settlement happens faster. We see this constantly in Maurice subdivisions. The fix is proper base prep on any new work, good drainage to shed water away from the slab, and sealing to slow water absorption into the concrete itself.

My patio is starting to sink on one side and create a trip hazard. Can you fix it without tearing it out?

Yes. Concrete leveling and slab lifting can raise a settled patio back to grade for about $4 per square foot, which is much cheaper than removal and replacement. We inject material under the slab to lift it back level. That works well for patios on stable ground. If the underlying soil is too soft or the patio is badly cracked, replacement may be the better long-term choice. Call us at (337) 273-0928 and we'll assess it in person.

What does a concrete pool deck cost in Maurice, and how do you keep it from getting slippery or stained?

A standard concrete pool deck runs about $8 per square foot, so a 300-square-foot deck would be roughly $2,400. A 500-square-foot deck runs around $4,000. We finish pool decks with a non-slip surface to prevent slips when wet. After 2 to 3 years in our humid climate, mildew and algae will stain unsealed concrete, so we recommend sealing at about $0.75 per square foot. Sealing also makes cleaning easier and protects the concrete from water absorption and freeze-thaw damage (though freezes are rare here, heavy rain and humidity do their own damage).

Do I need a permit to replace my driveway or build a patio in Maurice?

Yes. Maurice and Lafayette require permits for driveway work if it involves a curb cut or touches the right-of-way. Patios and pool decks may need permits depending on size, location, and HOA rules in your subdivision. Setback and width limits apply. We handle permit coordination as part of our job. When you call us at (337) 273-0928, we'll walk through what's required for your specific property.

My subdivision has an HOA. Will they approve concrete work on my patio and pool deck?

Most HOAs in Maurice subdivisions approve concrete patios and pool decks as long as they meet setback requirements and don't alter the home's exterior appearance in a major way. Decorative or stamped concrete sometimes needs approval. We've worked with Maurice HOAs before and can help you understand the rules and coordinate approval if needed. Bring your HOA guidelines when we do the site visit, or share them when you call (337) 273-0928.

Are you fully insured for work at my Maurice property?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Louisiana law requires contractors to carry workers' compensation, and we maintain both coverages to protect you and our team. Ask us for proof of insurance when we give you the estimate.

What should I do to maintain my concrete in Maurice's heat and humidity?

Seal it every 2 to 3 years. Our humidity and frequent rain mean mildew and algae stain unsealed concrete fast, especially on patios and pool decks. Sealing slows water absorption and makes cleaning easier. In summer, watch for cracks opening up as the ground dries out. In winter and during heavy rain, check for standing water around the edges of driveways and slabs, which means drainage needs work. Keep gutters clean so runoff doesn't pool against the concrete. If you see a crack starting, call us early. Small repairs cost far less than waiting until the slab settles or the crack spreads.
