Kenner is Jefferson Parish's biggest city, boxed in by Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River, and the airport, and it is built out. The city's own master plan says almost every parcel is already developed, and nearly the whole city sits inside the 100-year floodplain, mapped Zone AE. The ground is former wetland that compacts as it drains, and researchers measured the fastest sinking in the metro right at the airport after the new terminal went in. In practice that means one thing for property owners: concrete and drainage in Kenner wear out from below, and the fixes have to start with the ground.
W2 Commercial Construction handles that work across Kenner, from Chateau Estates and University City down to the older blocks by Rivertown. We are a licensed Louisiana contractor (LA Lic# 78829) based in Covington, one Causeway crossing and a short run down I-10. We replace settled driveways, slabs, patios, and sidewalks, install French drains and yard drainage, and build fences and decks made for soft, wet lots. Kenner also permits this work more tightly than most cities, and we build that into every job.
Most Kenner homes went up in the 1960s through the 1980s, on lots drained out of wetland soil that keeps compacting underneath them. Fifty-year-old driveways on that ground settle, pitch toward the slab, and crack. We break out the failed concrete, rebuild the base with compacted material, and pour new driveways, garage slabs, patios, and walkways with proper steel, joints, and slope, so the new work handles the movement the old work could not.
The city checks that the job is done right, and so do we. Kenner requires a permit for cement work of any kind, routes driveway aprons and curb cuts through its Public Works department, caps front-yard paving at 40 percent of the yard, and requires a grade certificate before final inspection on projects in its flood zones. That is more process than most metro cities, and it exists because grade and drainage genuinely decide how long concrete lasts here. We carry the permits, meet the elevations, and hand you the paperwork at the end.
Kenner drains uphill, mechanically. Rain that lands here gets pumped out, and the system is rated for roughly an inch of rain in the first hour. Storms have repeatedly delivered far more, seven inches in about two hours during the June 2026 event, and Hurricane Francine flooded homes here in 2024. While the parish adds pump capacity, the lever a homeowner controls is the lot itself. We regrade yards, install surface drainage and French drains, and set hard surfaces at slopes that shed water away from the house, which keeps the gap between street flooding and slab flooding as wide as possible.
We also replace the fences that metro storm cycles chew up, in wood, vinyl, chain-link, aluminum, and privacy styles. Kenner requires a permit for fences and restricts materials by ordinance, and wet ground argues for deeper post settings with drainage gravel, so we handle both the code and the dirt. For outdoor living on lots this flat, a deck built above the grade often beats a slab-level patio, and we build those too, from Chateau Estates to the lakefront blocks near Laketown.
