Replacing Driveways on the West Bank
Asphalt paving in Marrero is mostly driveway replacement and repair in established neighborhoods. Marrero is an unincorporated census-designated place on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish, between Harvey and Westwego, with about 7.2 square miles of land and 32,382 residents in 2020. Its population peaked at 36,671 in 1990, and much of its housing is from the 1960s through the 1980s.
A name from 1916
The area was first called Amesville, after Boston businessman Oakes Ames. In February 1916 the post office name changed to Marrero, for Louis H. Marrero, a Louisiana politician and who started the Marrero Land Company.
Driveways at the end of their life
Cost guides give asphalt driveways about 15 to 30 years. Many Marrero driveways are well past that. Settled spots near the street, cracks that hold water and edges breaking into the yard all point to a base that needs rebuilding.
Parish permits
As an unincorporated area, Marrero falls under Jefferson Parish. The parish requires a permit for any new, replacement or additional driveway apron on parish right-of-way, through its Department of Engineering. The owner pays to relocate any obstruction, such as a pole or hydrant, to fit a new driveway.
Low ground
