Louisiana's climate is tough on outdoor surfaces. High humidity, heavy rainfall, and shifting soils can crack or degrade poorly installed concrete over time. The licensed landscape architects and contractors at Philip Moser Associates, Inc. have been designing and building concrete surfaces in this environment since 1983.
Custom Concrete Finishes and Applications
Custom concrete is a flexible, long-lasting surface choice for patios, driveways, entry walks, pool decks, and outdoor living areas. Philip Moser Associates offers several finish types and slab options, each suited to different design goals and site conditions.
Stamped Concrete replicates the look of stone, brick, or pavers using patterned molds pressed into freshly poured concrete, working well on large patio surfaces or driveway aprons where visual impact matters.
Stained Concrete uses penetrating color treatments to create rich, translucent hues in earth tones, grays, and warm ambers. Stained surfaces are popular for covered patios and pool surrounds throughout neighborhoods like Bocage, Sherwood Forest, and the Garden District.
Scored Concrete involves cutting geometric or freeform patterns into cured concrete to create a tile-like appearance without grout lines, particularly effective on interior-to-exterior transitions common in South Baton Rouge homes.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete with brick detailing combines a textured aggregate surface with brick border accents, a cost-effective approach well suited to larger residential driveways in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Poured Slabs and Entry Walks anchor the sequence from parking area to front door, a design element the team addresses in every residential project.

Why Louisiana's Climate Affects Custom Concrete
High summer temperatures accelerate hydration and can reduce surface strength if the pour is not properly managed. The region's heavy clay soils shift seasonally with moisture changes, making proper base preparation and reinforcement essential before any slab is poured.
Philip Moser Associates designs every project with these realities in mind. LSU-trained landscape architects oversee each installation, from subgrade compaction to curing protocols suited to Baton Rouge's heat and humidity.
How the Process Works
A single team carries your project from concept to completion, with no handoffs to outside contractors. Here is how the process typically unfolds:
- Consultation and Site Review: The team visits the site, reviews soil conditions, grades, and drainage, and discusses the client's goals and design preferences.
- Design and Planning: A detailed plan is developed, including layout, finish type, color options, and integration with surrounding landscape elements.
- Permit Coordination: When permits are required, the team manages the process.
- Installation: The firm's own crews handle forming, pouring, finishing, and curing. No subcontractors are used.
- Final Walkthrough: The team reviews the completed surface with the client before the project is closed out.
