Fresh to Your Driveway

Fresh Sod Supplied to Metairie Driveways

We supply sod to Metairie and all of Jefferson Parish through our family of Louisiana sod farms. Your pallet gets cut the morning it leaves, loaded straight off the cutter from the farm closest to your address (most Metairie deliveries route from across Lake Pontchartrain), and dropped on your driveway the same day. No middleman markup. No big-box garden center sitting time.

Todd Broussard runs statewide delivery for Louisiana Sod Farms. His routes hit every major sod-growing region in Louisiana, including the historic Tangipahoa farms that supply most of Greater New Orleans. He knows which farm is cutting which variety on any given Tuesday, which is why same-week delivery into Metairie is standard rather than a promise.

Metairie sits in USDA Zone 9a, hot humid summers, mild winters, 65+ inches of rain a year, with most yards on alluvial silty clay loam carried in by the Mississippi River. The Metairie Ridge drains better than the low interior near Veterans Memorial. Old Metairie's oak canopy changes the sun pattern street by street. We pick your grass variety around your specific yard, not a generic chart. Send your zip and we will tell you straight.

Match to Your Yard

Best Grass Pick for Your Metairie Yard

Every yard in Metairie is a little different, especially with the oak canopy in Old Metairie and the more open lots out in Lakeside. Here is how we match grass to your situation so you are not guessing. The LSU AgCenter turfgrass guide is a solid second opinion if you want one.

  • Family yard with kids or dogs: Empire Zoysia. Common in newer Lakeside, Bonnabel, and Greenacres subdivisions where yards see real foot traffic.
  • Full-sun commercial or open lot: TifTuf Bermuda. Right pick for open commercial lots along Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Airline Drive, and the few residential lots without canopy shade.
  • Shaded lot under mature oaks: Classic St. Augustine, Floratam or Palmetto. Floratam for partial shade, Palmetto for deep shade.
  • Chronic wet spot near drainage canal: Carpetgrass. Niche pick that handles standing water that drowns other varieties.

Not sure which one fits your yard? Send us your zip code and a few photos. We will tell you straight.

St. Augustine handles Metairie's mix of sun and oak shade better than anything else, especially in Old Metairie and along the older streets near Metairie Road. Floratam is the workhorse, Palmetto holds up best in the deepest shade. Empire Zoysia is the pick for newer Lakeside and Greenacres subdivisions where yards see more sun and traffic. For chronic wet spots near drainage canals, Carpetgrass is the niche pick. Centipede and Bahia are not common picks for Metairie's alkaline clay.

Yes. Metairie is core Greater New Orleans delivery territory. Call by noon and your sod typically arrives within the same week from the closest Louisiana sod farm growing your variety, most often routed across Lake Pontchartrain from Tangipahoa or the Northshore. Same-day is possible on early-morning calls when your variety is in season.

Two to three weeks in most Metairie soil with proper watering. Water twice a day for the first ten days, then taper off. Spring and fall installs root fastest. Watch for low spots that hold water, since the high water table across most of Jefferson Parish can drown new sod if drainage is not addressed first.

Yes. Contractor and builder discount kicks in at five or more pallets per order. NET 30 terms available for qualified accounts. Recurring delivery scheduling for ongoing Metairie projects. Worksite drop coordination for new construction across Jefferson Parish and the Westbank. Call to set up an account.
