Fresh to Your Driveway

Fresh Sod Delivered to Opelousas Driveways

We deliver sod to Opelousas and all of St. Landry Parish from our family of Louisiana sod farms. Your pallet gets cut the morning it leaves, loaded straight off the cutter, and dropped on your Opelousas driveway the same day. No middleman markup. No retail garden center sitting time.

Todd Broussard runs statewide delivery for Louisiana Sod Farms. He has spent years supplying sod across every major growing region in Louisiana, including the farms that supply most of Acadiana. Same-week delivery is standard. Same-day is possible on early-morning calls when your variety is in season.

Opelousas sits in USDA Zone 9a, hot humid summers, mild winters, 60+ inches of rain a year. Soil across St. Landry Parish runs Acadiana silty loam mixed with clay in parts, generally well-draining across most of the parish, with heavier clay along bayou corridors. 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 Opelousas Yard

Every yard in Opelousas is a little different. 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. Holds up to kids and dogs better than anything else we supply. Common in newer South Opelousas subdivisions.
  • Full-sun new subdivision: TifTuf Bermuda. Drought resistant. Best for open commercial lots along I-49, US-190, and the new builds out toward Sunset.
  • Older lot with shade: Classic St. Augustine, Palmetto for the deep shade under Downtown Opelousas's mature live oaks, Floratam for mixed-sun lots in established neighborhoods.
  • Low-maintenance rural property: Common Centipede for rural St. Landry Parish out toward Plaisance and Lebeau. Slower grower, fewer mowings, tolerant of the acidic sandy soil common in rural Acadiana.

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