Parish-Wide Coverage

Sod Across Orleans Parish

Orleans Parish covers 350 square miles in NOLA Metro, with approximately 384,000 residents and New Orleans as parish seat. The parish economy runs on tourism, the Port of New Orleans, healthcare anchored by Ochsner and University Medical Center, oil and gas services, conventions, and education at Tulane, Loyola, UNO, and Xavier. New Orleans was founded in 1718 by the French and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Orleans Parish is coterminous with the city of New Orleans.

Todd Broussard runs statewide delivery for Louisiana Sod Farms. We supply sod to every Orleans Parish address from our family of Louisiana sod farms. Your pallet gets cut the morning it leaves, loaded straight off the cutter, and dropped on your driveway the same day. No middleman markup. No retail garden center sitting time.

Orleans Parish sits in USDA Zone 9a to 9b, humid subtropical with hot humid summers, mild winters, and a long tropical storm season, with 64 inches of rain a year and frost dates running first fall frost late December, last spring frost late February. Soil across the parish runs organic, low-lying alluvial soils, mostly heavy clay with significant peat content in Lakeview, Gentilly, and lower-elevation neighborhoods, with most yards sitting at or below sea level, and drainage being the dominant constraint across the parish. We pick your grass variety around your specific yard and zip code, not a generic chart.

Grass Types

Best Grass Types for Orleans Parish Soil

Four varieties cut fresh from our family of Louisiana sod farms. Picked for Orleans Parish soil, climate, and the way folks here use their yards.

St. Augustine

The default pick across Orleans Parish. Floratam for mixed sun and the alkaline organic clay common across most New Orleans neighborhoods. Palmetto for deep oak shade in Garden District, Uptown, and Audubon Park area.

View St. Augustine

Zoysia

Empire Zoysia works on the higher elevations like Esplanade Ridge, Algiers Point, and the slightly raised lots in Lakeview and Gentilly. Struggles in below-sea-level neighborhoods that flood frequently.

View Zoysia

Bermuda

Niche pick for full-sun commercial along Veterans area and a few full-sun residential lots. Most Orleans Parish has too much shade and too much salt for Bermuda to thrive.

Centipede

Not a Orleans Parish pick. The alkaline organic clay does not match Centipede's preference for acidic sandy soil. Wrong fit for almost every New Orleans yard.

Match to Your Yard

Best Grass Pick for Your Orleans Parish Yard

Every yard across Orleans Parish is a little different. Yards in New Orleans run different from rural New Orleans East or Venetian Isles, and the soil shifts as you move across the parish. Here is how we match grass to your specific situation. The LSU AgCenter turfgrass guide is a solid second opinion if you want one.

Family yard with kids or dogs: Floratam St. Augustine. Holds up to kids and dogs in Orleans Parish soil, handles the climate, and tolerates the foot traffic. Standard across family neighborhoods.
Full-sun new subdivision: TifTuf Bermuda for the rare full-sun lots and commercial properties. For most full-sun residential, Floratam St. Augustine still wins because of soil chemistry.
Older lot with mature shade: Palmetto St. Augustine. Best pick for the deep live-oak shade common in Garden District, Uptown, Audubon Park area, and the historic streets.
Low-maintenance rural property: Most of Orleans Parish is urban. For the rural-style lots in New Orleans East or Venetian Isles, Floratam St. Augustine still fits better than rural varieties.

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

St. Augustine dominates Orleans Parish for one reason, it handles the heavy organic alkaline clay better than anything else. Floratam is the standard across most New Orleans neighborhoods. Palmetto holds up in the deep shade of Garden District and Uptown live oaks. Empire Zoysia works on the higher elevations like Esplanade Ridge and Algiers Point but struggles in the lowest below-sea-level neighborhoods. Bermuda needs more sun and less salt than most Orleans yards offer. Centipede is a poor fit for the alkaline organic soil here.

Same-week delivery is standard across Orleans Parish when you call by noon. Same-day is possible on early-morning calls when your variety is in season. Routes from the closest Louisiana sod farm growing your variety, not from a warehouse. Orleans Parish soil sits heavy and wet, so watch for low spots that pond and never let new sod sit in standing water. The high water table can drown new sod if drainage is not addressed first.

Recurring delivery scheduling for ongoing Orleans Parish projects, including new construction in New Orleans and surrounding subdivisions. Worksite drop coordination for tract builders.
