Louisiana-grown sod delivered direct across St. Bernard Parish. From Chalmette to the smallest rural roads, cut fresh per order. Same-week delivery. Contractor pricing on volume.
St. Bernard Parish covers 1,648 square miles in NOLA Metro, with approximately 44,000 residents and Chalmette as parish seat. The parish economy runs on the Domino Sugar refinery, oil refining at Marathon and Valero, fishing and shrimping, post-Katrina rebuild construction, and healthcare. St. Bernard Parish was settled by Canary Islanders (Isleños) in the 1770s and named for Bernardo de Galvez. The parish was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and has been rebuilding since.
Todd Broussard runs statewide delivery for Louisiana Sod Farms. We supply sod to every St. Bernard 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.
St. Bernard 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 coastal alluvial soils, heavily organic, with most of the parish sitting below sea level, heavy clay and peat content, and drainage being a daily reality not an afterthought across most of St. Bernard. We pick your grass variety around your specific yard and zip code, not a generic chart.
We deliver sod to every city, town, and unincorporated community in St. Bernard Parish from Arabi on the Orleans line to the fishing communities of Delacroix and Yscloskey. Call for a quote.
Four varieties cut fresh from our family of Louisiana sod farms. Picked for St. Bernard Parish soil, climate, and the way folks here use their yards.
The default pick across St. Bernard Parish. Floratam for mixed sun and the alkaline organic clay common in Chalmette, Meraux, Arabi, and Violet. Palmetto for deep oak shade where it still stands.
View St. AugustineEmpire Zoysia works on the slightly higher elevations near the river in Chalmette and Arabi. Struggles in the lower below-sea-level neighborhoods.
View ZoysiaNiche pick for full-sun commercial along Judge Perez Drive and St. Bernard Highway. Most St. Bernard Parish has too much salt and shade for Bermuda to thrive.
View BermudaNot a St. Bernard Parish pick. The alkaline organic clay does not match Centipede's preference for acidic sandy soil.
View CentipedeEvery yard across St. Bernard Parish is a little different. Yards in Chalmette run different from rural Yscloskey or Delacroix, 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.

St. Augustine dominates St. Bernard Parish for the same reasons it dominates Orleans, the heavy alkaline organic clay favors it. Floratam is the standard across Chalmette, Meraux, Arabi, and Violet. Palmetto holds up in the deep oak shade still standing in older streets. Empire Zoysia works on the slightly higher elevations near the river. Bermuda needs more sun and less salt than most St. Bernard yards offer. Centipede is the wrong fit for the alkaline organic soil here.
Same-week delivery is standard across St. Bernard 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. St. Bernard soil sits heavy and below sea level in much of the parish, so watch for low spots that pond and never let new sod sit in standing water.
