Sod Installation
New sod installed and prepped for Northshore heat, clay soil, and heavy rain.
Whether you are replacing a lawn damaged by disease, drought stress, or construction, or starting fresh on bare soil, sod gives you an established, mature-looking lawn in a fraction of the time seed would take. But success depends heavily on preparation: St. Tammany Parish's clay soil compacts easily and drains slowly, so ground that is not properly graded and amended can leave new sod struggling with poor drainage and shallow root growth from day one.
We prepare the site thoroughly, grading for proper drainage and amending soil so new roots can establish quickly, then install sod varieties suited to your yard's sun exposure and how the space gets used. From there, we guide you through the critical early watering period when new sod is most vulnerable to Louisiana's heat, so your investment takes root and thrives rather than struggling through its first summer.

New sod is one of the fastest ways to transform a struggling yard into a lawn you're proud of, but only when the ground underneath is prepared correctly for our climate and soil. If your lawn needs a fresh start, we can walk your property and map out the right approach.
