Regional Notes
Sod for Greater New Orleans Lawns
Climate & Soil
Greater New Orleans sits in USDA hardiness zone 9b, with humid summers, mild winters, and rainfall averaging 60+ inches a year. Soil is mostly alluvial clay, the same soil that built the Mississippi delta, which means most yards drain slowly and run on the heavier, denser side. Coastal humidity, the occasional hard freeze, and named storms shape what kind of grass actually holds up here.
Best Grass by Neighborhood
St. Augustine is the dominant choice across the metro because of its shade tolerance and resilience under live oak canopies common in Uptown, the Garden District, and Old Metairie. Bermuda is the pick for full-sun lawns in newer subdivisions across Kenner and Harvey. Zoysia bridges both: fine-bladed, traffic-tolerant, and increasingly popular in family yards from Marrero to Chalmette. Centipede works well in lower-maintenance properties, especially in acidic-soil pockets across the West Bank and River Parishes.
Storm Damage & Re-Sodding
If your yard had storm damage or a contractor stripped it during construction, we can deliver enough sod to redo the entire property and recommend the variety that fits your sun, soil, and drainage profile. Call 504-342-4424 to talk through it.

Common Questions
What types of sod grass do you deliver?
We grow and deliver four warm-season grasses: St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede. All four are matched to USDA hardiness zone 9b and the Gulf Coast climate. Pallets get cut and loaded the morning of delivery.
What is the minimum sod order?
One pallet, which covers approximately 450 square feet. There is no maximum. We deliver to single-yard homeowners and large-volume builder and landscaper accounts.
How far does Orleans Sod deliver?
We deliver across Greater New Orleans: Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines parishes. Primary delivery cities include New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Harvey, Gretna, Marrero, Harahan, and Chalmette. Outside that radius? Call us at 504-342-4424 and we will check the route.
How long has Orleans Sod been in business?
Since 2014. More than 11 years serving Greater New Orleans homeowners, builders, and landscapers.
Do you install sod or only deliver?
Both. You can order sod by the pallet and install it yourself, or book our crew for full installation including ground prep, grading, and post-install care guidance.
What USDA hardiness zone is New Orleans in?
New Orleans and most of the Greater New Orleans area sits in USDA plant hardiness zone 9b. All four of our grasses (St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Centipede) are well-suited to this zone, with long humid summers and mild winters. Bermuda and Zoysia handle hard freezes the best if a rare cold snap hits.
How often should I mow a new sod lawn?
Wait two to three weeks after installation before the first mow, once the roots have knit into the soil. After that: Bermuda about once a week at 1 to 1.5 inches; Zoysia every 7 to 10 days at 1.5 to 2 inches; St. Augustine about once a week at 2.5 to 4 inches; Centipede every 10 to 14 days at 1.5 to 2 inches. Never remove more than a third of the blade in one mowing.
Which grass is best for a New Orleans yard with kids and pets?
Zoysia is the most family-friendly pick. It is soft underfoot, recovers quickly from foot traffic, and handles partial shade. Bermuda is also a strong choice if your yard gets full sun and you want fast-establishing turf. For shady yards under live oak canopies, St. Augustine is the better fit.
What about wet or low-lying yards?
Several Greater New Orleans neighborhoods sit on poorly drained clay soil with seasonal flooding. St. Augustine handles brief wet conditions better than the other three options because of its deep root structure and tolerance for humidity. For chronic wet spots, fix the drainage first; sod alone will not solve a standing-water problem. We can advise during your quote call.
When is the best time to plant sod in Louisiana?
Sod can be installed year-round in Louisiana, but spring through early fall (March through October) is the best window for establishment. Roots knit fastest when soil temperatures are 65 to 80 degrees. Winter installs work but establish slower. If you need a finished lawn by a specific date, we recommend ordering at least three to four weeks in advance for spring or fall slots.
