Terrebonne ParishFrom the historic downtown blocks to the newer subdivisions out toward Schriever, your Houma yard has a grass that fits.
The Local Story
Houma is the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish and the heart of bayou country, set where Bayou Terrebonne, Bayou Black, Bayou Little Caillou, Bayou Grand Caillou, and Bayou Petit Caillou converge. The historic downtown blocks along Main Street and Park Avenue carry mature live oak canopy. Newer subdivisions out toward Schriever, Gray, and Bayou Cane run sunnier with limited tree cover, and the working-water neighborhoods toward Dulac and Chauvin sit at very low elevation.
The consistent challenge in Houma is drainage. Heavy clay soils, frequent storms, and elevations near or below sea level mean yards stay wet longer than yards in higher-elevation Louisiana. Tree cover varies hard between blocks, with oaks intact in the older central neighborhoods and open sun out in the subdivision phases. Each profile wants a different grass.

Yard Readiness

Bare or thin patches you want filled fast
Old grass that has been declining for a season or more
New construction lawn with no turf in place
A re-grade or drainage project that left bare soil
Storm or freeze damage from a recent Louisiana cold snap
Hold off if:
The current lawn just needs water and fertilizer to recover
You have an active drainage problem. Fix the drainage first.
The site is still under heavy construction. Wait for the prep to finish.

Historic downtown Houma blocks with mature oaks call for Palmetto St. Augustine. Newer Schriever and Bayou Cane subdivisions work better with Bermuda or Zoysia. We pick the grass for your lot, not the other way around.

Lawn Care
Caring for a Terrebonne Parish Lawn
Care Basics
Drainage, Shade, Heat
Houma soil is heavy clay alluvium, much of it sitting at or below sea level in the bayou floodplain. Drainage is the central concern. Heavy clay holds water, and frequent storms keep the surface wet. Cut back watering frequency once the lawn establishes, and watch for soggy low spots. Shaded yards need less water and a raised mowing height. Watch for chinch bugs and brown patch in the humid summer months. After a hard freeze (rare but real), give the grass time before deciding it is dead. Warm-season grasses usually come back in April.
