Houma Yards: What Works, What Fails

Pallets of sod for delivery to Houma and Terrebonne Parish yards
Terrebonne Parish From 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

Is Your Yard Ready for Sod?

Order sod if your yard has:

  • 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.
  • Soil is full of debris or roots. Clear it before sod arrives.

From Our Crew

Why Terrebonne Parish Locals Trust Orleans Sod

St. Augustine grass growing in the field at Orleans Sod farm
Local Knowledge

LSU AgCenter recommends warm-season grasses (St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Centipede) for Terrebonne Parish yards based on shade level and soil drainage. Our Houma, Bayou Cane, Schriever, and Gray routes are scheduled in advance, which keeps the freshness window tight on the longer drive.

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.
