About Marrero

Marrero Yards: What Works, What Fails

St. John Bosco Catholic Church facade in Marrero, Louisiana
Westbank Jefferson Parish From older in-town blocks to newer subdivisions, your Marrero yard has a grass that fits.
The Local Story

Marrero sits on the Westbank of the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish, bordered by Harvey to the east and Westwego to the west, directly across the river from New Orleans. The area was first mapped as Amesville after Boston businessman Oakes Ames, who bought the land after the Civil War. The U.S. Postmaster officially renamed it Marrero in 1916 to honor Louis H. Marrero, who founded the Marrero Land Company.

Marrero runs from older in-town blocks near Fourth Street and Ames Boulevard, where Catholic landmarks like St. John Bosco anchor the historic core, out to newer suburban subdivisions south of Lapalco Boulevard. Older blocks have more shade and tighter lots; newer subdivisions get full sun and wider yards. Soil here is heavy clay with high organic matter, so drainage and grass selection both matter.

Palisades Zoysia sod for mixed-sun yards in Marrero

Tifway 419 Bermuda sod for full-sun Marrero yards

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 Westbank Jefferson 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 Westbank Jefferson Parish yards based on shade level and soil drainage. Our Marrero, Harvey, and Westwego routes are weekly, which means we know the drainage profile, soil type, and lot character of every block on the Westbank.

Older Marrero blocks near St. John Bosco usually call for Palmetto St. Augustine. Newer subdivisions south of Lapalco work better with Bermuda or Zoysia. We pick the grass for your lot, not the other way around.

Lawn Care

Caring for a Westbank Jefferson Parish Lawn

Care Basics

Drainage, Shade, Heat

Marrero soil is heavy clay with organic matter, and lots of it. The Westbank historically sat on Mississippi River floodplain, so drainage and water retention both matter for new sod. Cut back watering frequency once the lawn establishes. 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.
