Westbank Jefferson ParishFrom the original 1960s subdivision blocks to newer south-end lots, your Terrytown yard has a grass that fits.
The Local Story
Terrytown is one of the youngest planned communities in Jefferson Parish. Developer Paul Kapelow opened it on March 5, 1960, and named it after his daughter Terry. The town sits on the Westbank just south of New Orleans, bordered by Gretna to the west, Timberlane to the south, and Belle Chasse across the parish line in Plaquemines.
Because Terrytown was built as a subdivision in the early 1960s, lots here are uniform in size, the streets follow a planned grid, and elevation runs about three feet below sea level. The original tree canopy has matured along Terry Parkway and Carol Sue Avenue, so older interior blocks now carry meaningful shade. Newer south-end lots near Behrman Highway stay sunnier. Soil here is heavy clay alluvium, and managed drainage matters everywhere on the Westbank.

Why Westbank Jefferson Parish Locals Trust Orleans Sod
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 Terrytown, Gretna, and Belle Chasse routes are weekly, which means we know how the original 1960s plantings have matured and which blocks now run shaded versus open.
Older Terrytown lots interior to Terry Parkway call for Palmetto St. Augustine. Newer south-end lots near Behrman Highway 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
Terrytown soil is heavy clay alluvium with organic matter, the same Mississippi River floodplain profile that runs through the Westbank. Lots sit about three feet below sea level, so drainage was built into the original 1960 subdivision plat. That holds water longer than sand, so 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.
