Jefferson ParishFrom Rivertown shade to University City sun, your Kenner yard has a grass that fits.
The Local Story
Kenner sits at the western edge of Jefferson Parish, bordered by Lake Pontchartrain to the north, the Mississippi River to the south, and Metairie to the east. Founded in 1855 by Minor Kenner on three plantation tracts, the city now wraps around Louis Armstrong International Airport and runs from old Rivertown up through newer subdivisions north of Airline Highway.
The land north of Airline was filled and drained starting in the late 1950s, which is why so many Kenner subdivisions sit on lower elevation ground without the heavy tree canopy you find in older parts of the parish. Rivertown still has mature live oaks and shaded lots. University City, Driftwood, and Chateau Estates run sunnier with wider yards. Drainage is the constant variable here, so soil prep and grass choice both matter.

Hold off if:

LSU AgCenter recommends warm-season grasses (St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Centipede) for Jefferson Parish yards based on shade level and soil drainage. Our delivery routes through Kenner are weekly, which means we know the drainage profile, soil type, and tree-canopy mix of every major neighborhood here.
Rivertown lots with mature oaks usually call for Palmetto St. Augustine. Newer subdivisions north of Airline Highway work better with Bermuda or Zoysia. We pick the grass for your lot, not the other way around.

Lawn Care
Caring for a Jefferson Parish Lawn
Care Basics
Drainage, Shade, Heat
Soil profile varies more here than people expect. Older Kenner blocks south of Airline Highway sit on heavy clay with organic matter; newer subdivisions north of Airline sit on fill material from the 1960s drainage projects. Both hold 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.
