Sod Installation
Why NOLA Lawns Need a Different Approach
New Orleans has one of the most demanding turf environments in the country. Clay-heavy soil, subtropical heat, inconsistent rainfall, and a full growing season running from March through November. Most sod that goes in the ground here fails because the installer picked the wrong variety or skipped soil prep entirely
Big Easy Sod specializes exclusively in NOLA installs. We assess your soil composition, shade patterns, and drainage conditions before we source a single roll of sod. The grass we bring is subtropical-rated and matched to your specific yard, not whatever was available at the supplier
Most residential installations are complete in a single day. We prep the soil, install, and walk you through the care schedule before we leave. No partial jobs. No promises about finishing next week

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Most residential jobs in New Orleans are complete in a single day. Larger installs or properties requiring significant grading may take two days. We confirm the timeline at your free assessment.
We primarily install St. Augustine, Bermuda, and Zoysia. The right choice depends on your yard's sun exposure, soil type, and drainage. We assess this before making a recommendation.
We handle soil prep and grading as part of the installation. Make sure the yard is accessible and major debris is cleared. We confirm specifics at the assessment.
Light foot traffic is fine after two weeks. Heavy use, including children, pets, and equipment, should wait four to six weeks to allow roots to fully establish in NOLA clay soil.
Daily watering for the first two weeks, twice daily in peak summer heat, then tapering to two or three times per week for weeks three and four. We provide a written care schedule before we leave.
Yes, if the right variety was installed and the roots established properly. Wrong grass for the conditions is the main reason installs fail by August. That is why we assess first.
We stand behind our work. If sod fails due to our installation process or soil prep, we come back. We are honest at the assessment about what we cover and what falls outside the guarantee.
