Sod Replacement and Reseeding
Why NOLA Lawns Need a Different Approach
Sod replacement is different from a fresh install. You are starting with a lawn that already failed once, which means the conditions that caused the failure need to be diagnosed and corrected before any new turf goes down
We pull the failed turf, assess what went wrong, whether wrong grass type, drainage failure, soil issues, or installation error, and address the root cause first. Putting new turf over an uncorrected problem produces the same result
Reseeding is an option for lawns with partial coverage or isolated damage rather than full failure. We assess which approach is right for your yard and give you the honest recommendation, including when it means a smaller job

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
If more than half the turf is dead or in poor condition, replacement typically makes more sense. We assess the lawn in person and give you a straight recommendation, including when reseeding is the better call.
The three most common causes in NOLA are wrong grass variety for sun and shade conditions, soil that was not prepped before installation, and poor drainage that suffocates the roots. We identify the cause before installing anything new.
Yes. We take replacement jobs on lawns installed by other contractors. We assess the failed install to understand what went wrong and correct those issues before new sod goes down.
Two to four weeks for light foot traffic, four to six weeks for full use. Establishment time depends on the season and watering schedule. Summer installs establish faster with proper watering.
We handle full turf removal as part of the replacement. Make sure the yard is accessible when we arrive.
Per square foot, yes. But reseeding requires two to three months for full coverage and has lower success rates in NOLA summer heat than sod. We give you the honest cost-benefit comparison for your situation.
