Sod Installation
Full lawn replacement with premium sod selected for NOLA's subtropical climate. Soil prep, laying, rolling. Done in a single day.
Learn morePremium sod installation by the crew that knows NOLA soil, NOLA climate, and every block in this city. Most installs done in one day.
New Orleans has clay-heavy soil, subtropical heat, drainage problems, and oak-canopy shade. These are not generic lawn conditions. Most contractors don't know that.
Northern-climate grass cannot survive a NOLA summer. Contractors who don't know this city pick the wrong sod. You pay for a failed install and a do-over.
You cleared your schedule. They confirmed the job. Then nothing. Or they showed up, laid half the sod, and disappeared for three days before finishing.
No itemization. No explanation. A number that changed twice between quote and invoice. You paid it because the job was already half done, and you regretted it.
NOLA clay doesn't drain like normal soil. Crews who skip proper grading leave you with puddles on every new lawn. The sod drowns and you're back to square one.
We built Big Easy Sod around exactly these failures. Every install starts with an honest soil and drainage assessment, and every grass recommendation is built for this city's climate, not someone else's.

We're not a national chain with a franchise in New Orleans. We're from here. That makes all the difference when you're working with NOLA soil.
New Orleans has clay-heavy soil, high humidity, standing water after rain, and canopy shade from century-old oaks. We've installed on every type of yard this city has. We know what grows and what doesn't.
We source premium sod built for subtropical performance, not generic turf that'll look stressed by August. Professional install, proper soil prep, guaranteed to take root.
We call back. We arrive on time. We finish the job and leave the site clean. Sounds basic, but if you've hired contractors in this city, you know it isn't.
No mystery. No runaround. Here's exactly what happens when you call Big Easy Sod.

Real results from New Orleans homeowners and property managers.
Specific outcomes from real New Orleans yards. Not vague praise, actual results.
Two general landscapers had already tried. Both installs died within 6 weeks. When this Uptown homeowner called Big Easy Sod, we assessed the soil, split the yard between St. Augustine for the shaded zones and Bermuda for the open-sun sections, regraded for drainage, and completed the full install in one day.
Fully established lawn in 3 weeks. Zero re-install costs. A lawn that survived its first NOLA summer, and the one after that.
The old lawn was dead because of drainage failure: the prior contractor laid sod without regrading. We fixed the grade first, then laid the sod. Took one day.
No standing water. Lawn fully established in 4 weeks.
Tight deadline, no room for delays, a property manager who'd been burned before. We finished three days ahead of schedule and under the quoted price.
HOA inspection passed. This property manager now uses Big Easy Sod for all three of their New Orleans properties.
From Uptown to the East, Metairie to the Westbank. We've installed on every kind of NOLA yard. If you're in the greater New Orleans area, we cover it.
