Sod Done Right in Kenner
Big Easy Sod serves Kenner with the same crew, the same standard, and the same one-day installs we've brought to every neighborhood in the greater New Orleans area. NOLA-specific sod. No-show-free scheduling. Transparent pricing.
We Know This Area
Kenner's soil profile is similar to Metairie's reclaimed lake bed, with added exposure to drainage issues near the lakefront and along older residential streets. The combination of clay-heavy soil and the area's proximity to Lake Pontchartrain creates a challenging environment for sod that wasn't selected with water tolerance in mind. Big Easy Sod evaluates drainage patterns and shade coverage on every Kenner property before selecting a grass variety, because the wrong call means you're back to a dead lawn by August.
Why Most Lawn Jobs Fail Around Here
Louisiana clay doesn't forgive shortcuts. Most contractors take them anyway.
Sod That Dies in 30 Days
Wrong grass for the Louisiana climate. Most installers pick whatever's available, not what survives summer heat and clay soil here.
Drainage Ignored, Lawn Drowns
No grading, no drainage prep. The first real rain creates standing water. Sod roots suffocate. You're back to square one and out another contractor fee.
No-Show Crews
Scheduled for Tuesday. Showed up Friday. Or not at all. Contractors who disappear mid-job or don't call back are the reason people call Big Easy Sod.
Opaque Pricing
"Just trust us" quotes with no breakdown. Then the invoice is different. No itemization, no explanation. Just a number you didn't expect.
Big Easy Sod was built specifically around these failures. Every Kenner job starts with an honest on-site assessment covering soil, drainage, sun exposure, and the right grass variety for where you live. We fix the problem, not just the symptom.

A real job from this area. Specific outcome. Not a vague testimonial.
Kenner Property: Airport Road Corridor, Full Replacement
A Kenner homeowner had tried Bermuda grass twice, a common mistake in yards with significant oak canopy shade. Bermuda doesn't tolerate partial shade, and both installs failed. We came out, mapped the shade pattern across the day, and recommended a split install: St. Augustine for the shaded sections, Bermuda for the open-sun rear yard. Completed in one day.
Both grass types established cleanly within 3 weeks. Lawn survived the first full summer without any re-install.

About Kenner
Kenner is Jefferson Parish's second-largest city, a densely residential community built out primarily in the 1960s through 1980s. Proximity to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport defines the northern edge. Most residential lots sit on flat terrain with the same clay soil profile as the rest of the metro, and the post-war housing stock means compacted soil from decades of use is a regular finding before any install.
Why Lawns Matter Here
- Post-war housing stock means compacted clay is common before the first install
- Flat suburban terrain requires grading to move water away from foundations
- Full-sun exposure in most subdivisions makes Bermuda a strong performer alongside St. Augustine
