We Know Your Yard
Before You Call

Our owner has been working the soil across East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston Parish for three decades. That experience drives every quote, delivery, and install. We know the heavy clay near Shenandoah that stays waterlogged after a hard rain. We know the deep shade under the old live oaks in Mid-City and the Garden District. We know which corner of a Zachary or Prairieville yard needs a different approach than the rest of the lot. When you call us, you get that knowledge in the first conversation. Real answers, not a sales pitch.

We Fix What Other
Sod Companies Get Wrong

Most sod companies leave you guessing on delivery, give generic advice, and disappear after the job. We do it differently. You get a confirmed delivery date when you order. You get a real conversation about what your yard actually needs. And the crew stays available after the truck pulls away. Repeat customers and contractor referrals make up the bulk of our work.

Fast, Reliable Delivery

We confirm your delivery date when you order and keep you updated the whole way. Your sod arrives fresh from the farm on the day you chose, not whenever it's convenient for us.

Honest, Friendly Service

We take the time to explain every variety and match you with what actually works for your yard, soil, and sun exposure. No upselling, no guesswork, just straight answers.

Real Turf Specialists

We are sod specialists, not a landscaping company that dabbles in sod on the side. You get field-tested knowledge of your specific soil, your specific climate, and your specific yard. Our installation process, success rate, and post-install support all reflect that depth of experience.

Trusted Across
South Louisiana

He explained all the grass to me and worked with me on scheduling. He kept me updated on my delivery, and even after the grass was in he still answers my questions. Highly recommend.

Working with D was an enjoyable experience. He gave me advice on plant choices, even though our focus was the back yard sod. I will certainly recommend Baton Rouge Sod.

These guys helped me fix my front and back yard. They fixed areas holding water and had lost all grass. So happy with the new lawn. Highly recommend for both delivery and installation.

Ordered two pallets of St. Augustine for my front yard. Delivery was exactly on time and the sod was fresh and green. My yard looks completely transformed. Will definitely order again.

Called with questions about which grass to get and got straight honest answers with no upselling. Ordered Zoysia and it rooted perfectly. Best experience I have had with a sod company.

Had my entire backyard sodded with Centipede. The crew was professional, cleaned up everything, and the grass looked amazing the same day. Could not be happier with the results.

Farm fresh sod delivered right to my driveway on the day I picked. Installed it myself over the weekend. Six weeks later it looks like a golf course. Great product and great service.

We had Bermuda installed in our new construction home. The team coordinated with our builder and everything went perfectly. The grass is thick and full. Very professional operation.

Baton Rouge Sod is the real deal. Owner walked me through everything over the phone and made sure I had the right variety for my shaded backyard. Palmetto St. Augustine, could not be better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sod pallets in Baton Rouge typically cost between $250 and $350 depending on the grass variety. St. Augustine and Zoysia tend to be at the higher end, while Bermuda and Centipede are more affordable. Each pallet covers approximately 450 square feet. View full pricing details.
St. Augustine is the most popular grass in Baton Rouge because it handles both sun and shade well. For full-sun yards with heavy traffic, Bermuda is the best choice. Zoysia offers a premium carpet-like feel, and Centipede is ideal for low-maintenance lawns. Read our full grass comparison guide.
We deliver sod across Greater Baton Rouge and South Louisiana. Coverage includes Denham Springs, Prairieville, Gonzales, Zachary, Hammond, Central, Baker, Walker, Port Allen, and more. See all delivery areas.
Measure your lawn's length and width in feet, then multiply to get the total square footage. Divide that number by 450 to get your pallet count. We recommend adding 5 to 10 percent extra to cover cuts, edges, and waste. Use our pallet calculator.
Many homeowners install sod themselves successfully. We provide detailed care instructions with every delivery. For larger projects, slopes, or drainage concerns, our professional installation team handles everything from soil prep to final rolling. Learn about our installation service.
You can install sod in Louisiana almost year-round. Spring and early fall are ideal because temperatures are warm but not extreme. Avoid laying sod during hard freezes. Summer installations work well if you water consistently during the first two weeks.
New sod typically roots within 10 to 14 days in Louisiana's warm climate. You can test by gently tugging a corner. If it resists, roots have taken hold. Avoid heavy foot traffic for the first 3 weeks and keep the sod consistently moist during the rooting period.
Water new sod twice daily for the first 7 to 10 days. Early morning and late afternoon work best. Keep the soil underneath moist but not soggy. After the first two weeks, reduce to once daily, then transition to a normal schedule of 1 inch per week.
Yes. Remove old grass, weeds, and debris. Till the top 2 to 3 inches of soil and rake it smooth. The final grade should sit about 1 inch below sidewalks and walkways. If your soil is heavy clay, mixing in compost or topsoil helps drainage. Our installation team handles all soil prep. Learn about our installation service.
St. Augustine is the best choice for shaded yards across Greater Baton Rouge. Palmetto and CitraBlue St. Augustine handle the deepest shade and are the top picks for older neighborhoods with mature tree canopies. Zoysia tolerates partial shade but needs at least four hours of direct sun per day. Bermuda and Centipede need full sun and will thin out badly under a tree canopy. If shade is your main challenge, St. Augustine is almost always the right call. See our Classic St. Augustine sod.
Yes, and it is one of the most common issues we see across East Baton Rouge Parish and parts of Ascension Parish. Baton Rouge has some of the heaviest clay soil in South Louisiana. Unamended clay drains slowly, stays waterlogged after heavy rain, and can suffocate sod roots if laid directly on top without prep work. We recommend tilling the top 3 inches and mixing in compost or coarse sand before installation. Proper grading so water drains away from the foundation is just as important. Our installation team handles all of this. Request a free installation estimate.
Sod gives you an instant lawn that is ready to use in 2 to 3 weeks. Seed takes 2 to 3 months to fully establish and is vulnerable to washout, birds, and weeds during germination. Sod also prevents erosion from day one, which matters on Louisiana's frequent rain days.
Wait two to three weeks after installation before the first mow, once the roots have knit into the soil. After that: Bermuda about once a week at 1 to 1.5 inches; Zoysia every 7 to 10 days at 1.5 to 2 inches; St. Augustine about once a week at 2.5 to 4 inches; Centipede every 10 to 14 days at 1.5 to 2 inches. Never remove more than a third of the blade in one mowing. These heights line up with LSU AgCenter recommendations for warm-season Louisiana lawns.
Start with sun exposure. Less than 4 hours of direct sun? St. Augustine is almost always the right call. Full sun all day, with kids or pets running through it? Bermuda or Zoysia. Mixed sun and shade with moderate traffic? Zoysia. Big lot where you want minimal mowing and fertilizer? Centipede. Soil drainage and how the lawn gets used matter too. Call us and we will help you pick.
Several Capital Region neighborhoods sit on heavy clay soil with seasonal flooding. The toughest yards are along the Mississippi River alluvial plain, the Amite River basin, and the Comite River basin. Walker, Watson, and parts of Livingston Parish along the Amite see this most often. St. Augustine handles brief wet conditions better than the other three options because of its deep root structure. For chronic wet spots, fix the drainage first; sod alone will not solve a standing-water problem. We can advise during your quote call.

Greater Baton Rouge sits in USDA hardiness zone 9a, with humid summers and short mild winters.
