We Know Your Yard
Before You Call

After three decades working the soil across East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston Parish, we know what most sod companies never bother to learn. 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. With over 30 years working the soil across East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston Parish, we know which grass takes root in the heavy clay near Shenandoah, which variety handles the shade under the old live oaks in Mid-City, and why some corners of a Zachary or Prairieville yard need a different approach than everywhere else. You get that local knowledge on every call and every delivery.

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. Three decades working across East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston Parish gives you something no competitor can match: 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.

Professional sod installation in Baton Rouge

Trusted Across
South Louisiana

I just wanted to say how helpful this guy is. He explained all the grass to me and worked with me on scheduling my delivery. He kept me updated on my delivery, and even after the grass was put in he still answers my questions. I highly recommend him.

Working with D was an enjoyable experience all around. He gave me advice about my plant choices with specifics on their care, even though our focus was the back yard sod. I will certainly recommend Baton Rouge Sod and plan to use them again.

These guys helped me fix my front and back yard. They fixed all of the areas on my property that were holding water and had lost all grass. I am so happy with our new grass. Highly recommend for both delivery and installation.

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, including Denham Springs, Prairieville, Gonzales, Zachary, Hammond, Central, Baker, Walker, Port Allen, and many more communities. 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 driveways. 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 most shade and are the top picks under the old live oaks found throughout Mid-City, the Garden District, and older East Baton Rouge neighborhoods. 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. 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.
