Bermuda Grass Sod
Everything you need to know about Bermuda grass varieties, care requirements, and which type works best for your yard.
The Sun-Loving Turf Grass
Bermuda grass is the most popular warm-season turf for full-sun lawns in South Louisiana. It thrives in heat, handles heavy foot traffic, and recovers quickly from damage. Several hybrid varieties offer improvements over common Bermuda, including finer texture, better color, and improved drought tolerance. This guide covers every Bermuda variety we carry and helps you pick the right one.
Baton Rouge Sod carries Bermuda grass sod in fresh-cut pallets, ready for pickup or delivery across Greater Baton Rouge.

Why Bermuda Grass Dominates Louisiana Sports Turf
Bermuda grass handles heavy foot traffic better than any other warm-season grass. That's why you see it on football fields, baseball diamonds, and golf fairways across Louisiana. Its aggressive lateral growth fills in divots and wear spots faster than St. Augustine or Zoysia.
For residential lawns, Bermuda delivers a tight, manicured look that stays green from April through October. Tifway 419, Celebration, and TifTuf are the top three varieties we sell for Baton Rouge properties.
Getting the Best Results from Bermuda Sod
Bermuda needs full sun. At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, with 8 or more being ideal. Shaded areas under trees or next to tall fences will thin out over time no matter how well you care for it.
Mow bermuda lower than other grasses. Keep it between 1 and 2 inches for a dense, carpet-like finish. Regular mowing encourages lateral spread and keeps the lawn thick enough to choke out weeds without herbicides.
