Delivery to Ascension Parish
4 Varieties
St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede

Sod in Gonzales, Louisiana costs between $250 and $350 per pallet, with each pallet covering approximately 450 square feet. The four best warm season grass types for the Gonzales area are St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia, and Centipede. Cool-season grasses like fescue do not survive here. St. Augustine varieties like Palmetto, Raleigh, and CitraBlue are the most common residential choice because they tolerate shade from mature trees found throughout Ascension Parish. Bermuda works best in full-sun yards and high-traffic areas.

Gonzales falls in USDA Zone 9a with heavy clay soil that runs acidic, so proper lawn care starts with the right grass. The LSU AgCenter recommends a soil test before installation to determine pH and nutrient levels. Healthy sod resists common problems like chinch bugs, brown patch disease, and weed invasion better than seed. Local sod suppliers typically deliver within 2 to 4 business days. Homeowners should water new sod twice daily for the first 10 days and avoid mowing until roots anchor, usually 14 to 21 days after laying. A well-installed sod lawn adds immediate curb appeal and property value.

We Fix What Other

Why Gonzales
Homeowners Choose
Baton Rouge Sod

Ascension Parish soil is heavy Louisiana clay. It holds water, drains slow, and runs acidic. The LSU AgCenter recommends soil testing before any new turf installation in this region. That clay matters because it affects which grass will root fast and which will struggle. Proper irrigation during establishment is critical in this soil type.

Gonzales sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 9a. Summers hit 95 degrees with humidity above 80 percent for weeks at a time. We know this soil. We know this climate. Every pallet we sell is grown for South Louisiana conditions, not shipped in from out of state.

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.

Questions About Sod in Gonzales

Sod in Gonzales runs $250 to $350 per pallet. Each pallet covers about 450 square feet. Price depends on the grass variety, order size, and delivery distance. To estimate your project, measure your yard in square feet and divide by 450. Call (225) 310-8080 for an exact quote. We price by the pallet and sell individual pieces for small repairs.
Yes. We deliver to Gonzales and all of Ascension Parish. Most deliveries arrive within 2 to 4 business days. Rain delays all orders. Call 225-310-8080 to schedule your delivery date.
Measure your yard in square feet and divide by 450. That gives you the number of pallets. A 1,800 square foot backyard needs 4 pallets. Order one extra pallet to cover cuts, edges, and irregular shapes. We can help you calculate over the phone.
St. Augustine is the best sod for most Gonzales yards. Palmetto and CitraBlue varieties handle shade, heat, and the heavy clay soil found across Ascension Parish. For full-sun yards with heavy foot traffic, Tifway 419 Bermuda is the stronger choice. Centipede works well for large properties where low maintenance is the priority.
The best window is late March through September. Warm soil temperatures help roots establish faster. Spring installation gives sod a full growing season before winter dormancy. You can install outside that window, but root establishment takes longer in cooler months.
In Louisiana's warm, humid climate most sod varieties root within 2 to 3 weeks. St. Augustine and Bermuda tend to establish quickly. During the hotter months you will need to water daily for the first two weeks. You can test rooting by gently tugging a corner of the sod. If it resists, the roots are taking hold.
Both. You can order delivery only and install the sod yourself, or request full professional installation. Our installation team handles everything including ground prep, grading, laying, and cleanup. Get a free installation estimate by filling out the form on this page or calling (225) 310-8080.
Order online at batonrougesod.com and pick your delivery date at checkout. You can also call us at (225) 310-8080 to place your order by phone. We will confirm your delivery window and contact you with details before your scheduled date.
Keep foot traffic off new sod for the first two weeks while the roots establish. Light walking to water is fine, but avoid heavy use until the sod has firmly rooted. After 3 to 4 weeks in Louisiana's warm soil, the lawn is typically ready for normal activity.
St. Augustine has wide blades, dark green color, and handles shade well. Zoysia is dense and soft with high traffic tolerance. Bermuda is a fine-bladed, drought-resistant grass that needs full sun. Centipede is slow-growing, low-maintenance, and light green. The right choice depends on your sun exposure, how much foot traffic the yard gets, and how much upkeep you want to do.
