Choosing the Right Sod for South Louisiana
Three varieties dominate Lafayette lawns: St. Augustine (Raleigh or Floratam) for shaded yards — it handles the oak canopy better than anything else; Zoysia (Empire or Zeon) for full-sun yards where you want a premium, fine-bladed look; and Bermuda (Celebration or Tifway) for full-sun yards where you want fast recovery and high traffic tolerance. We source fresh-cut sod from Louisiana growers and install within 24 hours of cutting so the roots haven't had time to dry. Every installation includes written watering and mowing instructions for the first 30 days — which is when most new lawns succeed or fail.
Why Bloom Local
Sod that dies in the first month is almost always a prep failure — weeds left in the soil, no grading, or no starter fertilizer. We kill existing weeds before install, grade so water moves off the lawn instead of pooling, and lay the sod tight so seams don't show. Done right, new sod is rooted and mowing-ready in about three weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sod installation cost?
In the Lafayette market, installed sod typically runs $1.20–$2.25 per square foot depending on variety and prep scope. We give you a written quote before starting.
When is the best time to install sod?
Sod can be laid year-round in our climate, but spring (March–May) and early fall (September–October) have the highest survival rates. Summer installs work too with more watering.
Do you warranty the sod?
We warranty workmanship — tight seams, proper prep, correct grade. The sod itself relies heavily on your watering in the first two weeks, which we walk through in detail.
