Sod Delivery in Hammond, LA
Fresh sod cut at the farm, delivered to your property.
Order fresh-cut sod by the pallet for your Hammond property, whether that is a family subdivision off Morrison Boulevard, a rental near Southeastern Louisiana University, or a commercial site at the I-12 and I-55 junction. Your block has its own soil profile (sandy loam downtown, clay along the Natalbany River), and the grass pick fits it.
Grass types we deliver by the pallet.
The four main grass varieties we sell are St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede.
St. Augustine
- Wide Blade grass with dense growth that outgrows most weeds.
- Performs better in shade than other warm season turfgrasses.
- Tolerates moderate foot traffic and has very good wear recovery.
- Most Popular grass in the area.
Zoysia
- Fine blade to medium blade grass with very dense carpet like growth.
- Performs better in shade than most other warm season turf grasses.
- Tolerates heavy foot traffic and has very good wear recovery.
- Used in lawns and Golf Courses across the country.
Bermuda
- Fine blade grass.
- Warm-Season, Heat-Tolerant Grass. Great for Southeast Lawns.
- Performs better in full sun, but can tolerate a little shade.
- High Foot Traffic Tolerance and Fast Recovery from wear.
- Great for Athletic Fields and High Use areas.
Centipede
- Medium blade grass.
- Warm-Season, Heat-Tolerant Grass. Great for Southeast Lawns.
- Performs better in full sun, but can tolerate a little shade.
- Low Maintenance & Fertilization Requirements.
- Called Lazy Man's Grass since it's easy to maintain.
Landlord, multi-family, and commercial sod.
Hammond runs a different mix of work than most other markets on the schedule: rental properties around Southeastern Louisiana University, and bulk commercial orders at the I-12 and I-55 junction. Both get handled differently than a single-family residential install.
- Rental property grass selection. St. Augustine and Centipede are the picks for rental properties. The grass that survives inconsistent watering and minimal upkeep matters more than the manicured look on those lots, and Zoysia is rarely the right answer when the renter is the one watering.
- Multi-property pallet coordination. Pallet quantities and install timing get coordinated across multiple addresses in the same week. If you own Hammond rentals or manage SLU-area student housing, that means one quote, one delivery window, and multiple drops.
- Commercial sites at the I-12 and I-55 junction. TifTuf Bermuda is the install for open commercial lots on Morrison Boulevard, Hammond Square, and the highway junction. Drought tolerance, traffic recovery, and full-sun performance all line up on those sites.
- Mixed soil across the city. Your property gets walked at the quote stage on commercial sites with mixed-soil exposure. Hammond runs sandy loam downtown, heavier clay along the Natalbany River, and agricultural soils on the western edge, and the grass pick changes block by block.
Best grass pick for your yard.
Every yard is a little different. Here is how we match grass to your situation so you are not guessing.
- Family yard with kids or dogs: If your family yard is in Morrison Boulevard or one of the Highway 190 west subdivisions, Zoysia is the first pick. Fine-bladed, drought tolerant, the right fit for the newer builds in Tangipahoa.
- Full-sun new subdivision: TifTuf Bermuda suits a full-sun new build north or west of I-12. It takes the Tangipahoa summer heat and handles commercial-grade traffic.

About Hammond, LA.
- USDA Zone
- USDA Zone 8b-9a. This zone supports all four sod grasses we sell. Hammond is at the cooler edge of the zone compared to coastal Northshore, so spring-installed Zoysia takes a week longer to root in.
- Climate
- Humid subtropical. Tangipahoa Parish runs a hair drier than coastal St. Tammany. Bermuda performs well in the dry July stretches.
- Annual rainfall
- 64+ inches. Slightly less rainfall than the coastal Northshore. Drought tolerance matters more on a Hammond install than a Mandeville install.
- Soil profile
- Sandy loam across most of the city, some heavier clay along the Natalbany River corridor, and more agricultural soils on the western and northern edges. Three soil profiles in one city. We pick around the soil per block, not by parish.
- Coordinates
- 30.5044 N, 90.4632 W
- Elevation
- Approximately 45 feet above sea level.
- Zip codes
- 70401, 70402, and 70403
- Major roads
- I-12, I-55, Highway 190, Highway 51, Highway 22

Your Hammond install lands in one of four buyer profiles: rental property near Southeastern, a family subdivision off Morrison Boulevard, a commercial site at the I-12 and I-55 junction, or rural Tangipahoa acreage. Each one gets a different grass and a different prep approach.
- Downtown Hammond and SLU campus area
- St. Augustine and Centipede both work for downtown Hammond and the SLU campus area. Those streets run older oak-shaded lots in rental rotation, and both grasses handle the inconsistent-care profile typical of student rentals.
- Morrison Boulevard and Highway 190 west
- Empire Zoysia is the standard install for Morrison Boulevard and the Highway 190 west subdivisions. These are newer family neighborhoods on sandy loam, and Zoysia delivers the fine-bladed manicured look.
- I-12 and I-55 commercial junction
- TifTuf Bermuda fits the commercial sites at the I-12 and I-55 junction and the Hammond Square area. Drought tolerance and full-sun recovery line up with the open exposure on those lots.
- Natalbany and western Tangipahoa rural
- Centipede works for the rural acreage out toward Natalbany and western Tangipahoa, and Zoysia carries best in the Natalbany River clay pockets. The soil out there runs heavier clay and acidic agricultural ground.
