Durable Grass Built for Athletic Fields

Lawler Turf supplies Tifway 419 Bermuda sod for athletic fields and sports facilities in Shreveport.

Athletic fields in Shreveport take constant wear from cleats, equipment, and repeated use during practice and competition. You need grass that recovers quickly, handles heavy traffic, and stays playable through summer heat. Lawler Turf grows Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass specifically for athletic field applications, cutting each order fresh so the sod arrives with healthy roots ready to establish within two weeks of installation. Whether you are building a new field for a school in Shreveport or renovating turf at a training facility, the grass you receive was harvested after your order was placed, not pulled from inventory that has been sitting on pallets for days.

This farm supplies sod with contractor and wholesale pricing available for large field installations. Tifway 419 is selected for strength, recovery, and performance under heavy use. It spreads through underground rhizomes and above-ground stolons, which allows the grass to repair itself after divots and wear patterns develop during play. Most field orders support new construction and major renovations rather than patching or overseeding. Delivery is typically completed within 24 hours of harvest to protect root health and ensure the sod is ready for installation as soon as it arrives.

If you are planning a field project in Shreveport and need to confirm sod availability or discuss delivery timing, contact Lawler Turf to review your field size and installation schedule.

Fresh Turf Cut for Fast Field Readiness

Lawler Turf cuts sod only after your order is confirmed, so the grass delivered to your field site in Shreveport has not been stacked in the sun losing moisture. The farm uses hydraulic cutters to remove uniform sections of Tifway 419 Bermuda turf with soil and roots attached, then palletizes the material for same-day or next-day delivery depending on your schedule. This short turnaround keeps the sod cool and reduces transplant shock, which helps the grass root faster once it is laid and watered on the field.

After installation and consistent watering, you will notice the seams between sod pieces begin to close as roots grow into the soil below. The grass develops a uniform playing surface within two to three weeks, and the field becomes firmer underfoot as the root system strengthens. Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass is a warm-season turf that tolerates drought, recovers from wear, and stays green through Shreveport summers without requiring constant irrigation.

Contractor and wholesale pricing is available for large field installations that require truckload volumes. Delivery does not include installation or grading, but Lawler Turf can refer you to experienced installers who work regularly with athletic field projects if your crew does not handle sod work directly. The farm supplies grass only and does not provide field prep or drainage services.

What Coaches and Facility Managers Ask

Schools, training facilities, and recreational programs ordering sod for athletic fields often ask about grass durability, rooting time, and field readiness after installation. These answers cover the most common concerns that affect planning and budget for field projects.

Why is Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass recommended for athletic fields?
Tifway 419 is selected for strength, recovery, and performance under heavy use. It tolerates cleats, equipment, and repeated traffic, and it spreads through rhizomes and stolons to repair divots and worn areas over time.
How soon after installation can the field be used?
Sod typically roots within seven to fourteen days if watered daily. Light use can begin once the grass resists lifting when tugged, but full play should wait until the field is mowed at least twice to ensure the roots are established.
What is included in wholesale truckload pricing?
Wholesale pricing applies to large orders that cover entire fields or exceed several thousand square feet. The farm delivers fresh-cut sod within 24 hours of harvest, but pricing does not include installation, grading, or field prep work.
How long does it take to deliver sod for a full field?
Most orders are delivered within 24 hours of being cut from the field in Shreveport. Large field orders may require multiple truckloads, but delivery is coordinated to keep installation on schedule without gaps between loads.
Can I get help finding an installer for a field project?
Lawler Turf does not install sod directly but can refer you to installers experienced with athletic field projects and Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass. You can request referrals when you place your order.
