Fresh Grass Cut for New Home Lawns

Lawler Turf supplies Tifway 419 Bermuda sod for residential construction and lawn projects in Shreveport.

When a new home is built in Shreveport, the final step before move-in often involves laying sod across bare dirt left behind by grading and utility work. You need grass that roots quickly in full sun and survives the heat without constant watering. Lawler Turf grows Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass specifically for residential projects, cutting each order fresh so the sod arrives with healthy roots and enough moisture to establish within two weeks of installation.

This farm supplies sod in retail quantities sized for single-family homes, which means you can order exactly what you need without paying for excess material or waiting for a bulk delivery window. Tifway 419 is a warm-season grass suited for the full-sun conditions common in Shreveport yards. It spreads through underground rhizomes and above-ground stolons, filling in gaps and repairing itself after foot traffic or minor wear. Most residential orders support new construction rather than lawn replacement, though the grass works for both.

If you are building a home in Shreveport and need to schedule sod delivery around your landscaping timeline, contact Lawler Turf to check availability and confirm the quantity needed for your lot size.

Sod That Arrives Fresh From the Field

Lawler Turf cuts sod only after you place an order, so the grass you receive in Shreveport has not been sitting on a pallet losing moisture in the sun. The farm uses hydraulic cutters to remove uniform strips of Tifway 419 Bermuda turf with soil and roots intact, then loads the sod onto pallets for delivery within 24 hours. This short window between harvest and arrival keeps the roots cool and reduces the chance of transplant shock once the sod is laid.

After installation and initial watering, you will notice the grass begins rooting into the soil below within the first week. Seams between sod pieces start to close as the grass spreads, and the lawn develops a uniform appearance within two to three weeks if watered consistently. Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass stays green through Shreveport summers and tolerates drought better than cool-season varieties that struggle in regional heat.

Retail packages are available for homeowners and builders working on individual lots. If you need help with installation, Lawler Turf can refer you to preferred landscapers who work regularly with Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass and understand the timing required to keep sod fresh. The farm does not install sod directly but can connect you with installers when you place your order.

What Homeowners Usually Want to Know

Homeowners ordering sod for the first time often have questions about how much to buy, when to install, and what to do immediately after delivery. These answers address the most common concerns that come up during residential sod orders.

How much sod do I need for a typical residential yard in Shreveport?

The amount depends on your lot size and how much area you want covered. Most single-family homes in Shreveport require between 4,500 and 9,000 square feet of sod, which translates to roughly ten to twenty pallets depending on the layout.

What happens if I cannot install the sod the same day it arrives?
Sod should be installed within 24 to 48 hours of delivery to prevent heat buildup and root damage. If installation is delayed, unstack the pallets and lightly water the grass to keep it cool until you can lay it.
Why is Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass recommended for residential lawns?
Tifway 419 thrives in full sun and heat, which matches the growing conditions in most Shreveport yards. It tolerates foot traffic, recovers quickly, and stays green through summer without requiring constant watering.
Can I order sod if I am not working with a builder or contractor?
Yes, Lawler Turf sells sod directly to homeowners in retail quantities. You can place an order, arrange delivery, and either install the sod yourself or hire an installer referred by the farm.
How long does it take for new sod to root into the soil?
Tifway 419 Bermuda Grass typically roots within seven to fourteen days if watered daily after installation. You will notice the sod becomes harder to lift and seams begin to close as the roots grow into the soil below.
