What We Deliver

Fresh Sod Delivered to Iowa Driveways

We deliver fresh sod to Iowa, LA yards every week from our Lake Charles farm. Iowa sits 15 to 25 minutes east on I-10 in eastern Calcasieu Parish. Your pallet gets cut, loaded, and dropped on your driveway the same morning it leaves the farm.

John and Steven have run Lake Charles Sod for 35+ years across Calcasieu Parish. Iowa is on our regular I-10 East route. Same schedule, same same day fresh cut, same quick turnaround you get in Lake Charles proper.

Iowa yards are different from most of the Lake Charles metro. More open sun. Fewer trees. Larger lots near the rice-country outskirts east of town. The soil runs flatter and sandier as you move east toward Jennings. We factor that in when we recommend grass.

Family yard with foot trafficEmpire Zoysia. Holds up to kids and dogs without thinning. Works in the newer Iowa residential areas with manageable lot sizes.
Large rural acreage east of townClassic Centipede. Low maintenance, few mowings, tolerant of the slightly acidic sandy loam that comes with the rice-country terrain east of Iowa.
