What We Deliver

Fresh Sod Delivered to Natchitoches

Natchitoches is our longest regular route, 60 to 75 minutes south on I-49. We cut in the morning, load, and drive direct. Sod still arrives fresh with time to lay before midday heat sets in.

John and Steven have run Shreveport Sod for 35+ years. Natchitoches is Louisiana's oldest city, founded in 1714. The historic district along the Cane River has a live oak canopy that defines what yards look like here. Under those oaks you need a grass that handles deep shade. We know which variety works and which ones yellow out within a season.

Northwestern State University brings around 9,000 students to town. That means rental properties, university-adjacent residential areas, and new construction on the outskirts all have different needs. Natchitoches Parish also has pine belt to the south and east where soil goes acidic. We cover all of it.
