Golf-Course Neighborhoods
Le Triomphe Golf and Country Club has hosted the Chitimacha Louisiana Open since 1992, and the neighborhoods around it expect tidy lawns. We keep cutting heights consistent, edges sharp and beds trimmed to match.
Homeowners with a golf habit often add a small putting green or chipping area. We build them on a compacted base with slight breaks and a cup or two. Honestly, golf-neighborhood customers are the pickiest and the most fun. We've learned to keep our mower decks at one height all season.

Broussard started life as Cote Gelee, French for Frozen Hill, and it still sits a bit higher than much of the parish at about 33 feet above sea level. That helps drainage, but heavy summer rain on clay still leaves low corners and downspout spots soggy.
Lawn Care for In-Town and Golf Neighborhoods
Most Broussard yards are St. Augustine, and the standard is high. We keep it above 3.25 inches, mow weekly through the growing season, sharpen blades every Friday or Saturday and alternate patterns so there are no ruts. Customers here often ask for a schedule that avoids Saturday tournament weekends or family gatherings, and we plan around those.
Putting Greens and Synthetic Turf
A backyard putting green is one of the most requested upgrades in Broussard. We dig out the old sod, build a compacted rock base, lay turf over a very flat surface and shape gentle breaks. A 14-foot green with a pet turf strip beside it typically costs $7,000 to $9,000 installed. Turf in the shade of a live oak stays comfortable in summer.
| Broussard job | Includes | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Backyard putting green | 14 ft green, base, cup | $5,500 to $9,000 |
| Paver patio and walkway | 300 sq ft patio, 40 ft walk | $5,500 to $11,000 |
| Full lawn care plan | 44 cuts a year, edging and blowing | $45 to $85 per visit |
| Landscape lighting | 10 fixtures, transformer, timer | $2,000 to $3,800 |
Paver Patios and Outdoor Living
A good patio extends the house into the yard. We lay pavers over a thick stone base, add a seat wall and set low-voltage lights under the cap. Broussard median household income was about $82,677 in 2019, and many neighbors add outdoor kitchens and fire pits on top of the basic patio.
Drainage Around Broussard
The common complaint is water collecting at the back fence or the corner where two lots meet. A shallow French drain, a catch basin and a pop-up emitter at the street solve most of it. We tie drains to a legal outlet and never push water onto a neighbor's lot.
Flower Beds and Seasonal Color
Broussard has plenty of older homes with mature beds that need a reset. We clean out, edge, replant and mulch, and swap seasonal color twice a year.
Soil, Water and Seasons in Broussard
Broussard sits about 33 feet above sea level, higher than parts of the parish, but US 90 and the cane fields to the south still drain slowly. Summer highs average about 91 degrees, so a lawn that is cut too short or watered in the evening struggles. We water early in the morning, a couple of hours before sunrise through mid-morning, which is what LSU AgCenter recommends.
A Year of Yard Work in Broussard
- Winter: reset beds, rake live oak leaves and cut back dead growth on perennials.
- Spring: first feeding in April, fresh mulch and a weed barrier.
- Summer: weekly mowing, sprinkler checks and a second feeding in June.
- Fall: overseeding, a putting-green brush and a leaf cleanup.
How We Schedule Golf-Neighborhood Work
Homes near Le Triomphe are on tight schedules around tournaments and weekends. We set a regular day, mow before the heat of the afternoon and keep a record of each visit. For turf and patio projects we pick a start date with you and tell you the crew size and number of days up front.
A Recent Job in Broussard
A couple near the golf course wanted to practice short putts without driving to the club. We removed 420 square feet of tired grass, built a compacted base with a slight roll, laid turf with a 14-foot putting green at one end and edged it with block. The job took three days and cost $7,800. The dog got a turf strip at the other end.
In Broussard we most often build artificial turf, paver patios, landscape lighting and weekly lawn care.
Next Door: Carencro
We also work in Carencro, only a short drive from Broussard, so a crew is often nearby. If you have a neighbor with a project, we can sometimes schedule both on the same trip.
Landscaping in Broussard FAQs
How much does a backyard putting green cost in Broussard?
A backyard putting green typically costs $15 to $25 per square foot installed, so a 14-foot green with a small surround runs about $5,500 to $9,000. The base work is most of the cost. Pet turf beside it costs a little less per foot.
Do you serve the Le Triomphe area in Broussard?
Yes. We serve homes in town, on US 90 and in the golf-course neighborhoods. We keep cut heights and bed edges consistent so the lawn matches the standard around it.
What grass do most Broussard yards have?
St. Augustine is by far the most common. LSU AgCenter says to mow it at 2.5 to 3 inches in sun and a bit taller in shade, and to feed it in April and June.
How far is Broussard from your crews?
Broussard is about 7 miles southeast of Lafayette on US 90, so our crews reach it quickly and it is on our regular weekly routes.
