Real rain. Real heat. Real dogs. We install premium artificial turf engineered for Louisiana, with the drainage and base prep most contractors skip.
Clay soil that holds water like a bowl. Summer humidity that breeds brown patch. Hurricane rain that takes a week to drain. Heat that scorches St. Augustine by August. Dogs and rain that turn yards into mud pits. We didn't move here to install lawns. We grew up fighting this climate. Then we got tired of watching every neighbor fight it too.
Most NOLA yards sit on clay. We engineer the base layer with crushed limestone graded to drain, then tie into existing French drains where needed. Rain stops, yard dries within minutes.
Standard turf gets punishingly hot in a Louisiana summer. We install cool-yarn options and reflective infill that run cooler underfoot than standard turf.
Antimicrobial infill, hyper-permeable backing, dig-resistant install. Three big dogs and a fenced yard? We've solved it dozens of times across the city.
Our base prep is designed for heavy, hurricane-season downpours. Edges secured with galvanized turf nails. Built for August. Built for October. Built for every year.
Every Crescent Turf project starts with the same question: how is this yard going to be used? The install spec changes based on the answer.
The low-maintenance dream lawn for shotgun homes, courtyards, and full backyards. Stays green through every season and every storm.
Antimicrobial infill, lightning-fast drainage, dig-resistant install. Built for digging dogs, NOLA rain, and humid summers.
Putting greens, pool surrounds, playgrounds, commercial spaces. Specialty turf systems engineered for specific use cases.
An artificial turf install is only as good as what's under it. Our base prep includes graded compaction, French-drain integration where existing drainage exists, and crushed limestone sloped to move water away from the home.
Cheap installs skip this work. The turf looks fine for six months, then the seams lift, the base settles, the drainage backs up, and the yard floods worse than before. We don't take that shortcut. Every install includes the base layer that lets a yard last fifteen years.
How we install
Rain, heat, and mud are the three forces working against a yard in this city. Every install answers all three.
Engineered drainage that keeps your yard usable after heavy storms. Water clears in minutes, not days.
Heat-rated turf and cool infill that handle long humid summers and stay attractive year-round.
No muddy paws, dirty shoes, or patchy grass. Just a clean surface that holds up to dogs and kids.
Most projects go from initial estimate to perfect-looking yard in under three weeks.
We measure your space, listen to how you'll use it, and walk through samples and pricing on-site. 60 minutes. No pressure, no surprises.
You receive a line-itemed quote covering turf product, base prep, drainage, infill, edging, and labor. Lock-in pricing, no creep.
Demo, base, drainage, turf, finish. Most residential projects 2-3 working days, consecutive, with daily cleanup. Walkthrough at the end.
We do one thing, and we do it here. Every install reflects how we think about a New Orleans yard.
We plan every install around how you live outside here. Courtyards, shade, dogs, and the way we gather.
Our base prep is engineered for clay soil and hurricane-season rain. Water moves away from the house, not toward it.
We install high-density, heat-rated turf built to look right and hold up through long humid summers.
Tight seams, secured edges, and daily cleanup. The finish is the whole point.
Many homeowners spread the cost over time. We walk through monthly options with you at the site visit.
Backed by a manufacturer turf warranty and our own workmanship warranty. We stand behind every job.
We live here. An owner scopes your project and answers when you call, before the install and long after.
Our lab destroyed the backyard every time it rained. Crescent explained the drainage system, installed everything in three days, and now there's no mud at all. We spend far more time outside than we used to.
We looked at several companies, but Crescent's proposal was much more detailed. The finished project looks like it's always been part of the house.
Between the oak trees and Louisiana humidity, our lawn never stood a chance. The turf looks great year-round and has completely changed how we use the backyard.
The install crew was incredibly clean and professional. Our kids were playing on it the same weekend.
We wanted something low maintenance that still felt high-end. The finished courtyard exceeded our expectations.
We were worried artificial turf would look fake. It doesn't. Nearly everyone who comes over asks who installed it.
This is what we are really building. A yard the dogs can tear around after a storm. A yard the kids play on barefoot. A yard you actually want to spend a Saturday in.
Green every month. Ready minutes after the rain. No mud tracked through the door.
Book a free site visitMost residential projects are $12,000 to $25,000. Smaller courtyards may start around $4,000. Larger or custom drainage and putting green projects may be higher. Pricing depends on turf product, base prep, drainage, and total square footage.
Yes. Properly installed turf actually drains faster than natural grass. The key is base prep: graded compaction, French-drain integration where needed, and high-flow turf backings. Our install spec is designed for New Orleans rain and hurricane-season downpours.
Standard turf can get very hot in direct summer sun. We address this three ways. Cool-yarn turf options reflect IR radiation and run cooler, zeofill or organic infill replaces black crumb rubber, and a quick hose rinse brings the surface temperature down fast. Shaded courtyards stay comfortable year-round.
Yes. All Crescent Turf products are lead-free and PFAS-free. Pet zones use antimicrobial infill that neutralizes ammonia at the molecular level. Play areas get cushioned shock pads underneath the turf for fall protection.
Most residential projects under 1,500 sq ft install in 2-3 working days. Larger commercial jobs run 5-10 days. We work consecutive days with daily cleanup. No half-finished job sites left over a weekend.
Yes. We install across St. Tammany Parish including Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Abita Springs, and Slidell at the same pricing as our Southshore work.
