Mauberret and Heidingsfelder started the company in the spring of 2006 to help with the city's Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. As people in south Louisiana rebuilt their homes and businesses, the co-owners recognized a business opportunity that would "make the city greener," Heidingsfelder says.
Over the last six years, Delta Sod has partnered with Habitat for Humanity in projects such as the Musicians' Village, Brad Pitt's Make it Right foundation, and Build Now, a local nonprofit committed to building elevated, energy-efficient homes. Through its philanthropic efforts, Delta Sod provides convenient, quality lawns for homes and businesses throughout south Louisiana.
The company delivers and facilitates the installation of sod. Also called turf, sod is grass that has already been planted. It creates a lush, green lawn in a very short period of time. Sod takes root better than seed and is a more reliable, faster way to produce an attractive lawn. While seeding produces sparse coverage and requires more watering, sod provides instant gratification and can be installed any season of the year.
