Lawn Care in Broussard, LA
Broussard’s population grew 64% between 2010 and 2020 — a mix of gated golf-course communities, established older streets, and newer family subdivisions, each with different lawn care needs.
From “Frozen Hill” to One of Acadiana’s Fastest-Growing Cities
Broussard’s earliest name was “Côte Gelée” (Frozen Hill), a reference to a severe winter in 1784. The town was established in 1884 and named for Valsin Broussard, a local merchant, and wasn’t officially designated a city until 2002 — despite that, it’s grown into one of the fastest-expanding cities in the Lafayette metro. Broussard straddles the line between Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, and the local economy runs on oil and gas services, food distribution, and manufacturing alongside sugarcane and soybean farming on its outskirts.
Median household income in Broussard runs well above the parish average, and it shows in the yards: a lot of large-lot, established landscaping alongside newer, amenity-driven subdivisions.
Two Very Different Lawn Types in the Same City
Broussard isn’t one uniform market. Established sections have mature trees, older St. Augustine turf, and the shade and root-competition issues that come with decades-old landscaping. Newer gated communities — built around amenities like a private golf course — tend to have strict HOA standards for edge lines, bed maintenance, and mowing height that a generic crew unfamiliar with the community can easily miss.
We treat these as different jobs. A shaded, established Broussard lawn needs different mowing height and fungus-watch attention than a newer, sun-exposed lot in a golf-course subdivision with a strict HOA aesthetic to maintain.
Does Broussard flood more than the rest of Lafayette Parish?
Broussard sits along the Lafayette/St. Martin parish line in flatter terrain than the elevated Lafayette city core, and like most of Acadiana it sits on slow-draining clay. Low-lying yards and those near drainage ditches are more prone to standing water after heavy storms, which is a factor in how and when we mow.

Broussard Lawn Care FAQ
Do you work inside gated communities like Le Triomphe?
Yes. Let us know your community’s access process and any HOA landscaping standards, and we’ll work to them.
My yard has heavy shade from mature trees. Does that change mowing?
Yes — shaded St. Augustine grows thinner and is more prone to fungus in humidity, so we adjust height and watch more closely for disease signs than we would on a full-sun lawn.

Yes, Broussard spans both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes and we cover both sides of the city line.
What ZIP codes do you cover?
