Professional Landscaping in Hammond, LA
Hammond is Tangipahoa Parish's largest city and its commercial and educational hub — home to Southeastern Louisiana University, the busy US-190 and I-55 interchange, and the charming Cate Square Park at the heart of a revitalized downtown. It's a city that has grown quickly while holding onto the warmth and character of its roots, and its neighborhoods reflect that mix: established residential streets shaded by mature oaks, newer subdivisions pushing toward the parish's suburban edges, and a vibrant commercial corridor that demands well-maintained grounds year-round.
Apex Grounds Co. serves the full range of Hammond properties — from single-family homes in neighborhoods off South Holly Road and Morrison Boulevard to commercial properties lining the US-190 strip. Our team understands the specific challenges Hammond's flat landscape presents. The Natalbany Creek drainage basin influences groundwater levels across large sections of the city, and low-lying yards can hold water long after a rain event passes. We address these issues with proper grading, drainage channel installation, and soil amendment rather than just mowing over the problem and hoping it resolves itself.
The university environment brings its own landscape needs to Hammond. Properties near Southeastern Louisiana University — rentals, faculty housing, and student-adjacent neighborhoods — cycle through high use and often need more intensive cleanup and restoration work. We offer one-time cleanup services to reset neglected properties and recurring maintenance plans to keep them in good standing. If you manage rental property in Hammond, a reliable grounds care partner is essential, and that's exactly what we provide.
Hammond's climate mirrors what you find across South Louisiana — oppressive summer heat and humidity that drives aggressive turf and weed growth from April through October, followed by a milder winter window that's still warm enough for lawn care work. Fungal diseases like brown patch are particularly common in Hammond's turf during fall when temperatures drop and dew persists longer in the mornings. Our fertilization and fungicide programs are timed to the local growing calendar so your lawn stays thick and healthy through the transition seasons.
Whether you need a landscape partner for a residential property near Cate Square or a full grounds maintenance contract for a commercial site along the I-55 corridor, Apex Grounds Co. has the crew size, equipment, and local expertise to deliver. We're veteran-owned, fully insured, and proud to work in Hammond. Reach out today for a free on-site estimate — no pressure, no commitment, just a clear plan for making your property look its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide landscaping services near Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond?
Yes. We serve both residential and commercial properties throughout Hammond, including properties in the university corridor along SLU Drive and the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. Rental properties near SLU often see heavy use and benefit from our one-time cleanup and recurring maintenance programs to stay presentable between tenants.
Can Apex Grounds Co. help with drainage issues in Hammond's lower-lying subdivisions?
Absolutely. Hammond's flat terrain and the presence of Natalbany Creek drainage basin means standing water after heavy rain is a common complaint across many neighborhoods. We install French drains, surface drainage swales, and pop-up emitters to redirect runoff away from foundations and low spots. We assess each property's grade before recommending the right solution.
Does Apex Grounds handle commercial landscaping maintenance in Hammond?
We do. Hammond's commercial corridors along US-190 and the I-55 interchange support a large number of businesses, retail centers, and office parks. We offer commercial grounds maintenance contracts that keep parking lot borders, entrance beds, and turf areas looking professional year-round. Contact us to discuss a custom maintenance plan for your Hammond commercial property.
What types of grass do you recommend for new sod in Hammond, LA?
For most Hammond properties, St. Augustine grass — particularly Palmetto or Floratam varieties — performs well in the heat and humidity. Centipede grass is a lower-maintenance option for shaded yards. Bermuda works well in full-sun, high-traffic areas. Our team walks your property, evaluates sunlight and soil conditions, and recommends the best variety before any sod goes down.
How does Apex Grounds Co. handle large oak trees common in Hammond yards?
We do not offer tree removal or certified arborist services, but we do provide shrub and tree planting, bed maintenance around established oaks, and cleanup of leaves and debris under large canopy trees. Hammond's mature live oaks and water oaks drop significant amounts of leaf and twig debris, and we offer recurring leaf cleanup programs to keep properties tidy throughout the fall and winter months.
