What started as an entrepreneur with a push mower has grown into one of South Louisiana’s most trusted names in lawn care and landscaping. Owner Connor Schmolke launched Southern Grasshoppers over a decade ago with a simple goal—make every yard look its absolute best. Over the years, that goal evolved into a passion for precision, creativity, and client education.
From the beginning, Connor knew great landscaping was more than just mowing grass—it was about creating outdoor spaces people could be proud of. He invested in honing his craft, adopting the latest techniques, and building a team of skilled, dependable professionals who share his vision. That commitment has paid off, with a loyal client base and hundreds of transformed properties. If you’re lucky, you might even meet Cavalier, Connor’s dog and unofficial job site mascot, who’s sometimes along for the ride.
Today, Southern Grasshoppers offers a full range of services, from lush lawn care and custom landscaping to seasonal lighting and top dressing. But no matter the project, the approach is the same—listen to the client, deliver unmatched quality, and make sure the yard stays just as beautiful long after the job is done.
We’re proud to be a locally owned business that gives homeowners more than just curb appeal. We’re here to raise the standard for lawn care, fix what others couldn’t, and empower you with the knowledge to keep your outdoor space thriving year-round.
At Southern Grasshoppers, our work is driven by principles that keep every project sharp, honest, and unforgettable. These core values shape how we care for your lawn, how we serve our community, and how we make sure every yard we touch stands out for all the right reasons.
