Definitely worth it. Will save you plenty of money. Building my 4th house now and made the drive for my first three and will being doing it on this one. I borrow a buddy's enclosed 20' trailer, but an open trailer with tarp would work. Most places will make you do self-service, but with a little research and planning you will be fine. Just know what you want and what it looks like.

Try Bracy's in Amite. Best plant quality by far. Find a licensed landscaper, pay them to use their license and buy what you want. 1/2 price or more especially for bigger stuff/trees.

We go to Doug Young once a year. I tow a 5x8. My wife tows a 5x8. And my cousin does as well.
We typically buy trees of all kinds. They will wrap everything with paper and string for you for a tip.
Saves us a few hundred bucks a year and is actually quite fun to explore.

The drive between I-49 and 165 on 112 is ridiculous.

Well worth the effort. A covered trailer is best option to bring stuff back. Flat trailer w no sides is much tougher on vegetation.

Doug Young! They sell to anyone. Make a list of exactly what you want. Drive up to the office part and get a map. Write the locations on the map next to each thing on your list. Jot down everything you buy and the price on their purchase sheet. They use an honor system at checkout. We have saved thousands by going there for just one house. 5$ a piece for 36 ileagnus. Hannah Ray bottle brush was 79 at DY and 279 in Lafayette for same size tree. I could go on and on. So worth the drive. You are doing it right by getting an enclosed trailer.

I live in Forest Hill.
DYN is one of the biggest and should have everything you need.
Check out Sam Stokes for vegetables and ornamental/bedding plants. He's probably getting ready to close up for the summer and you might snag some deals.
I should mention my in-laws place as well but since I live on the edge of their property I won't. Don't need you baws creeping around my mobile estate so just got to DYN and stay off my lawn.

Been up there a few times. I found that the small Mom and Pop places are even cheaper. 
So, keep that in mine.
