Sod Varieties for Block Island
Block Island (the town of New Shoreham) sits twelve miles out in the Atlantic — treeless, windswept, and salted on every side, the most exposed ground we serve. Salt tolerance comes first:
Black Beauty Tall Fescue
Deep-Rooted Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium
Deep roots (2–3 ft), drought tolerance, refined look. Strong choice for partial-shade or lower-maintenance sites.
The essential choice out here — tall fescue's deep roots give it the best shot against constant salt wind off the open Atlantic and the island's sandy, clay-streaked soil.
Tall Fescue guide →Bluegrass-Fescue Blends
Most Versatile Min sun: 4–6 hrs Shade: Medium
The bluegrass look with fescue durability underneath. Excellent for properties wanting both aesthetics and resilience.
A salt-tolerant bluegrass-fescue blend for more sheltered inland hollows; the fescue carries the salt load while bluegrass adds color.
Best sod for Rhode Island →RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)
Best for Dogs & Kids Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium
Self-repairing rhizome system fills in damage from foot traffic and dog use over time. Strongest performer for active family lawns.
Good for hard-used summer-rental lawns; self-repairing rhizomes recover from heavy seasonal traffic.
RTF complete guide →Kentucky Bluegrass
The Classic Min sun: 6+ hrs Shade: Low–Medium
Rich color and tight knit-in. The traditional choice for Block Island properties with established irrigation.
Least suited to the island's exposure — straight Kentucky bluegrass struggles with the salt wind, so we only suggest it for sheltered, irrigated spots.

04Local soil, climate & terrain
Sod on Block Island: Twelve Miles Out, All Salt & Wind
Block Island — the town of New Shoreham — is the most exposed place we serve, a treeless island roughly twelve miles off the Rhode Island coast where salt wind blows in from every direction. The soil is sandy and glacial, the moors are open, and there's little natural shelter, so salt tolerance drives every choice: we lead with deep-rooted tall fescue and salt-tolerant blends laid over a generous fresh topsoil base, and steer away from straight bluegrass except in sheltered, irrigated spots.
Getting sod to the island takes planning — deliveries are coordinated with the ferry, so scheduling ahead matters more here than anywhere. Fresh-cut sod establishes far faster than seed in this exposure when watered deeply and consistently early on. See our Rhode Island sod guide, and the Rhode Island sod delivery page for full coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver sod to Block Island, Rhode Island?
Yes — Block Island is part of our standard delivery network. Lead time is typically 2–7 days from order. Call (203) 806-4086 to schedule.
What's the minimum order for Block Island?
One pallet for delivery only — $699 plus tax for 500 sq ft, or $749 plus tax for 600 sq ft. Pricing drops on the per-square-foot tiers shown above as the order grows. For full-service installation, our typical minimum is 1,200 sq ft.
Which sod variety is best for Block Island lawns?
For full-sun lawns with irrigation, Kentucky bluegrass gives the traditional refined look. For drought tolerance or partial shade, tall fescue. For active family use with kids and dogs, RTF (rhizomatous tall fescue) is the strongest performer. We'll match the variety to your specific site during the quote.
How soon do I need to water new sod?
Within minutes of installation completion. The first watering needs to soak the sod and underlying soil deeply. See our first 14 days aftercare guide for the day-by-day protocol.
Do you deliver only, or also install?
Both. Pallet-only delivery starts at one pallet (500 or 600 sq ft). Full-service installation (site prep, grading, sod delivery, installation, watering handoff) is also available across Block Island.
What's the best sod for Block Island's salt and wind?
Deep-rooted, salt-tolerant tall fescue and fescue blends are the only reliable choice in this much exposure. Straight bluegrass struggles with the constant salt wind.
How does delivery to Block Island work?
Deliveries are coordinated with the ferry, so they take extra planning and lead time. Let us know your dates early and we'll arrange the logistics.
Does the sandy island soil need topsoil before sod?
Yes. A generous fresh topsoil base over sandy, glacial island soil is important for water and nutrient retention so new sod can root in. Our installs include it.
Is sod better than seed out here?
Generally yes. Fresh-cut sod establishes far faster than seed in Block Island's wind and salt, giving roots a head start before exposure sets in — with deep, consistent early watering.

“I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!”
