Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Boston property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Boston is really a dozen lawns in one city — the leafy outer ring of West Roxbury, Roslindale, and Hyde Park where front and back lawns are real, sitting over Roxbury puddingstone ledge close to the surface, and the inner row-house core on deep tidal fill where a yard might be a back garden behind a triple-decker. The shallow ledge and the heavy oak shade both punish a tired pallet. Sod is a living crop, and a pallet left stacked declines fast: the core heats, the blades yellow, and the roots release the field soil, so an aged pallet is behind before it roots.
We cut to order so it shows up ready. Your Boston load is harvested the morning of delivery or the evening before and on the truck within a day, arriving cool and still rooted — ready to lay on a West Roxbury front lawn or a Jamaica Plain Pondside back yard and knit in within about two weeks. It is the opposite of a box-store pallet that has dried out on a rack for days before you cart it home.
Boston is a city of distinct neighborhoods with very different lawn realities — the leafy outer ring of West Roxbury, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain’s Pondside, and Hyde Park where front and back lawns are real and the houses are Victorian and Colonial Revival singles; the Dorchester triple-decker blocks of Ashmont, Lower Mills, Savin Hill, and Adams Village; the Charlestown row houses with small grass strips above the Mystic; the South Boston triple-deckers and waterfront infill; the Allston-Brighton two-family and three-family blocks with pocket yards; and the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and South End row houses with rear alley gardens. Soils run from Cambridge slate and Roxbury Puddingstone ledge close to the surface in JP, West Roxbury, and Roslindale, to deep tidal fill in Back Bay, South End, and South Boston, to glacial till loam in Hyde Park and Mattapan. The sod demand concentrates in the outer ring — the inner core orders pallets but typically as small back-yard or alley-garden installs.
Boston is one of 4 Suffolk County towns on our Suffolk County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Massachusetts sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Boston property for you or your landscaper to install. Have your soil prep, grading, and topsoil ready on delivery day so the sod can go straight down.
Cool-season sod suited to Northeast lawns. Not sure which fits your property? Call (203) 806-4086 and describe your sun, shade, and foot traffic — we will point you to the right one.
The most recognizable cool-season sod in the Northeast — fine, dark blue-green blades and the dense "carpet lawn" look homeowners associate with premium turf. It self-repairs through underground rhizomes, filling in bare spots naturally. Best for properties with irrigation and full to lightly shaded sun.
The deepest root system of the common cool-season grasses — the right pick for the West Roxbury and Roslindale family yards that carry kids and dogs through the school year, and for the Jamaica Plain Pondside and Hyde Park lots where mature oak shade and shallow ledge limit root depth for shallower-rooted blends.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Boston neighborhood yards — the West Roxbury and Roslindale streets where 100-year oaks throw deep afternoon shade, and the Hyde Park family blocks with mixed sun. Bluegrass contributes the rich color expected on a Boston front lawn; tall fescue adds the deep roots and shade tolerance the city’s tree canopy demands.
A premium tall fescue cultivar with underground runners that fill in bare spots, worn paths, and pet-urine damage automatically. The most dog-resistant cool-season sod available — the right choice for households where standard sod has failed before. Custom pricing; call for a quote.
Straightforward, delivered pricing. One pallet is a flat all-in price; larger orders are priced per square foot on a sliding scale.
| Order Size | Pallets | Price | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 sq ft | 1 pallet | $699 flat | Included |
| 600 sq ft | 1 pallet | $749 flat | Included |
| 600–1,100 sq ft | 1–2 pallets | $.90 / sq ft | + $99 |
| 1,200–2,000 sq ft | 2–4 pallets | $.75 / sq ft | + $99 |
| 2,100–3,900 sq ft | 4–8 pallets | $.70 / sq ft | + $99 |
| 4,000+ sq ft | 8+ pallets | $.66 / sq ft | + $99 |
Measure the area you want to sod, then match it to the table above. One pallet covers 500–600 square feet.
For a simple rectangular lawn, multiply length by width to get square footage. For irregular yards, break the space into rectangles, measure each, and add them together. It is smart to add about 5–10% extra for cuts, curves, and trimming around beds, walkways, and trees.
Sod is sold by the pallet, so orders round up to the next full pallet. If your project measures 900 square feet, you will order 2 pallets. Not sure how to measure or which tier you land in? Call (203) 806-4086 with your rough dimensions and we will size it with you in a couple of minutes. You can also read how much sod comes on a pallet for more detail.
Anyone can drop a pallet in your driveway. Here is what makes our delivery worth ordering.
We coordinate the harvest with your delivery date. Your sod is cut within days of delivery, not pulled from a pile that has been baking for a week. Fresh sod roots faster and greens up stronger.
Our trucks carry all-terrain forklifts, so pallets get placed where you actually need them — not dumped at the end of the driveway. That saves you and your crew from hauling heavy sod across the property by hand.
One pallet is a flat $699 with delivery included — no surprises at checkout. Larger orders follow a clear per-square-foot scale. You always know what you are paying before the truck rolls.
Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, blend, or RTF — we help you match the sod to your sun, shade, traffic, and whether you have dogs. The wrong variety is the most common reason new lawns disappoint.
Our blog library covers Best sod for the Boston area, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Boston.
Tearing out a tired, weedy, or patchy lawn and starting fresh. Sod gives you an instant, established-looking lawn the day it goes down — no waiting through a season of seeding and bare dirt.
After a build, addition, pool install, or hardscape project, the yard needs turf. Fresh sod finishes the property quickly and cleanly once grading is done.
Repairing dead patches, plow damage, or worn areas. A single pallet covers most repair jobs — see fixing bare spots with sod.
Clean, finished turf right up to hardscape edges. Sod establishes fast in these high-visibility areas — see Kentucky Bluegrass laid around a CT pool.
Boston landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Charlestown row-house install, a West Roxbury front lawn that the entire neighborhood walks past on the way to the T, or a Jamaica Plain Pondside back yard where the install has to be done before the next condo association meeting.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
The most common sod mistake is buying on price alone and ending up with old, dried-out turf. Sod that has sat too long arrives yellow, brittle, and slow to root — and no amount of watering fully recovers it. By the time it fails, the money is already spent.
Fresh, recently harvested sod is the whole point. We cut to order and deliver within a tight window so the turf goes down healthy. If you want the background on how this goes wrong elsewhere, read the sod delivery scam and how to stop it and how long sod can sit before laying.
We deliver across Boston — West Roxbury, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Dorchester (Ashmont, Lower Mills, Savin Hill, Adams Village), Mattapan, Charlestown, South Boston, Allston-Brighton, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, and the North End where rear gardens exist.
Boston delivery depends on the neighborhood. The outer ring — West Roxbury, Roslindale, Hyde Park — works like any suburb, with real driveways and yards, though the puddingstone ledge on the higher blocks firms up the footing. Closer to the core, the Dorchester triple-deckers, Charlestown row houses, and South Boston blocks put the actual work site behind the building, where a standard truck cannot get near it, so the all-terrain machine carries each pallet through to the back yard or alley garden.
Parking is the other constraint: permit-only zones and narrow one-way streets mean the load cannot just sit out front. The forklift places each pallet where your crew is working rather than on the street. If you are in a permit-only zone, or your access is through a private alley, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can sort out the logistics ahead of time.

Sod is a living product. A little planning around delivery day makes all the difference in how well your new lawn establishes.
Sod should go down the day it arrives. Have your prepped soil ready and a plan to install before delivery — see why sod needs to be laid immediately.
New sod needs water fast and often in the early days. Follow the first 14-day watering guide closely.
Sod roots into what is underneath it. Loose, graded topsoil makes a real difference — see the best topsoil for sod.
New sod knits down over the following weeks and months. Here is how new sod roots over 12 months.
Boston contractors work a market where front lawns are visible to the entire neighborhood — West Roxbury and Roslindale Colonials face the school commute, Jamaica Plain Pondside houses face the Arboretum walking traffic, and Charlestown row-house grass strips face the daily Bunker Hill foot traffic. Fresh sod that knits in clean within two weeks is what holds the referral pipeline through the next condo board, broker tour, and Realtor walk-through.
We deliver fresh-cut pallets on a predictable schedule, with forklift placement that saves your crew the backbreaking haul across the property. For recurring orders or multi-job scheduling, call (203) 806-4086 and talk to us directly.
