Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Chatham property. One pallet is a flat, all-in delivered price, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows — see the pricing table below.
Chatham covers both Chatham Borough and Chatham Township in eastern Morris County — the historic Borough village center clustered around the NJ Transit Morris Line train station with its dense Tudor and colonial inventory, the larger estate-style lots through Chatham Township, the Passaic River corridor along the southern edge, and the wooded properties along the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge edge. The soil sits on the NJ Highlands gneiss and granite substrate with glacial-till loam, running more acidic than the Bergen lowlands, and the lawns deal with the eastern-Morris pattern: deep shade from 90- and 100-year-old oaks, tulip poplars, and sugar maples across the Borough blocks, the Passaic flood plain on the lower properties, and a village density that puts every front lawn on display from the sidewalk. A tired pallet cannot meet that standard. 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 arrives ready to perform. Your Chatham 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 Borough front yard near the train station or a Chatham Township estate lot and knit in within about two weeks. It is the opposite of a big-box pallet that has dried out on a lot before the long drive home.

Chatham is one of 10 Morris County towns on our Morris County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader New Jersey sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Chatham 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 — roots reaching several feet down for exceptional drought tolerance and durability. The right choice for the open Chatham Township front lawns where the lawn carries the whole architectural read from the road, and for the family yards through the Borough that take real foot traffic without the daily irrigation pure bluegrass demands.
A balanced blend that performs in the deep mixed sun-and-shade typical of Chatham yards — especially the historic Borough blocks where 100-year-old sugar maples, oaks, and tulip poplars throw heavy afternoon shade across most of the lawn. Bluegrass contributes the rich color expected on a Chatham front lawn; tall fescue adds the deep roots and traffic durability.
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.
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.
Chatham follows New Jersey's statewide fertilizer calendar, and its water utility sets the watering schedule; see the fertilizer law and water restrictions for Chatham.

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.

Delivering Across Chatham
A Chatham delivery runs from the Borough to the Township. The Township lots tend to be large, with long approach drives and heavy canopy overhead, so a standard truck rarely gets close to the install — the all-terrain machine takes the gravel and grass sections and sets each pallet where the work is actually happening. In the dense Tudor-and-colonial Borough the lots are tight and the drop point often crosses a soft front lawn, so the forklift places each pallet without rutting the ground.
Gated drives and soft lawn approaches are the other thing to plan for. We sort it out before the truck rolls. If your drive is gated or the drop point is past a soft lawn area, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan it.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Chatham.
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.
Chatham landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a high-visibility Borough front yard or a Chatham Township estate install.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
First time ordering from us? Here is exactly how it works, so there are no surprises.
Measure your area and call (203) 806-4086. We confirm variety, quantity, and price.
We set a delivery date, typically 2–7 days out, and confirm your address and drop spot.
Your sod is cut fresh and delivered to Chatham. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
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.
Chatham Borough lawns are tight Tudor and colonial-revival blocks where every front yard faces the sidewalk and the next house is fifteen feet away. There is no place for a thin or yellowing install to hide — and the train-line visibility means the lawn gets seen by hundreds of commuters every morning before the homeowner has poured a coffee.
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.
