Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Chilmark property. Martha's Vineyard orders are priced per square foot ($0.30/sq ft adjustment, 1200 sq ft minimum) with volume pricing as your project grows.
Chilmark sits on the up-island western end of Martha’s Vineyard between West Tisbury, Aquinnah, Vineyard Sound, and the Atlantic, with one of the highest median home values and lowest population densities in Massachusetts — Chilmark Center at Beetlebung Corner, the Menemsha fishing harbor, one of the last working fishing harbors in southern New England, the Squibnocket and Lucy Vincent Beach estate blocks on the south shore, and the West Tisbury-line and Aquinnah-line up-island streets. The soil runs from sandy outwash across most of the family blocks to barrier-beach and dune sand along Squibnocket and Lucy Vincent to glacial till loam through the inland blocks. On the top-AOV estate corridor the standard is exacting, and a tired pallet starts behind. Sod is a living crop cut from the field, and a pallet left stacked declines fast: the core heats, the blades yellow, and the roots release the soil they grew in. Set onto dry, salt-exposed, sandy ground from an aged pallet, sod that is already weakened has little chance to root before it browns.
We cut to order so it arrives with everything it has. Your Chilmark load is harvested the morning of delivery or the evening before and on the truck within a day, reaching you cool and still rooted — ready to lay on a Squibnocket estate lot or a Beetlebung Corner front yard and knit in within about two weeks. It is the opposite of a retail pallet that has dried out on a lot for days before anyone hauls it home.

Chilmark is one of 5 Dukes County towns on our Dukes 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 Chilmark 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 Squibnocket and Lucy Vincent Beach estate front lawns where sandy outwash and salt exposure defeat shallower-rooted blends, and for the outer family yards that carry kids, dogs, and weekend foot traffic.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Chilmark yards — the Chilmark Center / Beetlebung Corner blocks and Menemsha with mature oaks throwing afternoon shade, and the outer family blocks with mixed sun. Bluegrass contributes the rich color a Squibnocket or Lucy Vincent estate front lawn expects; tall fescue adds the deep roots and salt-exposure tolerance the Vineyard geology 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.
Martha's Vineyard pricing — $0.30/sq ft adjustment across all varieties, with a 1200 sq ft minimum order.
| Order Size | Pallets | Base Price | Martha's Vineyard Adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,200–2,000 sq ft | 2–4 pallets | $.75 / sq ft | $1.05 / sq ft |
| 2,100–3,900 sq ft | 4–8 pallets | $.70 / sq ft | $1.00 / sq ft |
| 4,000+ sq ft | 8+ pallets | $.66 / sq ft | $.96 / sq ft |
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.
Martha's Vineyard pricing is transparent — the $0.30/sq ft adjustment is built into every quote, no hidden fees on delivery day.
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.

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.
We deliver to every Chilmark neighborhood — Chilmark Center / Beetlebung Corner, the Menemsha fishing harbor, the Squibnocket and Lucy Vincent Beach estate blocks on the south shore, and the West Tisbury-line and Aquinnah-line up-island streets.
A Chilmark delivery starts at the ferry. Getting anything up-island means a Steamship Authority freight crossing from Woods Hole before the truck is even on the island, and the up-island drive from the ferry terminal adds real time on top of that, so every Chilmark delivery takes advance planning. Once we arrive, the all-terrain machine handles the long private driveways off South Road and through the south-shore estate blocks, setting each pallet at the work site rather than the road’s edge.
Ferry freight slots fill up fast, especially through the summer, so the reservation has to be locked in well ahead. Call (203) 806-4086 before you order so we can lock in the ferry reservation and coordinate timing with your crew.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Chilmark.
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 — 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.
Chilmark landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Squibnocket estate install or a Beetlebung Corner front lawn the broker tour will see within the week. Up-island Chilmark clients judge sod installs against the established Squibnocket estate neighbor — the standard is exacting.
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 Chilmark. 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.
Chilmark contractors work the top-AOV market on Martha’s Vineyard — Squibnocket and Lucy Vincent Beach clients judge a sod install against the established up-island estate neighbor through one of the tightest broker networks in Massachusetts. Fresh sod that knits in clean within two weeks is what holds the referral pipeline.
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.

From start to finish, the sod delivery and installation process was flawless. Hugo and his team did an amazing job with installation. Your communication was excellent, the quality of the sod was superb, and the installation was carried out with precision and care. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend your services to anyone in need. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!”
“Placing an order online was easy, they answered a follow up email quickly and texted the day before our schedule delivery date to give me a window for the delivery. The delivery was made on time, and so far the sod is looking good.”
“Highly recommend CT Sod. Sean was a pleasure to work with and the quality is top notch. Weather had delayed the delivery for a few days, so Sean and his crew installed the sod free of charge for the inconvenience. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I will be using CT Sod for all of my sod in the future.”
“Very easy to work with. Responsive to my urgent needs (upcoming wedding reception at home). Competitive price. When their contracted scalper overscalped, CT Sod came in and filled with additional sod at no charge - no fuss at all. Came out great!”
