Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Colchester property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Colchester sits in the northwestern corner of New London County at the intersection of Routes 2 and 11 — the historic Colchester Center along the Town Green, the Westchester section, the Lake Hayward border area shared with East Haddam, the Salem Road corridor, and multi-acre wooded properties out toward the Salem, Marlborough, Hebron, and East Hampton lines. The lots run from mid-size half-acre parcels around the Green to multi-acre estate properties through the back-road sections, and the soils sit on glacial-till loam in the valleys and rockier upland soil on the back-road grades. A tired pallet starts behind on either one. 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 Colchester 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 Town Green parcel or a back-road estate property 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.

Colchester is one of 20 New London County towns on our New London County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Connecticut sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Colchester 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 drought tolerance and resilience against deer browsing. The right choice for the open lots through the Westchester section and the back-road properties where the lawn has to hold up against a dry summer.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Colchester yards — especially the historic Town Green blocks and the wooded back-road properties where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass contributes the rich color; tall fescue adds the deep roots that hold up against deer pressure.
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.

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.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Colchester.
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.
Colchester landscape crews order from us because the Town Green historic district demands consistent product and the back-road install logistics demand a delivery partner that can actually get the pallets to the property.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
We deliver to every Colchester neighborhood — Colchester Center, the Town Green, Westchester, the Lake Hayward area, Salem Road, and the estate properties out toward the Salem, Marlborough, Hebron, East Hampton, and Lebanon lines.
A Colchester delivery heads for the back roads. Out toward the Salem and Marlborough lines the properties sit on long gravel driveways and rocky upland grades that a standard truck does not handle well, so it stops well short of the work. The all-terrain machine gets each pallet past those approaches and sets it where your crew is working rather than at the end of the driveway.
Stone walls and shared right-of-ways run along plenty of those back roads, which we plan around before the truck rolls. If your driveway is long, gravel, or shares a private right-of-way, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan the drop.
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.

Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“Amazing prices! The process was extremely stress-free from ordering online to delivery. Communication was fabulous with the company and the grass is amazing. We do not have an irrigation system and maintained the grass by simply hosing twice a day for 15 minutes. I highly recommend this company.”
“I recently ordered sod from CT Sod and had a great experience overall. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and the delivery arrived promptly the following Monday, right on time. The quality of the sod appears to be excellent — it’s been two weeks since installation, and it’s looking lush and healthy. I appreciate the timely delivery and the high quality of the product. I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.”

“We recently finished a complete backyard remodel with pool & wanted to add sod. CT Sod was excellent to work with & we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! They are professional and prompt & they deliver a high quality product.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. I reached out and they were able to not only give me accurate support in terms of measurements but told me exactly how to prep everything so I was completely ready for the delivery and installation.
