Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Deal property. Monmouth County / Jersey Shore orders use our standard per-square-foot pricing with a 1,200 sq ft minimum (two pallets) — full rates in the pricing table below.
Deal is one of the smallest and highest-value boroughs on the Jersey Shore — large oceanfront and near-ocean estate lots, the lakefront sections around Deal Lake, and single-family properties built on multi-million-dollar lots within walking distance of the beach. The soil is sandy coastal loam over deeper sand with a high water table, and most lawns sit in full sun with steady salt exposure off the ocean. A tired pallet has no chance against that. 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 Deal 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 an oceanfront estate lot or a Deal Lake lakefront yard 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.
Deal is one of the smallest and highest-value boroughs on the Jersey Shore — large oceanfront and near-ocean estate lots, the lakefront sections around Deal Lake, and the kind of single-family properties built on multi-million-dollar lots within walking distance of the beach. Soils here are sandy coastal loam over deeper sand with high water table, and most lawns sit in full sun with steady salt exposure.
Deal is one of 53 Monmouth County towns on our Monmouth 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 Deal 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 right choice for Deal’s sandy, fast-draining soils and salt exposure — deep roots reach moisture the top layer cannot hold, and the salt tolerance keeps the lawn from browning out within one summer the way pure bluegrass does on an oceanfront lot.
A bluegrass-fescue blend for the typical Deal estate lawn — full sun, sandy soil, and the visibility that comes with an oceanfront or lakefront property. Fescue carries the salt and drought tolerance; bluegrass adds the color.
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 — Monmouth County / Jersey Shore requires a 1,200 sq ft minimum (two pallets). Orders are priced per square foot on a sliding scale.
| Order Size | Pallets | Price | Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
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 Deal. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
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.
Monmouth County / Jersey Shore pricing follows our standard per-square-foot scale — no regional surcharge, no hidden fees on delivery day. Two-pallet (1,200 sq ft) minimum.
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 NJ shore properties, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
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.
Delivering Across Deal
A Deal delivery works a small, high-value Shore borough where most properties sit close to the ocean or Deal Lake. The lots run large, the soil goes soft, and the drives are narrow with the occasional gated entry, so a standard truck tears up the turf before it reaches the work. The all-terrain machine handles sand and grass without tearing things up and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the street.
Soft turf and gated entries are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. Call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can confirm the drop point.

Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Deal.
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.
Deal landscapers order from us because the sod arrives fresh and the delivery time holds — critical on a season-deadline install where the family is arriving in two weeks and the front lawn has to be tight by then.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
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.
Deal sod jobs are tied to season deadlines on multi-million-dollar oceanfront and lakefront homes. Fresh sod that knits in within two weeks is what closes out the install before the family arrives.
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.

“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.

I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.”

“We had a great experience with CT Sod. After our pool installation, our yard needed significant cleanup and restoration. Their team did an excellent job prepping the area with quality topsoil and installing the new sod. They were professional, friendly, and especially careful working around our brand-new pool and patio. Communication was easy throughout the process via text, and they took the time to recommend the right type of sod specifically for the conditions in our yard. The finished lawn exceeded our expectations and looks fantastic. They also provided great value—we were able to use the extra topsoil and sod to improve other areas of our property. Overall, very happy with the quality of the work and the entire experience with CT Sod.”
“Excellent company to deal with. They answered all my questions, the prices are good and the delivery was excellent and on time. Kayla was very helpful and awesome with updates.”
