Cut Today, On Your Lawn Tomorrow

Exeter is the historic seat of Rockingham County and home of Phillips Exeter Academy — the Front Street historic-district blocks around Phillips Exeter, the Water Street commercial corridor, and the Brentwood Road and Hampton Road residential sections. The soil sits on Squamscott River valley loam through the lower in-town blocks and glacial-till loam on the upland residential sections. The right variety changes block to block, from the deep-shade historic streets to the open, dry-by-August family yards on the edges of town. None of that does a tired pallet any favors. 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. Laid 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 Exeter 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 Front Street historic-district lot or a Brentwood Road family 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.

Exeter is one of 7 Seacoast towns on our Seacoast sod delivery hub, and part of our broader New Hampshire sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.

This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Exeter property for you or your landscaper to install. Have your prep, grading, and topsoil ready on delivery day so the sod can go right down.

Kentucky Bluegrass sod close-up showing fine dark blue-green blades Classic Carpet Lawn
☀️ Min sun: 6+ hrs🌳 Shade: Low–Medium

Kentucky Bluegrass Sod

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.

Turf-Type Tall Fescue sod showing deep-rooted wide blades Drought-Tough · +$.10/sq ft
☀️ Min sun: 4+ hrs🌳 Shade: Medium

Turf-Type Tall Fescue Sod

The deepest root system of the common cool-season grasses — several feet down for serious drought and traffic tolerance. The right choice for any full-sun Exeter lot without irrigation, especially the larger family yards through Brentwood Road and Hampton Road.

Tall Fescue complete guide →

Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod showing balanced color and density Most Versatile
☀️ Min sun: 4–6 hrs🌳 Shade: Medium

Bluegrass-Fescue Sod Mix

A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Exeter yards — especially the older blocks through Phillips Exeter and Water Street where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass for the rich color; tall fescue for the deep roots and resilience.

RTF Sod (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)

Sizing Your Exeter Sod Order

Measure the area you want to sod, then match it to the table above. One pallet covers 500–600 square feet.

Measuring Your Area

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.

What Exeter Yards Use Fresh Sod For

Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Exeter.

Full Lawn Replacement

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.

New Construction & Renovations

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.

Bare Spots & Winter Damage

Repairing dead patches, plow damage, or worn areas. A single pallet covers most repair jobs — see fixing bare spots with sod.

Around Pools & Patios

Clean, finished turf right up to hardscape edges. Sod establishes fast in these high-visibility areas — see Kentucky Bluegrass laid around a CT pool.

Landscaper & Contractor Supply

Exeter landscape crews order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Phillips Exeter or Front Street install where the homeowner is watching.

Shaded & Difficult Yards

Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.

Why Order Sod From CT Sod in Exeter

Anyone can drop a pallet in your driveway. Here is what makes our delivery worth ordering.

Cut Fresh, Delivered Fast

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.

Forklift Placement

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.

Honest, Delivered Pricing

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.

The Right Variety for Your Yard

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.

We Know Northeast Lawns

Our blog library covers Best sod for New Hampshire, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.

Once Your Exeter Sod Is Delivered

Sod is a living product. A little planning around delivery day makes all the difference in how well your new lawn establishes.

Lay It the Same Day

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.

Water Within the First Hour

New sod needs water fast and often in the early days. Follow the first 14-day watering guide closely.

Prep the Soil First

Sod roots into what is underneath it. Loose, graded topsoil makes a real difference — see the best topsoil for sod.

Know the Rooting Timeline

New sod knits down over the following weeks and months. Here is how new sod roots over 12 months.

Delivering Sod to Exeter — What to Expect

We deliver to every Exeter neighborhood — Phillips Exeter, Front Street, Water Street, Brentwood Road, Hampton Road, and the residential properties out toward the surrounding town lines.

Delivery Access & Drop-Off in Exeter

An Exeter delivery runs from the historic in-town blocks to the rural edges. Phillips Exeter and Front Street come with tighter in-village access, the Brentwood Road and Hampton Road sections run to longer rural driveways, and a few of the older blocks carry low-canopy trees and stone walls along the lane, so a standard truck handles little of it cleanly. The all-terrain machine covers all of it and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the road.

Tight in-village access and long rural driveways are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your driveway is gated, narrow, or shares a private right-of-way, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan it.

Fresh Sod vs. the Dried-Out Bargain Pallet

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.

I redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.

I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!

I’ve had sod deliveries from CT Sod to properties I have in both Greenwich and Milford. Each sod delivery has been high quality bluegrass sod, and both my neighbors and landscaper admired the quality. Kayla in the office even texts you the exact time it will come the night before. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service and product I received from CT Sod. You will not be disappointed with this sod company.

How soon can you deliver sod to Exeter?

Scheduling is typically 2 to 7 days from when you place your order. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons, so order as early as you can to get the date you want.

Which sod variety should I order?

Kentucky Bluegrass for an irrigated, classic ornamental lawn; Tall Fescue for full sun without irrigation and high traffic; the Bluegrass-Fescue blend for typical mixed sun-and-shade yards; and RTF for homes with dogs. Read Best sod for New Hampshire, or call and describe your yard.

Where will the pallets be placed?

Our trucks carry all-terrain forklifts, so we place pallets where you need them on the property rather than leaving everything at the curb. Tell us your preferred drop spot when you order, and flag any access concerns — gates, narrow drives, soft ground — ahead of time.

Do I need to install the sod the same day it is delivered?

Yes — sod is a living product and should be laid the day it arrives. Have your soil prepped and a plan in place before delivery. See why sod needs to be laid immediately after delivery.

How do I prepare for my sod delivery?

Have the area cleared, graded, and topsoiled before delivery day so the sod can go straight down. See how to prep your yard for sod and the best topsoil for sod.

How do I order sod for delivery to Exeter?

Call (203) 806-4086. We will confirm your variety, square footage, price, and a delivery date, then deliver fresh-cut sod to your Exeter property.

Our Brentwood Road lot is open and runs dry by August. What sod holds up?

On the larger family yards along Brentwood Road and Hampton Road where the lot takes full sun and runs dry by August, Tall Fescue is the call — its roots reach several feet down for the drought and traffic tolerance those open lots need without irrigation. In the older blocks around Phillips Exeter and Water Street where the canopy throws heavy afternoon shade, the bluegrass-fescue blend gives you the rich color while the fescue carries the deep roots and resilience.

Our Front Street block is deep shade under old trees. What sod works?

On the Front Street historic-district blocks around Phillips Exeter where the old trees throw heavy afternoon shade, the bluegrass-fescue blend is the call — the bluegrass brings the rich color a Front Street front lawn expects and the tall fescue adds the deep roots and shade resilience. On the full-sun edges of the lot, straight Tall Fescue holds up better through a dry stretch.

Our place is on a narrow in-village lane near Phillips Exeter. How does delivery work?

On a narrow in-village lane near Phillips Exeter the forklift gets each pallet off the truck and onto your property without tying up the tight access. Tell us about the lane and any low branches or stone walls when you order and we'll plan the approach.

Still have questions? Call (203) 806-4086 and we'll walk you through pricing, scheduling, and prep.
