Sod Delivery to Exeter, RI
Fresh-Cut Sod Delivery in Exeter, RI
Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Exeter property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Cut, Loaded, and Delivered Within 24 Hours
Exeter is a rural Washington County town — the Exeter Center crossroads, the Liberty and Fisherville residential pockets, and the large wooded rural lots along Ten Rod Road and Black Plain out toward the Connecticut line. The soil sits on glacial-till loam with sandy-loam pockets and rocky upland sections through the wooded interior. The right variety changes from the shaded older pockets to the open, dry-by-August rural lots. 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 an Exeter Center lot or a wooded Ten Rod Road property 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.

Sod Varieties We Deliver to Exeter
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.
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
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 Black Plain and Ten Rod Road.
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 Exeter Center and Fisherville 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)
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.
Sod Delivery Prices for Exeter Projects
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 |
What is included: The single-pallet prices are all-in pre-tax — $699 for 500 sq ft and $749 for 600 sq ft, each bundling the $99 delivery, the $20 pallet, and the $50 small-order fee. Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. For multi-pallet orders, sod is priced per square foot at the rates above, plus a flat $99 delivery fee and a $20-per-pallet charge (non-refundable). Tall Fescue adds $.10 per square foot to any order, including the single pallet. RTF sod is custom-priced — call for a quote. Our all-terrain forklifts place pallets where you need them on the property. Scheduling is typically 2–7 days from order to delivery. Call (203) 806-4086 for an exact quote on your Exeter project.
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.
The Sod Projects We Deliver For in Exeter
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 Exeter Center or Liberty 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.
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.

Your Exeter Sod Delivery, Start to Finish
We deliver to every Exeter neighborhood — Exeter Center, Liberty, Fisherville, Black Plain, Ten Rod Road, and the residential properties out toward the surrounding town lines.
Truck Access & Delivery Logistics in Exeter
An Exeter delivery runs from the crossroads pockets to the wooded rural lots. Exeter Center and Liberty come with tighter in-village access, the Black Plain and Ten Rod Road sections run to longer rural driveways, and a few of the older blocks carry low-canopy oaks 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.
Long rural driveways and tight in-village access 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.

Why Exeter Chooses CT Sod
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 Rhode Island, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
Caring for New Sod After Delivery
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.
Exeter Landscapers & Contractors
Exeter contractors work a south county market where Exeter Center and Liberty set one aesthetic standard and the Black Plain and Ten Rod Road sections set another. Fresh sod is what carries a finished install across both registers.
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.

“Excellent price and high quality work. All the workers were clean and respectful. The whole process took a few weeks from order to installation however it is well worth the wait. They also sodded extra areas and did some mulch at no charge.”

“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 Rhode Island, 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.

Our Ten Rod Road lot is open, full sun, and runs dry by August. What sod holds up?
On the larger full-sun lots along Black Plain and Ten Rod Road where there is no irrigation and the ground runs dry by August, Tall Fescue is the call — its deep root system outlasts a dry South County summer where a lesser grass burns out. In the shaded older pockets through Exeter Center, Fisherville, and Liberty where the canopy throws heavy afternoon shade, the bluegrass-fescue blend gives you the rich color and the shade tolerance those yards need.
Our Exeter Center block is shaded under old trees. What sod works?
On the shaded older blocks through Exeter Center and Fisherville where the old trees throw heavy afternoon shade, the bluegrass-fescue blend is the call — the bluegrass brings the color and the tall fescue carries the shade tolerance and the deep roots. On the open, full-sun sections of the lot, straight Tall Fescue holds up better through a dry South County stretch.
Our driveway is a long rural run with stone walls along the lane. Where do the pallets go?
On a long rural Exeter driveway with stone walls along the lane the forklift carries each pallet down to where your crew is working rather than leaving it at the road. Tell us the length and any low oaks or tight spots between the walls when you order and we'll plan for it.
