Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Fair Haven property. Monmouth County / Two River orders use our standard per-square-foot pricing with a 1,200 sq ft minimum (two pallets).
Fair Haven is a small Two River borough on the Navesink River between Rumson and Red Bank — walkable family neighborhoods, the older sections near the river, and a downtown that runs along River Road. The soil is sandy coastal loam, and the lawns deal with the standard Two River pattern: full-sun front lots, mature shade through the interior, and the soft river-edge grades on the waterfront properties. 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 Fair Haven 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 full-sun front lot or a Navesink waterfront 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.
Fair Haven sits on the Navesink River between Rumson and Red Bank — a small Two River borough built around walkable family neighborhoods, the older sections near the river, and a downtown that runs along River Road. Soils are sandy coastal loam, and most lawns deal with the standard Two River pattern: full-sun front lots, mature shade in the interior, and the soft river-edge grades on the waterfront properties.
Fair Haven 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 Fair Haven 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.
Tall fescue handles Fair Haven’s sandy coastal soils well — deep roots reach moisture the fast-draining top layer cannot hold, and the grass keeps color through the summer without daily irrigation.
A bluegrass-fescue blend for the typical Fair Haven family lawn — mixed sun and shade, walkable lot sizes, and the kind of foot traffic that comes with a Two River family home. Bluegrass for color, fescue for the deep roots.
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 / Two River 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.

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 Fair Haven. 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 / Two River 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 Northern NJ estate 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 Fair Haven
A Fair Haven delivery is mostly walkable family lots with the occasional Navesink waterfront property where the access is tight and the ground runs soft. A roadside drop leaves the sod a long way from the install on the deeper lots, and the river-edge grades are no place for a standard truck. The all-terrain machine sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the street.
Tight waterfront access and soft river-edge ground are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your drop point is past a soft area or a gate, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan it.

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 Fair Haven.
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.
Fair Haven landscapers order from us because the sod arrives fresh and the delivery time holds — no dried-out pallets showing up on a waterfront install or a front-lawn rebuild.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
Fair Haven sod jobs run from front-lawn rebuilds to phased waterfront installs through Two River landscape architects. Fresh sod that knits in clean is what closes out the project on schedule.
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.
Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“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.”
“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”
“Amazing service and product. Kayla and the entire team at CTSOD were a pleasure to work with.”
“We used CT sod it was an excellent experience very high-quality grass with fair pricing and excellent communication highly recommend them to anyone looking for sod any questions I had when installing it they walked me through it will be using them from now on any sod job I get.”
“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.”
“These guys are the real deal. Great price for great quality and most of all great service. Definitely recommend them.”
