Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Fairhaven property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Fairhaven sits on the east bank of New Bedford harbor between New Bedford, Acushnet, Mattapoisett, and the open waters of Buzzards Bay, a historic harbor and Henry Huttleston Rogers Gilded Age town — Fairhaven Center with its Rogers-funded Town Hall, library, and high school, the North Fairhaven family section, the Sconticut Neck peninsula running south to West Island, the harbor-front blocks across from downtown New Bedford, and the Buzzards Bay-front estate streets. The soil runs from glacial outwash sandy loam across most of the family blocks to coastal alluvium along the harbor and Sconticut Neck to thinner topsoil over till on the higher inland grades. 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 Fairhaven 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 Fairhaven Center front lawn or a Sconticut Neck 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.

Fairhaven is one of 20 Bristol County towns on our Bristol County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Massachusetts sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Fairhaven 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 — the right pick for the sandy outwash Sconticut Neck and West Island front lawns where the South Coast summer runs hot and dry and the salt-air exposure is constant, and for the family yards through North Fairhaven that carry kids, dogs, and weekend foot traffic.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Fairhaven yards — Fairhaven Center with its Rogers-era oaks throwing afternoon shade, and the Sconticut Neck blocks with mixed sun and salt exposure. Bluegrass contributes the rich color a renovated Fairhaven Center front lawn expects; tall fescue adds the deep roots and salt-air / dry-summer tolerance the harbor-front conditions demand.
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.

Your sod is cut fresh and delivered to Fairhaven. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Fairhaven.
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.
Fairhaven landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Fairhaven Center install or a Sconticut Neck front lawn the daily summer beach traffic will see within the week.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
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.
We deliver to every Fairhaven neighborhood — Fairhaven Center, the North Fairhaven family section, the Sconticut Neck peninsula, the West Island section, and the New Bedford-harbor blocks.
A Fairhaven delivery has one stretch that trips up standard trucks: the run down Sconticut Neck to West Island. The causeway narrows as it goes and leaves a standard rig nowhere to maneuver once it is committed, and the harbor-front lots run tight. The all-terrain machine handles the approach and puts each pallet where your crew is working rather than wherever the truck happened to stop.
The West Island causeway and the tight harbor-front lots are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If you are on West Island or a tight harbor-front lot, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan the run.
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.

“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.”
“Shawn at CT Sod was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and kept the cost within my budget. Great service and easy to work with — highly recommend!”
“What a great experience from beginning to end! It was a pleasure doing business with CT Sod! One of the best businesses in Stamford. Sean was extremely helpful during every step of the process. So happy we went with them! Thank you CT Sod for the great quality product and for the smooth delivery. Highly recommend 👌 10/10 in our book!”
“Sean was great to work with. We set my sod install up in just a matter of days and his guys are fast and efficient and explain to me how to take care of My new sod. I would definitely recommend.”
“Working with CT Sod was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and made the whole process seamless. The pricing was extremely fair, and the quality of the sod exceeded expectations — it looked beautiful the moment it was laid down. Installation was fast, efficient, and done right. Highly recommend CT Sod to anyone looking for a smooth, professional experience and stunning results!”
“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.”
