“Best sod company around. We've used them on about 5 of our Hamptons properties and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Sean and his employees are thorough, neat, and stick to their schedule. Top quality. High recommend.”

Same-Day Cut, Next-Day Delivery
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.
Sod Types Available for Fairhaven Delivery
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 — 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.
Bluegrass-Fescue Sod Mix
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.
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 Pricing for Fairhaven
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 Fairhaven project.
How Much Sod Does Your Fairhaven Project Need?
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 Fairhaven
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Fairhaven.
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
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.
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-Cut Sod Is the Whole Point
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.
What to Expect From Fairhaven Sod Delivery
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.
Getting the Truck Into Your Fairhaven Property
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.
What You Get Ordering Sod in Fairhaven
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 Massachusetts lawns, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
After Your 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.

“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.”

“I recently dealt with Sean and Kayla to set up a sod installation around a new pool - couldn’t be happier with the process, price, and results. Highly recommend CT Sod - you won’t be disappointed with this company. I snapped this while the guys were working. In 4 hours they almost had the whole 5,000 square feet of fresh Kentucky Bluegrass installed. Results speak for themselves.”

“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.”

The lawn has rooted well and looks healthy and beautiful. We're very happy with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new sod installation. Thank you for a job well done!”

How soon can you deliver sod to Fairhaven?
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 Massachusetts lawns, 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 Fairhaven?
Call (203) 806-4086. We will confirm your variety, square footage, price, and a delivery date, then deliver fresh-cut sod to your Fairhaven property.
Our Sconticut Neck lot is sandy and takes constant salt-air. What sod holds up?
On 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, Tall Fescue is the call — its roots reach several feet down for the drought tolerance and the salt-air resilience those lots need. On the family yards through North Fairhaven that carry kids, dogs, and weekend foot traffic, the tall fescue durability holds up well.
Our Fairhaven Center block has Rogers-era oaks throwing afternoon shade. What sod works?
In Fairhaven Center where the Rogers-era oaks throw afternoon shade, the bluegrass-fescue blend is the call — the bluegrass brings the rich color a renovated Fairhaven Center front lawn expects and the tall fescue adds the deep roots and the salt-air and dry-summer tolerance the harbor-front conditions demand. On the Sconticut Neck blocks with mixed sun and salt exposure, the blend handles the swing well.
Our place is out on West Island past the causeway. Can you still deliver?
Yes — the run down Sconticut Neck and across the causeway to West Island is routine for us. The forklift handles the narrow approach that leaves a standard truck no room and carries each pallet to where your crew is set up. Tell us you are on West Island or a tight harbor-front lot when you order and we'll plan the run.
