Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Groton property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Groton runs along the southeastern Connecticut shore between the Thames and Mystic Rivers — the Mystic village on the Groton side, the Groton Long Point peninsula, the Noank fishing village, the City of Groton, the Poquonnock Bridge corridor, and the wooded inland properties out toward the Ledyard, Stonington, and Waterford lines, with the Naval Submarine Base, Mystic Seaport, and the Pfizer campus all shaping the town. Lots range from quarter-acre shore-association parcels through Groton Long Point and Noank to multi-acre wooded properties inland, and the soil runs from coastal sandy loam on the shore to glacial-till loam inland. 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 Groton 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 Groton Long Point shore lot or an inland Center Groton 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.
Groton sits along the southeastern-Connecticut shore between the Thames and Mystic Rivers — the Mystic village on the river (the Groton side), the Groton Long Point peninsula, the Noank fishing village, the City of Groton, the Poquonnock Bridge corridor, and the wooded inland properties out toward the Ledyard line. The town is home to the Naval Submarine Base, Mystic Seaport, and Pfizer's campus, so the housing stock runs from tight in-village historic parcels to multi-acre estate properties. Lots range from quarter-acre shore-association lots through Groton Long Point and Noank to multi-acre wooded properties inland, and soils sit on coastal sandy loam on the shore, transitioning to glacial-till loam inland.
Groton is one of 20 New London County towns on our New London County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Connecticut sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Groton 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 — roots reaching several feet down for drought tolerance and salt resilience. The right choice for the Groton Long Point and Noank shore lots where summer wind and salt-spray punish anything with a shallow root system.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Groton yards — especially the historic Mystic village blocks and the inland Poquonnock Bridge sections where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass contributes the rich color the Mystic-village aesthetic demands; tall fescue adds the deep roots and coastal-CT durability.
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.
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.

First time ordering from us? Here is exactly how it works, so there are no surprises.
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 Groton. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
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.
We deliver to every Groton neighborhood — Mystic, Groton Long Point, Noank, City of Groton, Poquonnock Bridge, Old Mystic, Center Groton, Eastern Point, and the inland properties out toward the Ledyard, Stonington, and Waterford lines.
A Groton delivery has to deal with a lot of different access: the Mystic village runs tight on-street parking and summer tourist traffic, Groton Long Point and Noank have narrow shore-association lanes with weight limits, and the Submarine Base and Pfizer corridors carry security considerations near certain addresses. The all-terrain machine handles the tight shore lanes and the inland approaches alike and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the road.
Beach-association lanes and base-adjacent addresses are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your address is in a beach association, near a base entrance, or has a tight gated approach, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan the drop.

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.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Groton.
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.
Groton landscape crews order from us because the Mystic-village aesthetic standard is set by the Seaport and the historic district along Gravel Street and West Main, and the shore-association install windows are tight. Fresh sod delivered on schedule is what keeps the install rotation moving.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
Groton contractors work one of the most landscape-varied towns on the Connecticut shore — the historic Mystic Seaport-adjacent properties, the tight shore-association lawns at Groton Long Point and Noank, and the larger inland estates. Fresh sod is what carries a finished install across all of them.
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.

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!”
“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.”
“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.”
