Long Island Sod Delivery Pricing

CT Sod delivers fresh-cut sod across all of Long Island — Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We cut to order and time delivery to the bridge and seasonal traffic schedule, so the sod arrives green and ready to lay — not dried out from sitting on a yard.
Why CT Sod for Long Island
We Are The Farm
Most Long Island yards buy from regional farms and add a markup. We grow it and deliver direct — usually beating yard prices even with the Long Island surcharge.
Sod-Specialist Logistics
Long Island deliveries get the same fresh-cut handling as our Connecticut runs — coordinated cut date, refrigerated transport on hot days, and timing that respects bridge and seasonal traffic.
All-Terrain Forklift
Our trucks carry piggyback forklifts that place pallets on sloped lawns, sandy soft ground, and tight gated-community driveways across Nassau and Suffolk.
Full Project Scope
Pallet-only delivery for contractors and DIY, or full-service installation with site prep, grading, and old-lawn removal — single quote, single crew, one accountable team.
Estate-Scale Capability
Multi-day installs into Gold Coast and North Fork estate properties. The operational capacity small local operators don't have.
Variety Guidance
Sandy soils, salt influence near the Sound, and intense summer sun change what performs on Long Island. Our quote process matches the variety to the site.
Sod Varieties for Long Island

Estate ClassicFor North Shore Gold Coast properties with established irrigation prioritizing the traditional refined estate appearance — Manhasset, Sands Point, Old Westbury, Locust Valley, Oyster Bay.

Full-Service Installation
Most Long Island sod projects benefit from full-service installation rather than pallet-only delivery. Sandy coastal soils, the timing demands of fresh-cut sod, and the scale of typical Nassau and Suffolk projects all favor a crew that does this every day.
Site Assessment & Prep
Grading, topsoil delivery, soil amendment for sandy Long Island sites, removal of existing turf when needed. The full prep scope handled by our crew.
Coordinated Delivery & Install
Fresh-cut sod and our installation crew arrive together — no waiting, no wilting, no compromised material sitting in the Long Island sun.
Precision Installation
Brickwork-staggered seams, tight joints, smooth grading. Rolled for soil contact before we leave the site.
Watering Protocol Handoff
Detailed day-by-day instructions for the first 14 days — especially important on sandy Long Island soils that drain fast — first-mow timing, and what to expect over the next 12 months.
