“I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!”
Fresh-Cut Sod Delivery in Lyme, CT
Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Lyme property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Harvested Fresh, Delivered Within 24 Hours
Lyme is one of the most carefully preserved estate towns on the Connecticut River, tucked between Old Lyme and East Haddam — the Hamburg village along Route 156, the Hadlyme village with its ferry across the river to East Haddam, the North Lyme section, the Joshuatown area, and multi-acre wooded estate properties throughout. The town runs heavily to multi-acre estate zoning with colonial-era and Federal-era homes, and the soil sits on glacial-till loam in the valleys and rockier upland soil on the hill 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 Lyme 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 Hamburg village lawn or a back-road estate 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.

The Sod We Grow & Deliver to Lyme
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 — roots reaching several feet down for drought tolerance and resilience against the heavy deer pressure that defines back-road Lyme properties. The right choice for the open lots through the estate corridors where irrigation isn't always practical.
Bluegrass-Fescue Sod Mix
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Lyme yards — especially the wooded back-road estate properties where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade across multi-acre lawns. Bluegrass contributes the rich color the estate-property aesthetic demands; tall fescue adds the deep roots that hold up against deer pressure.
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.
Lyme Sod Delivery Pricing
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 |
Sizing Your Lyme Sod Order
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.
What Sets Our Lyme Sod Delivery Apart
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

The Sod Projects We Deliver For in Lyme
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Lyme.
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
Lyme landscape crews order from us because the multi-acre estate-property aesthetic standard is uncompromising and the back-road install logistics demand a delivery partner that can actually get the pallets to the property.
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.

How Lyme Sod Delivery Works
We deliver to every Lyme neighborhood — Hamburg, Hadlyme, North Lyme, Joshuatown, and the estate properties out toward the Old Lyme, East Haddam, Salem, and East Lyme lines.
Delivery Logistics in Lyme
A Lyme delivery has its own profile — the Hamburg and Hadlyme villages carry tight on-street parking and aesthetic-review considerations along the historic district, the Hadlyme Ferry corridor sees seasonal traffic, and the multi-acre back-road estate properties run long gravel driveways with gated entrances and stone-wall right-of-ways. The all-terrain machine handles most of it and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the road.
Gated gravel drives and the stone-wall right-of-ways are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your driveway is gated, gravel, or shares a private right-of-way, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan the drop.
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.
Buy Fresh Sod — Avoid the Dried-Out Trap
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.
Placing Your Lyme Sod Order
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 Lyme. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
Lyme Landscapers & Contractors
Lyme contractors work one of the most-preserved estate towns on the Connecticut River, where the Hamburg village, the Hadlyme historic district, and the multi-acre back-road estate properties each set their own register. 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.
