Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Maplewood property. One pallet is a flat, all-in delivered price, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows — see the pricing table below.
Maplewood is the classic Midtown Direct commuter town — center-hall Colonials and Tudors from the 1910s and '20s on tree-lined blocks around Maplewood Village, with the west side climbing toward South Mountain Reservation and the flatter Hilton section to the southeast. The lawns here deal with mature oak and maple shade, heavy Piedmont clay, and the front-of-house visibility of a walkable town where every lawn sits close to the sidewalk. 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 Maplewood 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 Village-side front lawn or a shaded backyard off Ridgewood Road 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.

Maplewood is one of 23 Essex County towns on our Essex County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader New Jersey sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Maplewood 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 deep-rooted choice for the shadier Maplewood blocks and the grade on the streets up toward South Mountain Reservation — tall fescue pushes roots through the clay and holds color through a dry August without daily irrigation.
A balanced bluegrass-fescue blend for the typical Maplewood lawn — mature shade over most of the yard, a sun pocket near the sidewalk, and the kid-and-dog traffic of a family block. Bluegrass for the color out front; fescue for the deep roots and shade tolerance.
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.
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.
Maplewood follows New Jersey's statewide fertilizer calendar, and its water utility sets the watering schedule; see the fertilizer law and water restrictions for Maplewood.

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 Maplewood. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
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.
Delivering Across Maplewood
A Maplewood delivery is built around the older streetscape — mature street trees over the road, narrow drives between close-set houses, and compact rear yards where the work is actually happening. A roadside drop on a block like that leaves pallets in everyone's way, so the all-terrain machine carries each one off the truck and sets it at the drive apron, the side yard, or right at the edge of the install.
Tight parking and soft front lawns are the things to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your street parks tight or the drop crosses a soft lawn area, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan it.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Maplewood.
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.
Maplewood landscapers order from us because the sod shows up fresh and the delivery window holds — no yellowed inner-stack rolls arriving on a front-lawn job the whole block walks past on the way to the Village.
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.

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.
Our blog library covers Best sod for Northern NJ estate properties, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
A Maplewood front lawn is visible from the sidewalk the day it goes down, and the homeowner hears about it at school pickup that week. Fresh sod that knits in within two weeks is what lets a landscaper close out the job clean — not sod that sat stacked at a wholesale yard while the color drained out of it.
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.

“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.”
“CT Sod was very easy to work with. The communication about delivery was very accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing customer service and outstanding product. Best sod I have seen in 10 years of garden design & landscaping.”
“We had a fantastic experience with CT Sod. Kayla was awesome. She was responsive, knowledgeable, easy to work with and delivered high-quality sod on time as scheduled. We went with the blue grass/fescue mix which looks amazing and I would definitely recommend their product.”
