Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your New Milford property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
New Milford is the largest town in Connecticut by area at 64 square miles, and that scale shows on every delivery — the village-scale lots around the historic Green and Bank Street, the river-bottom properties along the Housatonic, and the hill-country acreage of Northville, Merryall, Gaylordsville, and the slopes of Candlewood Mountain, with the Candlewood Lake and Lake Waramaug edges in the mix. The soil ranges from rich Housatonic floodplain loam down by the river to thin glacial-till over ledge on the high ground, and the right sod variety changes accordingly. 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 New Milford 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 Merryall hill-country lot or a Housatonic river-corridor lawn 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.
New Milford is the largest town in Connecticut by area, and that scale shows on every delivery — from the village-scale lots around the historic green and Bank Street, to the river-bottom properties along the Housatonic, up to the hill-country acreage of Northville, Merryall, Gaylordsville, and the slopes of Candlewood Mountain. Soil here ranges from rich Housatonic floodplain loam down by the river to thin glacial-till over ledge on the high ground, and the right sod variety changes accordingly.
New Milford is one of 26 Litchfield County towns on our Litchfield 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 New Milford 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 exceptional drought tolerance and durability without irrigation. The right choice for New Milford's full-sun horse-farm pastures and the open hill-country lots through Merryall and Gaylordsville where running an in-ground sprinkler across acreage is not practical.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most New Milford properties — especially the wooded lots through Northville, Lanesville, and the back roads off Candlewood Mountain Road where mature trees throw heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass contributes the rich color; tall fescue adds the deep roots that match how Litchfield County lawns are actually watered.
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.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in New Milford.
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.
New Milford landscape crews order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Northville renovation or a long front-lawn install along the Housatonic River corridor.
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 Litchfield County, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
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.
We deliver to every New Milford neighborhood — Gaylordsville, Northville, Merryall, Lanesville, Boardman, the historic Green and Bank Street, Candlewood Mountain, and the river-corridor blocks along the Housatonic.
A New Milford delivery has its own profile — long gravel driveways through Northville and Merryall, steep climbs up Candlewood Mountain Road, dirt roads on the Sherman and Bridgewater fringes that turn soft in spring, and tight historic blocks around the village green with parallel parking and one-way restrictions. The all-terrain machine handles most of it and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than at the road.
The long gravel hill-country drives and the spring-soft dirt roads 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 it in advance.

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.

Your sod is cut fresh and delivered to New Milford. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
New Milford contractors work the largest town by area in Connecticut — 64 square miles running from the historic Village Green and the Housatonic River corridor out to Candlewood Lake, Lake Waramaug edge, and the wooded Northville and Merryall ridges. The drives are long, the lots have hundreds of feet of frontage, and a thin install shows from the road for that whole distance. Fresh sod is what holds up.
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.

“What a great experience from beginning to end! It was a pleasure doing business with CT Sod! One of the best businesses in Stamford. Sean was extremely helpful during every step of the process. 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!”
“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!”
“ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Product was delivered on-time and as fresh as it gets. We installed sod about 2 years ago. With regular watering and fertilizing it looks very good. Highly recommend this company!”
“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 redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.”
“Working with CT Sod was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and made the whole process seamless. The pricing was extremely fair, and the quality of the sod exceeded expectations — it looked beautiful the moment it was laid down. Installation was fast, efficient, and done right. Highly recommend CT Sod to anyone looking for a smooth, professional experience and stunning results!”
