Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Newton property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Newton is unique among Boston suburbs — thirteen distinct villages, each with its own character, packed into a city-of-villages footprint between the Charles River and Route 9. The property mix is one of the most varied in MetroWest: tight in-village walkable blocks through Newton Centre, Newtonville, and Newton Highlands; classic 1920s–1950s Tudor and Colonial Revival neighborhoods through West Newton Hill, Waban, and Auburndale; the larger estate-scale lots of Chestnut Hill and the streets off Hammond Pond Parkway; and the river-corridor blocks along Quinobequin Road and Lower Falls. The lawns sit on glacial-till loam and deal with the universal Newton pattern of mature street-tree canopy from 80-year-old maples and oaks, sidewalk-edge compaction, and root competition. 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 Newton 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 Chestnut Hill estate lawn or a West Newton Hill front 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.

Newton is one of 5 Greater Boston towns on our Greater Boston sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Massachusetts sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Newton 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 the full-sun Newton front-yard lawns along Chestnut Hill and the open lots through West Newton Hill where the lawn has to handle dogs, kids, and full sidewalk foot traffic without falling apart by August.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Newton yards — especially the classic village neighborhoods through Waban, Auburndale, and West Newton Hill where mature sugar maples and oaks throw heavy afternoon shade across half the lawn. Bluegrass contributes the rich color expected on a Newton front lawn; tall fescue adds the deep roots and traffic 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.

Your sod is cut fresh and delivered to Newton. 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.
We deliver to every Newton village — Newton Centre, Chestnut Hill, Auburndale, Waban, West Newton Hill, Newton Highlands, Newtonville, Newton Corner, Newton Upper Falls, Newton Lower Falls, Nonantum, Oak Hill, and Thompsonville.
Newton’s thirteen villages mean the street conditions change block by block — what is wide open on a West Newton Hill side street gets noticeably tighter around the older in-village blocks where mature trees and parked cars do the narrowing. The all-terrain machine handles that variability and sets each pallet where your crew is working rather than where the truck can stop.
The tighter older in-village blocks and the parked-car narrowing are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your block runs tight or your driveway shares a private right-of-way, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can plan the drop.
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.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Newton.
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.
Newton landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Chestnut Hill estate renovation or a tight West Newton Hill front-yard install where the entire sidewalk is watching the work.
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.

Newton contractors work 13 villages on one zoning map — Chestnut Hill running long drives near The Country Club, Newton Centre with tighter Victorian blocks, Waban backing onto Hammond Pond conservation land, and West Newton Hill carrying some of the highest landscape-budget inventory inside Route 128. The standard varies by village, but fresh sod is the floor on all 13.
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.
Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“We recently finished a complete backyard remodel with pool & wanted to add sod. CT Sod was excellent to work with & we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! They are professional and prompt & they deliver a high quality product.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Excellent service, great product. Delivery was delayed 1 day because of weather. I was contacted immediately of the change, and given multiple delivery times for my convenience. Great company fair prices, and excellent communication.”
“Shawn at CT Sod was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and kept the cost within my budget. Great service and easy to work with — highly recommend!”
“We used CT sod it was an excellent experience very high-quality grass with fair pricing and excellent communication highly recommend them to anyone looking for sod any questions I had when installing it they walked me through it will be using them from now on any sod job I get.”
