Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Northeast Harbor property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Northeast Harbor is the most refined estate village on Mount Desert Island — the Northeast Harbor Village historic center, the Sargent Drive estate corridor along the harbor, the Asticou section, the Manchester Road residential blocks, and the Peabody Drive family corridor. The soil sits on thin sandy soil over glacial-till and ledge across most of the village with sandy-loam pockets along the immediate harbor shoreline, and salt-air carries off the open water on the seaward winds, so the right sod variety is the difference between a lawn that handles a coastal August and one that browns out. None of that does a tired pallet any favors, and the crossing only raises the stakes. 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 Northeast Harbor load is harvested the morning of delivery or the evening before and timed to the crossing, reaching the island cool and still rooted — ready to lay on a Sargent Drive harbor-facing lot or a Manchester Road block 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.

Northeast Harbor is one of 3 Downeast towns on our Downeast sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Maine sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Northeast Harbor property for you or your landscaper to install. Have your prep, grading, and topsoil ready on delivery day so the sod can go right 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 — several feet down for serious drought and salt tolerance. The right choice for Northeast Harbor Village, Sargent Drive, and any south-facing salt-air shoreline lot.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Northeast Harbor yards — especially the older blocks through Northeast Harbor Village and Asticou where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass for the rich color; tall fescue for the deep roots and resilience.
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 Northeast Harbor.
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.
Northeast Harbor landscape crews order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Northeast Harbor Village or Sargent Drive install where the homeowner is watching.
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 Maine, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
We deliver to every Northeast Harbor neighborhood — Northeast Harbor Village, Sargent Drive, Asticou, Manchester Road, Peabody Drive, and the residential properties out toward the surrounding town lines.
Northeast Harbor deliveries are coordinated through ferry freight to the island — the pallets ride the crossing and our team works with you on the receiving end to time the offload. Once the pallets are across, the all-terrain machine sets each one where your crew is working rather than at the landing, across the thin sandy lots and the sandy-loam shoreline edges.
The crossing and the on-island offload are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. Call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can schedule the crossing and the on-island offload.
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.
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 Northeast Harbor. 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.
Northeast Harbor contractors work a downeast market where Northeast Harbor Village and Sargent Drive set one aesthetic standard and the Manchester Road and Peabody Drive sections set another. Fresh sod is what carries a finished install across both registers.
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.
“Placing an order online was easy, they answered a follow up email quickly and texted the day before our schedule delivery date to give me a window for the delivery. The delivery was made on time, and so far the sod is looking good.”
“Seamless transaction. Grass was actually delivered as exactly stated. Not one complaint I would highly recommend.”
“Amazing customer service and outstanding product. Best sod I have seen in 10 years of garden design & landscaping.”
“CT Sod’s website was very helpful for pricing and installation advice. Purchase was easy. The sod was very healthy when it arrived, my son and I installed, and it looks great.”
“Excellent price and high quality work. All the workers were clean and respectful. The whole process took a few weeks from order to installation however it is well worth the wait. They also sodded extra areas and did some mulch at no charge.”
“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!”
