Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Old Westbury property. Nassau North Shore orders are priced per square foot ($0.30/sq ft adjustment, 1200 sq ft minimum) with volume pricing as your project grows.
Old Westbury is the anchor of the historic Long Island Gold Coast estate corridor in the Town of North Hempstead — the multi-acre parcels along Wheatley Road, the Old Westbury Gardens historic property and the Phipps-era estate blocks, the SUNY Old Westbury and New York Institute of Technology campuses on the former Whitney estate, and the wooded north-of-LIE single-family lots toward the Glen Head and Brookville lines. Two-acre and four-acre zoning covers most of the residential land, the soils run to the Nassau North Shore moraine of glacial-till loam over sandy subsoil with occasional rocky outwash, and century-old white oaks and tulip poplars carry deep shade across nearly every estate parcel. 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 Old Westbury 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 Wheatley Road estate frontage or a wooded north-of-LIE lot 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 village has long-standing two-acre and four-acre zoning across most of the residential land. Soils sit on the typical Nassau North Shore moraine — glacial-till loam over sandy subsoil with occasional rocky outwash, deep canopy from century-old white oaks and tulip poplars, and the landscape standard set by decades of estate stewardship.
Old Westbury is one of 6 Nassau County towns on our Nassau County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader New York sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Old Westbury 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 open full-sun multi-acre Old Westbury estate parcels where running daily irrigation across two or four acres of front lawn is impractical, and for the family yards that have to handle dogs, kids, and weekend foot traffic across the long approach setbacks.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Old Westbury yards — nearly every estate parcel sits under mature canopy from century-old white oaks and tulip poplars. Bluegrass contributes the rich color expected on a Wheatley Road or Old Westbury Gardens-adjacent 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.
Nassau North Shore pricing — $0.30/sq ft adjustment across all varieties, with a 1200 sq ft minimum order.
| Order Size | Pallets | Base Price | Nassau North Shore Adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,200–2,000 sq ft | 2–4 pallets | $.75 / sq ft | $1.05 / sq ft |
| 2,100–3,900 sq ft | 4–8 pallets | $.70 / sq ft | $1.00 / sq ft |
| 4,000+ sq ft | 8+ pallets | $.66 / sq ft | $.96 / sq ft |
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 Old Westbury.
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 — 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.
Old Westbury landscape crews order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a Wheatley Road estate front lawn or an Old Westbury Gardens-adjacent install where the property is on the historic-estate circuit.
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.
Nassau North Shore pricing is transparent — the $0.30/sq ft adjustment is built into every quote, no hidden fees on delivery day.
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 Long Island, watering, rooting, and seasonal timing. Order from people who actually understand turf in this climate.
We deliver to every Old Westbury neighborhood — the historic Wheatley Road estate corridor, the Old Westbury Gardens area, the SUNY / NYIT campus border, and the wooded multi-acre parcels toward the Brookville, Muttontown, and Roslyn lines.
An Old Westbury delivery is built around estate access — almost every parcel means a long private drive and a gated entry, and there is rarely a clean drop point anywhere near the road. The all-terrain machine carries each pallet past the gate and up the drive to where your crew is working rather than leaving it at the curb.
The code-entry gates and shared association entrances are the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. If your property has a code-entry gate or a shared association entrance, call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can coordinate the approach in advance.
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 Old Westbury. Our forklift places the pallets where you want them.
Install the sod the day it arrives for best results. Then water it in well.
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.
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.
Old Westbury contractors work the anchor of the historic Long Island Gold Coast — an institutional landscape standard set by decades of estate stewardship along Wheatley Road and the Old Westbury Gardens corridor. Formal carriage-drive front lawns frame the approach to the main house on most parcels, and the lawn reads against century-old white oak canopy. Fresh-cut sod is the only product that lands on a Wheatley Road estate without standing out against the established turf.
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.
