Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Sterling property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Sterling sits along the Rhode Island line at the southeastern edge of Windham County — the historic Sterling Center along Route 14, the Oneco village, the Sterling Hill area, the Pachaug State Forest corridor, and the multi-acre wooded estate properties throughout. The town is one of the most rural in Connecticut, with a significant portion of its land in state forest, and the soils sit on glacial-till loam in the valleys and rockier upland soil on the hill grades. 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 Sterling 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 Sterling Center lot or a Pachaug-corridor estate property 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.

Sterling is one of 15 Windham County towns on our Windham 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 Sterling 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 drought tolerance and resilience against the heavy deer pressure that defines forest-edge Sterling properties. The right choice for the open lots through the estate corridors where irrigation isn't always practical.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Sterling yards — especially the wooded back-road estate properties where mature canopy throws heavy afternoon shade. Bluegrass contributes the rich color; tall fescue adds the deep roots that hold up against deer pressure.
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 Sterling.
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.
Sterling landscape crews order from us because the deep-back-road geography along the Rhode Island line demands a delivery partner that can actually get the pallets to the property.
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 the Quiet Corner, 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 Sterling neighborhood — Sterling Center, Oneco, Sterling Hill, the Pachaug State Forest corridor, and the estate properties out toward the Plainfield, Killingly, Voluntown, and Rhode Island lines.
A Sterling delivery runs deep into the woods — driveways run long, grades get steep enough that a standard truck calls it quits before it is anywhere near the work, and the Pachaug State Forest corridor adds its own long stone-wall lines. The all-terrain machine handles that ground and sets each pallet down where your crew is installing rather than at the edge of the road.
The long wooded driveways and the steep grades 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 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.
Sterling contractors work a southeastern-Quiet-Corner town defined by Pachaug State Forest, where the historic Center, the Oneco village, and the multi-acre back-road estates each set their own register. Fresh sod is what carries a finished install across all of them.
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.
