Farm-fresh Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Bluegrass-Fescue blend sod — cut to order and delivered directly to your Tisbury property. One pallet delivered is $699, with volume pricing that drops as your project grows.
Tisbury, commonly called Vineyard Haven, sits on the north shore of Martha’s Vineyard between Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury, and Vineyard Sound as the year-round commercial and ferry-terminal center of the island — downtown along Main Street, the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority Ferry Terminal, the Lake Tashmoo area, and the West Chop estate blocks on the northern peninsula. The soils run from sandy outwash across most of the family blocks, to barrier-beach sand along the harbor, to glacial-till loam on the higher Lake Tashmoo 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 Tisbury 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 West Chop estate lot or a Lake Tashmoo front 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.
Tisbury (commonly called Vineyard Haven) sits on the north shore of Martha’s Vineyard between Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury, and Vineyard Sound as the year-round commercial and ferry-terminal center of the island — downtown along Main Street, the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority Ferry Terminal (the year-round ferry hub for the island), the Lake Tashmoo area, and the West Chop estate blocks on the northern peninsula (the West Chop Club is one of the oldest summer associations on the Vineyard). Soils run from sandy outwash across most of the family blocks, to barrier-beach sand along the harbor, to glacial till loam on the higher Lake Tashmoo grades. The West Chop estate corridor is the high-AOV pocket — lot sizes are estate-scale and Vineyard-broker renovation-comp pressure runs steady.
Tisbury is one of 5 Dukes County towns on our Dukes County sod delivery hub, and part of our broader Massachusetts sod delivery coverage across the Northeast.
This page covers sod delivery — pallets dropped at your Tisbury 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 — the right pick for the West Chop and Lake Tashmoo estate front lawns where sandy outwash and salt exposure defeat shallower-rooted blends, and for the outer family yards that carry kids, dogs, and weekend foot traffic.
A balanced blend that performs in the mixed sun-and-shade conditions of most Tisbury yards — downtown and the West Chop estate corridor with mature oaks throwing afternoon shade, and the outer family blocks with mixed sun. Bluegrass contributes the rich color a West Chop estate front lawn expects; tall fescue adds the deep roots and salt-exposure tolerance the Vineyard geology demands.
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.
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 Tisbury neighborhood — downtown along Main Street, the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority Ferry Terminal area, the Lake Tashmoo area, and the West Chop estate blocks on the northern peninsula.
A Tisbury delivery turns on the ferry — getting sod to the island means booking a Steamship Authority freight crossing well in advance, since reservations for truck-and-trailer rigs fill up fast and summer scheduling has to be locked in early. Once we are on-island, the all-terrain machine handles placement wherever the install is happening, whether that is a West Chop estate drive or a tighter downtown lot.
The Steamship Authority crossing is the thing to plan for, which we sort out before the truck rolls. Call (203) 806-4086 before ordering so we can get the crossing secured around your project timeline.
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Tisbury.
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.
Tisbury landscapers order from us because the product is consistent and the delivery window is predictable — no dried-out sod showing up on a West Chop install or a Lake Tashmoo front lawn the broker tour will see within the week. Vineyard clients judge sod installs against the established West Chop Club neighbor — the standard is exacting.
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.

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.
Tisbury contractors work a Martha’s Vineyard estate market where West Chop and Lake Tashmoo clients judge a sod install against the established island estate neighbor through one of the tightest broker networks in Massachusetts. Fresh sod that knits in clean within two weeks is what holds the referral pipeline.
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

“I recently ordered sod from CT Sod and had a great experience overall. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and the delivery arrived promptly the following Monday, right on time. The quality of the sod appears to be excellent — it’s been two weeks since installation, and it’s looking lush and healthy. I appreciate the timely delivery and the high quality of the product. I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.”
“Sean and his team were friendly, professional, eager to please, and an overall joy to work with. By far the best deal in town without sacrificing quality; They did a beautiful job! I will be using them again for our front yard in the spring. 10/10 would recommend!”
“These guys are the real deal. Great price for great quality and most of all great service. Definitely recommend them.”
“I could not be happier with my experience buying sod. CT Sod answered all the questions I had and was able to deliver my sod as soon as I needed it. I would definitely use them again. My lawn looks amazing!”
“Excellent service, the grass arrived beautifully at my house. I made the purchase by phone and from Connecticut to Massachusetts I only paid $75 for the delivery of 1,200 square feet.”
“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.”
