Fresh-Cut Sod Delivery in Tisbury, MA

Always Cut Fresh, Always Delivered Fast
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.
Sod Varieties We Deliver to Tisbury
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.
Kentucky Bluegrass Sod
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.
Turf-Type Tall Fescue Sod
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.
Bluegrass-Fescue Sod Mix
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.
RTF Sod (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)
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.
Tisbury Sod Delivery Pricing
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 |
What is included: The single-pallet prices are all-in pre-tax — $699 for 500 sq ft and $749 for 600 sq ft, each bundling the $99 delivery, the $20 pallet, and the $50 small-order fee. Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. For multi-pallet orders, sod is priced per square foot at the rates above, plus a flat $99 delivery fee and a $20-per-pallet charge (non-refundable). Tall Fescue adds $.10 per square foot to any order, including the single pallet. RTF sod is custom-priced — call for a quote. Our all-terrain forklifts place pallets where you need them on the property. Scheduling is typically 2–7 days from order to delivery. Call (203) 806-4086 for an exact quote on your Tisbury project.
How Much Sod Does Your Tisbury Project Need?
Measure the area you want to sod, then match it to the table above. One pallet covers 500–600 square feet.
Measuring Your Area
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.
Fresh-Cut Sod Is the Whole Point
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.

What to Expect From Tisbury Sod Delivery
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.
How We Handle Tisbury Delivery Logistics
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.
What Tisbury Customers Order Sod For
Every delivery is a little different, but these are the projects we see most often in Tisbury.
Full Lawn Replacement
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.
New Construction & Renovations
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.
Bare Spots & Winter Damage
Repairing dead patches, plow damage, or worn areas. A single pallet covers most repair jobs — see fixing bare spots with sod.
Around Pools & Patios
Clean, finished turf right up to hardscape edges. Sod establishes fast in these high-visibility areas — see Kentucky Bluegrass laid around a CT pool.
Landscaper & Contractor Supply
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.
Shaded & Difficult Yards
Mixed-light yards where seed struggles. The right sod variety establishes where seeding fails — see our guide to the best sod for shaded yards.
Why Order Sod From CT Sod in Tisbury
Anyone can drop a pallet in your driveway. Here is what makes our delivery worth ordering.
Cut Fresh, Delivered Fast
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.
Forklift Placement
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.
Honest, Delivered Pricing
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.
The Right Variety for Your Yard
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.
We Know Northeast Lawns

After Your Tisbury Sod Arrives
Sod is a living product. A little planning around delivery day makes all the difference in how well your new lawn establishes.
Lay It the Same Day
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.
Water Within the First Hour
New sod needs water fast and often in the early days. Follow the first 14-day watering guide closely.
Prep the Soil First
Sod roots into what is underneath it. Loose, graded topsoil makes a real difference — see the best topsoil for sod.
Know the Rooting Timeline
New sod knits down over the following weeks and months. Here is how new sod roots over 12 months.
Tisbury has its own wetlands buffer, watering schedule, and lawn rules; see the water restrictions and lawn rules for Tisbury.
Tisbury Landscapers & Contractors
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.

“If you are looking for sod in the New England area this is the place to go. My son and his family recently moved to Claremont NH and needed sod. Due to his busy schedule and being new to the area and not being able to find a local installer I planned a trip from NC to install it for him. The ordering process was easy and I believe Kayla was helpful on the phone explaining different grass options and what would work best for the area. She scheduled the sod delivery about a month out for me which allowed me to time plan my short weekend trip. On delivery day things did not go as planned due to situations beyond CT Sod’s control. I was updated by Sean throughout the day regarding the issues and his plans to make it happen. Unfortunately it did not. Sean promised to make it right and realized I had a made a special trip up for the install. I did not get to install sod that weekend but Sean and CT Sod went above and beyond to make the issue right. Sod was delivered and installed a few days after I arrived home and the quality and customer service was above and beyond. The sod looked so good people who were driving by have been inquiring to my son about where it was from and commenting how great it looks. Shout out to CT Sod for making a bad situation into a great one. As a general contractor in NC I wish we had vendors like these folks who do the right thing without being asked!!!”

How much sod is on a pallet?
A standard pallet holds 500 to 600 square feet of sod. Orders round up to the next full pallet — a 900-square-foot lawn means 2 pallets. See how much sod comes on a pallet.
How soon can you deliver sod to Tisbury?
Scheduling is typically 2 to 7 days from when you place your order. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons, so order as early as you can to get the date you want.
Which sod variety should I order?
Kentucky Bluegrass for an irrigated, classic ornamental lawn; Tall Fescue for full sun without irrigation and high traffic; the Bluegrass-Fescue blend for typical mixed sun-and-shade yards; and RTF for homes with dogs. Read Best sod for Massachusetts lawns, or call and describe your yard.
Where will the pallets be placed?
Our trucks carry all-terrain forklifts, so we place pallets where you need them on the property rather than leaving everything at the curb. Tell us your preferred drop spot when you order, and flag any access concerns — gates, narrow drives, soft ground — ahead of time.
Do I need to install the sod the same day it is delivered?
Yes — sod is a living product and should be laid the day it arrives. Have your soil prepped and a plan in place before delivery. See why sod needs to be laid immediately after delivery.
How do I prepare for my sod delivery?
Have the area cleared, graded, and topsoiled before delivery day so the sod can go straight down. See how to prep your yard for sod and the best topsoil for sod.
How do I order sod for delivery to Tisbury?
Call (203) 806-4086. We will confirm your variety, square footage, price, and a delivery date, then deliver fresh-cut sod to your Tisbury property.
Our West Chop estate lawn is sandy outwash with constant salt exposure. What sod holds up?
On the West Chop and Lake Tashmoo estate front lawns where sandy outwash and salt exposure defeat shallower-rooted blends, and on the outer family yards that carry kids, dogs, and weekend foot traffic, Tall Fescue is the call — its roots reach several feet down for the drought tolerance and salt-exposure resilience those Vineyard lots need.
Our West Chop lot sits under mature oak shade. What sod works?
On downtown and the West Chop estate corridor where mature oaks throw afternoon shade, and the outer family blocks with mixed sun, the bluegrass-fescue blend is the call — the bluegrass brings the rich color a West Chop estate front lawn expects and the tall fescue adds the deep roots and salt-exposure tolerance the Vineyard geology demands.
Our project is on-island and timing depends on the ferry. How does delivery work?
Because Tisbury is on Martha’s Vineyard, we book a Steamship Authority freight crossing around your project timeline, and once on-island the forklift carries each pallet off the truck and onto the property where your crew is working, whether that is a West Chop estate drive or a tighter downtown lot. Call early, especially in summer, so we can secure the crossing.
