Sod Pallet Delivery | $699 Single Pallet, 8 States

What You Get with a Sod Pallet Delivery

A sod pallet is the standard unit of fresh-cut sod — roughly 500 square feet of grass per pallet, made up of about 50 rolls measuring 2 feet by 5 feet each. One pallet covers a small front yard or a starter back-lawn project. A typical suburban lawn needs 9 to 10 pallets; a large lot or estate often runs 17 to 20 pallets or more.

We deliver sod pallets across the Northeast — cut to order for your delivery window, transported directly from the farm to your property, and placed where you’re working with all-terrain forklifts. No middlemen, no inventory sitting on a lot, no compromises on freshness. The difference between a lawn that establishes beautifully and one that struggles for years often comes down to a single variable: how fresh the sod was when it touched your soil.

Sod Pallet Pricing — What a Pallet of Sod Costs Delivered

All-in delivered pricing, no separate freight quote, no callbacks. The number you see is the number we quote on the phone. Final invoice includes the sod, the pallet charge, delivery, and applicable state sales tax.

1 pallet (500 sq ft): $699 delivered
600–1,100 sq ft: $0.90 / sq ft
1,200–2,000 sq ft: $0.75 / sq ft
2,100–3,900 sq ft: $0.70 / sq ft
4,000+ sq ft: $0.66 / sq ft (volume floor)

Delivery fee: $99 per order · Pallet charge: $20 per pallet · Small-order fee: $50 on small orders 500–900 sq ft · Variety upgrade: +$0.10/sq ft for Tall Fescue.

Long Island & Hamptons: +$0.30/sq ft across every variety, 1,200 sq ft minimum. Use the Long Island sod pallet calculator for an all-in East End price.

Sod Pallet Specs — Size, Weight, and Coverage

Standard coverage: 500 sq ft per pallet (~50 rolls @ 2′ × 5′ each)
Larger pallet option: up to 600 sq ft, subject to availability and variety
Pallet weight: 750–2,000 lbs depending on grass type, soil thickness, and moisture
Pallet footprint: standard 48″ × 40″ wood pallet base
Forklift access needed: firm, level staging area roughly 6′ × 6′ per pallet, accessible from the truck path

For homeowners planning where the pallets will land: the ideal staging spot is flat, firm, shaded if possible, and close to where you’ll be laying. Driveways, patios, and compacted gravel work well. Grass works but protect it with plywood if you’re staging heavy pallets for more than a few hours. Heavier pallets require firm, accessible staging areas — our forklifts handle placement, but the pallet still needs solid ground to sit on.

Sod Varieties Available on Every Pallet

We palletize three cool-season sod varieties, each suited to different property conditions and homeowner priorities. The same pricing structure applies across varieties (with the +$0.10/sq ft upgrade on Tall Fescue noted above).

Kentucky Bluegrass. The classic Northeast lawn — dense, dark green, with self-repairing rhizomatous growth that thickens over years. Best for properties with full sun, consistent irrigation, and owners who want that iconic carpet-like appearance. Background on the variety: Kentucky Bluegrass origin and history.

Tall Fescue (Black Beauty). Deeper-rooting, more drought-tolerant, and more forgiving of inconsistent watering. Better for properties with partial shade, no irrigation system, or homeowners who want a lower-maintenance lawn that survives summer stress. Full breakdown: Tall Fescue vs. Kentucky Bluegrass comparison.

Bluegrass-Fescue Blend. Tall Fescue’s deep roots and drought tolerance combined with a small percentage of Kentucky Bluegrass for self-repair via rhizomes. Our most popular variety for homeowners who want durability and appearance without compromising either.

How Sod Pallet Delivery Works

1. Place your order. Call (203) 806-4086 or request a quote online with your address, square footage, and variety preference. We’ll confirm availability and lock pricing.

2. Scheduling. Most pallet deliveries are scheduled 2–7 days from order placement. In peak season (late April–June, September–October), book 1–2 weeks ahead. Off-season, we usually accommodate within days. You get a specific time window the day before delivery.

3. Site preparation (by you, before we arrive). Have your soil prepared and ready for immediate installation. Sod goes on the ground the same day it’s delivered — the deterioration clock starts the moment it leaves the farm. The sod installation guide covers the full prep checklist.

4. Delivery and forklift placement. Our truck arrives in the scheduled window. The driver uses an all-terrain forklift to place pallets at your specified staging location. Offload typically takes 15–30 minutes depending on pallet count and site access. No curb dumps, no hand-bombing pallets across your yard.

5. Installation (your call). DIY and install the same day, or arrange for our professional installation crews. See the sod installation guide for the full DIY process and professional service tiers.

Installation Services (If You Don’t Want to Lay It Yourself)

Prefer not to handle the installation yourself? Our crews handle projects of all sizes — from small residential front yards to multi-acre commercial properties and golf course installs. Three service tiers:

Sod pallet delivery only (this page) — pallets delivered, you install.
Delivery + site preparation — we handle old lawn removal, grading, and topsoil; you install.
Full-service installation — we handle everything from prep to finished lawn.

See the sod installation guide for the DIY-vs-hire breakdown and request a quote on any of the three service levels.

Getting the Best Results from Your Pallet Delivery

The first 24 hours after delivery determine whether your new lawn thrives or struggles. A few honest tips that dramatically improve outcomes whether you DIY or hire installation:

Install the same day. Sod on a pallet is a plant in severe stress. Core pallet temperatures climb fast in summer heat, and tissue damage begins within 24 hours. Waiting until “tomorrow” is the single most common DIY mistake.

Water as you lay, not after you finish. Each section should be watered within 30 minutes of being laid. Don’t wait until the whole lawn is complete — early sections dehydrate while late ones are still being installed.

Prepare soil before the pallet arrives. Finished grading, pH correction, and topsoil amendments should all be done before delivery day. The sod installation guide covers the full prep checklist.

Understand what’s happening underground. New sod isn’t just “placed” — it’s a plant community recovering from transplant shock, rebuilding roots, and forming microbial partnerships with the soil. Owners who get the best long-term results understand the biology: soil biology and new sod, the 12-month sod rooting timeline, and mycorrhizal fungi and new sod rooting.

Timing and Seasonal Scheduling

Sod pallet delivery runs year-round, but cool-season sod establishes best in spring and fall. Peak demand windows are late April through June and September through October — book 1–2 weeks ahead during those months. Mid-summer and winter installations are possible with appropriate watering protocols and dormancy expectations, and pallet availability is usually next-day in those windows.

Sod Pallet Delivery — Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a pallet of sod delivered?

A single pallet of sod is $699 delivered (covers ~500 square feet, roughly 50 rolls). Volume pricing drops to $0.90/sq ft at 600 sq ft, $0.75/sq ft at 1,200 sq ft, $0.70/sq ft at 2,100 sq ft, and $0.66/sq ft at 4,000+ sq ft. Long Island & Hamptons orders add a $0.30/sq ft surcharge with a 1,200 sq ft minimum.

How many square feet are on a pallet of sod?

A standard sod pallet covers 500 square feet — typically 50 rolls measuring 2 feet by 5 feet each. Some varieties or sizes deliver up to 600 sq ft per pallet depending on roll thickness and moisture content. A 500 sq ft pallet weighs between 750 and 2,000 lbs depending on grass type and soil saturation.

Where do you deliver sod pallets?

We deliver sod pallets across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine — eight states across the Northeast. Long Island and the Hamptons are covered under a separate pricing tier (+$0.30/sq ft, 1,200 sq ft minimum).

Can I pick up sod myself instead of getting a pallet delivered?

We deliver only — no pickup. Cut-to-order sod loses freshness rapidly once it leaves the farm, and our delivery logistics are designed to minimize the time between cut and installation. A pallet of sod on the bed of a pickup truck for 90 minutes in July sun is already a worse product than the same pallet placed by forklift at your installation site.

How should I prepare my lawn before a sod pallet arrives?

Finished grading, pH-corrected soil, old vegetation removed, topsoil amendments complete, and a staging area identified for the pallets. Everything should be done before delivery so sod can be installed immediately. See our complete installation guide for the step-by-step checklist.

What if I can't install the sod the same day it's delivered?

Install the same day whenever possible. If absolutely necessary, keep pallets in a shaded area, water the outer edges to maintain moisture, and install by the next morning at latest. A pallet that sits through a summer weekend will not be the same product it was at delivery.

What's the minimum sod order?

One pallet (500 sq ft) on the mainland. Long Island and the Hamptons have a 1,200 sq ft minimum. Smaller quantities aren't feasible due to harvest and delivery logistics — sod isn't bagged at a garden center, it's harvested fresh and palletized for your delivery window.

How long after delivery does the sod stay viable?

Same-day installation is ideal. Sod begins deteriorating within 24 hours in summer heat, up to 36 hours in cool weather. Beyond 48 hours in any condition, significant tissue damage is likely. Plan delivery for a day you can install immediately.

Do you also install the sod, or only deliver pallets?

Both. Three service tiers: delivery only, delivery plus site prep, or full-service installation. See the sod installation guide for the tier breakdown and request a quote for your project.

“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!”

Christopher Bjorklund

Alice Pepplow

“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”

Carolyn Joseph

“Amazing prices! The process was extremely stress-free from ordering online to delivery. Communication was fabulous with the company and the grass is amazing. We do not have an irrigation system and maintained the grass by simply hosing twice a day for 15 minutes. I highly recommend this company.”
