How much does 1,000 square feet of sod cost delivered?

1,000 Square Feet of farm-cut sod (2 pallets) is $1,104.98 delivered in Connecticut for Kentucky Bluegrass — that is the sod ($900.00 at $0.90/sq ft) plus $99 delivery, $40.00 pallet handling, and 6.35% CT sales tax ($65.98). Tall Fescue is $1,211.33 and RTF is $1,530.38 for the same quantity.

What is the price difference between Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and RTF for 1,000 square feet?

For 1,000 square feet, Kentucky Bluegrass is $1,104.98, Tall Fescue is $1,211.33 (about $106.35 more), and RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue) is $1,530.38 (about $425.40 more). Tall Fescue adds roughly $0.10 per square foot over KB across every tier; RTF adds roughly $0.40 per square foot — the rhizomatous varieties are a smaller share of the farm's acreage and the most labor-intensive cut.

How many pallets is 1,000 square feet of sod?

1,000 Square Feet ships as 2 pallets. One pallet holds 600 sq ft of fresh-cut sod. The 500 sq ft minimum is the smallest order a farm cuts and palletizes — below that, the truck, driver, fuel, and farm handling cost the same as a full pallet.

Does the $1,104.98 price include delivery and sales tax?

Yes. $1,104.98 is the all-in delivered price in Connecticut for Kentucky Bluegrass, with $99 delivery, $40.00 pallet handling and 6.35% CT sales tax all included. The number you see is what the invoice says. Installation, soil prep, grading, rush scheduling, and special-equipment delivery (steep grade, ferry, restricted access) are quoted separately because they are crew- and site-dependent.

Where do you deliver 1,000 square feet of sod?

We deliver across the entire Northeast: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, New York (including Long Island and the Hamptons), and New Jersey. Long Island carries a $0.30/sq ft surcharge across every variety and a 1,200 sq ft minimum because of the ferry/bridge logistics. New Jersey deliveries go through our partner farms with their own delivery model.

What is the turnaround for a 1,000 square feet sod order?

Standard turnaround is 2–7 days from order to delivery. Sod is cut fresh from the farm for each order — we do not stock palletized inventory because sod has a 24–48 hour shelf life off the soil. If you have a deadline (closing date, party, contractor schedule), call ahead and we will confirm the delivery window before you commit.

Yanir Pesok

“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

“Amazing customer service and outstanding product. Best sod I have seen in 10 years of garden design & landscaping.”

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.”

Preston Huckabee
