Ordering sod is easy. Getting the most out of it comes down to what happens on delivery day. Here is how our delivery works and how to plan around it, whether you live in Marietta, Sandy Springs or anywhere else we serve.
How our delivery works
- Cut to order. All sod is harvested and cut to order, so it reaches you fresh.
- Delivery only. We bring your pallets to you. There is no pickup.
- To the street. Pallets are not “spotted” (placed on your property). They are delivered to the street where public access meets your property.
- Three-pallet minimum. Our order minimum is three pallets.
- Major credit cards. All payments are by major credit card. We never ask for Cash App, Venmo or Zelle.
The full rules are on our delivery page and in the FAQs.
Count your pallets
Measure your lawn in square feet and divide by the pallet size listed for your grass (450 or 500 square feet, depending on the grass). The pallet planner does the math for you, and our team confirms the quantity before you order.
Get the yard ready first
Have the soil cleared, loosened and raked smooth before the pallets arrive, so you can start laying right away. Fresh sod is at its best on the day it is delivered.
Plan the move from street to yard
Because pallets are set down at the street, line up help and a wheelbarrow or garden cart before the truck comes. Start laying along a straight edge, such as a driveway or sidewalk, and stagger the seams like brickwork. Our How to lay sod page has the steps and a video.
Water as you go
Water each section soon after it is laid instead of waiting until the end. In summer heat, sod waiting on the pallet should be shaded and laid as quickly as possible.
