Benefits Of SOd

  • Sod helps reduce soil erosion by providing a strong layer of grass that holds the soil in place and prevents water runoff. This helps to maintain healthy soil nutrient levels and protect nearby vegetation from harm.
     
  • Sod can help reduce air pollution levels by trapping dust particles and other pollutants in the area. This is because the dense root system of sod traps these particles in its intricate network, preventing them from entering into the atmosphere.
     
  • Sod helps regulate temperature by keeping surfaces cooler during hot summer days and warmer during cold winter days than if they were left bare. This can be beneficial for both humans and plants alike as it creates an ideal environment for growth.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Product was delivered on-time and as fresh as it gets. We installed sod about 2 years ago. With regular watering and fertilizing it looks very good. Highly recommend this company! No need for many words just look at before and after pictures.

Which Sod Variety Is Right For You?

Kentucky Bluegrass vs. Tall Fescue: Which Sod Is Best for Your New England Lawn?


When it comes to choosing the right sod for your lawn, two contenders stand above the rest: Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue. Both are cool-season grasses well-suited to our regions cold winters and warm summers, but they have distinct traits that make each better suited for different conditions and lifestyles.


Below, we’ll break down how they compare across appearance, durability, maintenance, water needs, and more—so you can confidently decide which grass belongs in your yard.


Climate Suitability in New England


Our climate is defined by frigid winters, wet springs, and warm, often humid summers.

  • Kentucky Bluegrass (KBG): This grass thrives in cold weather and has excellent winter hardiness. It greens up beautifully in spring and fall but can struggle in the peak of summer. Without regular watering, it may go dormant and brown out during hot, dry stretches.
     
  • Tall Fescue: With its deeper roots, tall fescue is better equipped to handle summer heat and occasional droughts. While it also prefers cool seasons, it’s generally more resilient than bluegrass when water is scarce.
     

Verdict: Both grasses handle winter well, but tall fescue has the edge during hot and dry spells.


Appearance: Color, Texture, and Density

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Known for its soft, fine blades and slightly bluish-green tint, KBG creates the classic “carpet lawn” look. It’s dense, uniform, and velvety underfoot—what many people picture when they imagine the perfect lawn.
     
  • Tall Fescue: The blades are wider and coarser, giving the lawn a sturdier texture. Its color is a rich, deep green. From a distance, a tall fescue yard looks lush, but up close it doesn’t have quite the same refined feel as bluegrass.
     

Verdict: If appearance is your top priority, Kentucky bluegrass wins for its fine texture and uniformity.


Growth Habits and Establishment

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Spreads through underground rhizomes, which means it can self-repair and gradually fill in thin spots. However, it’s slow to establish when seeded. As sod, it takes 2–3 weeks to root in with proper watering.
     
  • Tall Fescue: Grows in clumps (a “bunch-type” grass) rather than spreading. That makes it quick to germinate from seed but less able to self-repair once established. Sod still installs easily but won’t creep to fill bare spots over time.
     

Verdict: Bluegrass wins for self-repair, while tall fescue establishes more quickly from seed.


Durability and Traffic Tolerance

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Softer and more vulnerable to damage from kids, pets, and heavy use. However, it can recover over time thanks to its spreading growth habit.
     
  • Tall Fescue: Naturally tougher, with coarser blades that resist wear and tear. It won’t heal itself if patches die off, but it tolerates regular foot traffic better up front.
     

Verdict: For high-traffic lawns, tall fescue is more durable, though bluegrass will heal itself if given a chance.


Shade Tolerance

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Performs best in full sun and tends to thin out in shaded areas.
     
  • Tall Fescue: Handles partial shade much better and will hold its density under trees or on north-facing lawns.
     

Verdict: Tall fescue is the clear winner for shaded yards.


Water Requirements

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Requires frequent watering to stay green, especially in summer. Without irrigation, it often goes dormant during droughts.
     
  • Tall Fescue: Much more drought-tolerant thanks to its deep roots. It typically requires less supplemental watering.
     

Verdict: Tall fescue is more water-efficient and better for homeowners who don’t want to rely heavily on sprinklers.


Disease and Pest Resistance

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Prone to fungal diseases such as summer patch, dollar spot, and powdery mildew in hot, humid weather. Also vulnerable to grubs because of its shallower roots.
     
  • Tall Fescue: Generally more disease-resistant, though it can suffer from brown patch in midsummer. Endophyte-enhanced varieties are naturally resistant to certain insect pests.
     

Verdict: Tall fescue is lower-maintenance when it comes to pests and diseases.


Maintenance Needs

  • Mowing: Bluegrass looks best at 2.5–3 inches and requires frequent mowing to maintain its manicured look. Tall fescue prefers to be kept taller, around 3–4 inches, and may look shaggy if neglected.
     
  • Fertilization: Kentucky bluegrass is nitrogen-hungry and requires 3–4 fertilizer applications a year. Tall fescue needs less—usually 2 applications annually.
     
  • Overseeding: Bluegrass self-repairs, so overseeding is rarely necessary. Tall fescue does not spread, so annual overseeding is recommended to maintain density.
     

Verdict: Tall fescue requires less fertilization and water, but you’ll need to overseed more often. Bluegrass is higher-maintenance overall but repairs itself naturally.


Cost Considerations


Upfront, sod prices for Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue are generally similar in the Northeast. The real difference comes in long-term maintenance:

  • Bluegrass may cost more over time due to higher fertilizer, water, and potential fungicide needs.
     
  • Tall fescue is cheaper to maintain but may require annual overseeding.
     

Final Recommendation

  • Choose Kentucky Bluegrass if you want the most beautiful, soft, uniform lawn and are willing to put in extra effort with watering, fertilizing, and maintenance. It’s perfect for sunny lawns where appearance is top priority.
     
  • Choose Tall Fescue if you want a tough, reliable, and lower-maintenance lawn. It’s better for shady yards, families with kids or pets, and homeowners who don’t want to spend as much time or money on upkeep.
     

Both grasses can thrive in all of New England. The “best” one for you depends on whether you value beauty above all (bluegrass) or practical resilience and ease (fescue). Want the best of both worlds? Our most popular sod blend is a mix of both. When ordering just say you'd like the mix!

Sod Care

Before You Order Sod

Sod is a living product, and to fully enjoy its benefits, it needs proper care from the moment it arrives. Each order is freshly cut and palletized, so it’s crucial to lay it the same day for the best results.


Preparing for Your Sod Delivery


To ensure a smooth installation:

  • Complete all prep work beforehand – The area should be tilled or have fresh topsoil spread.
  • Schedule help in advance – If you're hiring labor, book them before placing your order.
  • Consider multiple deliveries for large areas – This prevents sod from sitting too long on pallets.


While sod can survive on a pallet for more than a day, it’s not ideal. If you can’t install it immediately, keep it moist, out of direct sunlight, and covered with a tarp.


Installing and Watering Your Sod


Once laid, sod should be watered immediately to encourage root growth. On hot days, soak the sod as you go—don’t wait until the entire area is installed to begin watering. This is especially critical in summer months when high temperatures can quickly dry out the sod. Spring is the best time to install sod, thanks to cooler temperatures and frequent rainfall.


Ordering & Delivery


Sod deliveries require planning. We recommend placing your order at least a week in advance to ensure availability. While we often deliver sooner, it’s not guaranteed. Unlike mulch or other landscaping materials, sod is a perishable product that requires careful scheduling and preparation.


Why Choose CT Sod?


CT Sod is a leading supplier of premium-quality sod, serving both residential and commercial customers. We provide fresh sod at competitive prices with reliable, timely delivery. Whether you're tackling a home improvement project or a large-scale landscaping job, we’re here to help.
