“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.”

Sod in Essex County: The North Shore, Cape Ann & Merrimack Valley
Essex County runs from the rocky North Shore and Cape Ann coast — Salem, Beverly, Marblehead, Gloucester, and Manchester-by-the-Sea — inland to the Merrimack Valley cities of Lawrence, Andover, and Haverhill, the historic seaport of Newburyport, and the horse-country towns of Hamilton and Ipswich. It's a varied county (roughly USDA zone 6a) where the coast is salt-exposed on sandy or rocky ground and the inland half is established suburban and river-valley loam. Our balanced bluegrass-fescue blend is the versatile default inland, with deep-rooted, salt-tolerant fescue for the coastal lots.
We match the variety to each lot's salt exposure, sun, and soil, and lay it over a fresh topsoil base. New sod needs deep, consistent early watering. See our Massachusetts sod guide, and the Massachusetts sod delivery page for full coverage.

“Sean and his team were friendly, professional, eager to please, and an overall joy to work with. By far the best deal in town without sacrificing quality; They did a beautiful job! I will be using them again for our front yard in the spring. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I recently dealt with Sean and Kayla to set up a sod installation around a new pool - couldn’t be happier with the process, price, and results. Highly recommend CT Sod - you won’t be disappointed with this company. I snapped this while the guys were working. In 4 hours they almost had the whole 5,000 square feet of fresh Kentucky Bluegrass installed. Results speak for themselves.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. I reached out and they were able to not only give me accurate support in terms of measurements but told me exactly how to prep everything so I was completely ready for the delivery and installation. Pricing was competitive and good, and communication was even better. Greatly appreciative to the entire team who did an outstanding job.”
“I recently had my lawn done by CT SOD, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From the initial prep work to the final installation, everything was completed in just one day, and the results exceeded my expectations. The lawn looks absolutely beautiful, and it's clear the team takes pride in the quality of their work. They were professional, efficient, and left everything clean when they finished. If you're looking for a company that delivers excellent results and great service, I highly recommend CT SOD. Thank you for an outstanding job!”
“Best sod company around. We've used them on about 5 of our Hamptons properties and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Sean and his employees are thorough, neat, and stick to their schedule. Top quality. High recommend.”
