“I had an excellent experience with CT SO company from start to finish. They prepared the ground and installed new sod with great care and professionalism. The crew was punctual, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. What impressed me the most was how comfortable they made me feel throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain each step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew what to expect. Their communication was outstanding, and I always felt confident that my yard was in good hands. The finished lawn looks beautiful, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled lawn professionals. I'm very happy!!! Thank you for transforming my yard!”

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.

“We had a great experience with CT Sod. After our pool installation, our yard needed significant cleanup and restoration. Their team did an excellent job prepping the area with quality topsoil and installing the new sod. They were professional, friendly, and especially careful working around our brand-new pool and patio. Communication was easy throughout the process via text, and they took the time to recommend the right type of sod specifically for the conditions in our yard. The finished lawn exceeded our expectations and looks fantastic. They also provided great value—we were able to use the extra topsoil and sod to improve other areas of our property. Overall, very happy with the quality of the work and the entire experience with CT Sod.”
