Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Andover — the Route 6 and Route 316 corridors, the wooded lots off Lake Road, and the rural properties on glacial-till upland ground. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Andover is one of the smaller towns in southwestern Tolland County, and its lawns read like the edge of the Quiet Corner — wooded, rolling, and set well back from the road. Route 6 and Route 316 carry most of the traffic, but the properties themselves run to larger rural lots, horse paddocks, and homes reached by long gravel drives off two-lane roads. The ground is classic glacial till: loam over stony subsoil, with ledge close to the surface on the higher pitches and wet pockets down near Andover Lake and the Hop River lowlands. Mature oak and maple throw heavy shade over the older road-front yards, while the open upland lots bake in full sun. Deer move through freely out here, so what goes down has to establish fast and stand up to browsing pressure.
CT Sod runs install crews across Tolland County and the Quiet Corner, and Andover sits squarely in that footprint. Your pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, and they ride out to town the same day, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Because so many Andover homes sit on wells, we plan the install and the watering handoff around what your system can actually deliver — no assuming an unlimited municipal tap. On the shaded road-front yards we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open, dry upland lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots on thin, stony soil. Choose install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want us to take the whole scope.
Install day in Andover follows one clean sequence. Once your date is set, the sod is harvested fresh that morning and loaded for the run out Route 6. The hard part here is access — a lot of Andover homes sit at the end of a long gravel drive, past a stone wall or a paddock fence, so the all-terrain forklift carries pallets from wherever the truck can stage right up to where the crew is laying, instead of stranding them at the road. From there a crew that lays sod nearly every day sets tight seams and clean edges, working around wells, septic fields, and the mature canopy on the older lots. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff matched to your well so the new lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and rides out transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which counts double on Andover's stony upland lots where the topsoil layer runs thin and dries out quickly through a Quiet Corner summer.
Andover homes tend to sit well back from Route 6 and Route 316, reached by long gravel drives and set behind stone walls or paddock fencing. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets from wherever the truck can stage up to the yard where the crew is laying, so nobody hand-drags sod down a hundred feet of gravel or across a finished walk.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny upland lots where the lawn has to survive a dry summer on thin, stony soil and shrug off deer browsing; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded road-front yards under mature oak and maple; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun yard wants the richest color and can be kept watered.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod as one scope with a single point of contact from quote through finish. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep, and our crew shows up with farm-cut sod and lays it tight. Both options are available across Andover.
Every Andover install is scoped per property — square footage, drive access, well-fed watering, prep needs, and the shade or slope on your particular lot. You get a written quote spelling out the work and inclusions before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises on install day and nothing gets assumed.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who also dabble in turf. Delivery and installation is the whole business, and that focus shows in the fresh-cut product, the tight seams, and the way our crews handle the rural access and well-watering realities that come with a Tolland County property like the ones across Andover.

New Canaan, CT
Our first commercial job story: a schedule mixup left no installers on the day the sod arrived — and the property had a party that same afternoon. Our crew laid 4,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass in steady rain, at no extra charge, and the lawn was ready before the guests.
Fairfield, CT
The finish of our Fairfield pool-rebuild story: gravel and hardened concrete slurry out, screened topsoil and irrigation in, and 2,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass wrapping the new pool and stone patio.
Milford, CT
The finish of our Milford patio-damage story: dead machine routes stripped and regraded in the morning, 1,500 sq ft of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass laid the same afternoon — sprinklers running before the trailer left the curb.

“I’ve had sod deliveries from CT Sod to properties I have in both Greenwich and Milford. Each sod delivery has been high quality bluegrass sod, and both my neighbors and landscaper admired the quality. Kayla in the office even texts you the exact time it will come the night before. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service and product I received from CT Sod. You will not be disappointed with this sod company.”
“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!”
“CT Sod’s website was very helpful for pricing and installation advice. Purchase was easy. The sod was very healthy when it arrived, my son and I installed, and it looks great.”
“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.”
“I could not be happier with my experience buying sod. CT Sod answered all the questions I had and was able to deliver my sod as soon as I needed it. I would definitely use them again. My lawn looks amazing!”
“Amazing service and product. Kayla and the entire team at CTSOD were a pleasure to work with.”
