Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Avon and the Farmington Valley — the open river-valley lawns along the flats, the wooded streets rising toward the Talcott Mountain ridge, and the mature-canopy lots in between.
(203) 806-4086
Avon sits in the heart of the Farmington Valley, where the flat river-terrace ground along the Farmington River gives way to wooded slopes climbing the trap-rock spine of Talcott Mountain to the east. That range shows up in the lawns. Out on the valley floor you get generous, open lots on deep river-valley loam that grows grass well when it is prepped right; up toward the ridge the ground turns shallower over ledge, the grades steepen, and mature hardwoods throw heavy afternoon shade across the yard. Avon's housing runs from postwar ranches to newer large-lot colonials, and a lot of those bigger properties carry long frontages, stone walls, and planting beds that a sod crew has to work around cleanly.
CT Sod runs install crews across Hartford County and the Farmington Valley, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Your pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, delivered the same day, and set exactly where the crew is laying by all-terrain forklift — up a sloped Avon driveway or across a wide valley-floor lawn, not stranded at the curb. The crews here lay sod nearly every day, so seams and edges stay tight. You can go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want CT Sod to strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the sod in one scope.
Here is what install day looks like in Avon. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh that morning and loaded for the run up into the Valley. On a full-service job the crew strips the old lawn, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only your prep is already done. The all-terrain forklift then carries pallets to the work — a real help on the ridge-side streets where a driveway pitches uphill or a lawn sits above the road behind a stone wall. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to walks and beds, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff so the first soak goes down and the lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation and never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and shrugs off transplant stress far better than a pallet that has been sitting, which matters on Avon's open valley-floor lots where a full-sun lawn has to establish before summer heat sets in.
The streets rising toward the Talcott ridge pitch uphill and plenty of Avon lawns sit above the road behind stone walls. Our forklift carries pallets right to where the crew is laying instead of leaving them at the curb, so nothing gets dragged up a slope or across a finished driveway on the way in.
For the open, sunny valley-floor lawns on deep river loam we lead with a tall fescue blend or RTF for deep drought-tolerant roots; on the shaded ridge-side lots under mature hardwoods a bluegrass-fescue blend holds color where straight bluegrass thins. We match the variety to your light and soil, not the other way around.
Choose full-service and we strip the old turf, grade, add clean topsoil, and lay the fresh sod in one scope with a single point of contact. Prefer to keep prep in-house? Install-only means you or your landscaper handle removal and grading and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to your edges.
Every Avon install is scoped per property — square footage, driveway pitch and ridge-side access, prep needs, and the shade or sun on the lawn. You get a written quote spelling out the work and inclusions before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises on install day.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who lay a little turf on the side. That focus shows in the fresh-cut product, the tight seams, and the way crews plan access on the valley-floor lots and the ridge streets across Avon and the wider Farmington Valley before the truck ever rolls.

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.

Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“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.”
“Very easy to work with. Responsive to my urgent needs (upcoming wedding reception at home). Competitive price. When their contracted scalper overscalped, CT Sod came in and filled with additional sod at no charge - no fuss at all. Came out great!”
“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!”
“We recently finished a complete backyard remodel with pool & wanted to add sod. CT Sod was excellent to work with & we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! They are professional and prompt & they deliver a high quality product.”
“Seamless transaction. Grass was actually delivered as exactly stated. Not one complaint I would highly recommend.”
“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.”
