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.

Proof of Work
Recent job — Westport, CT
Westport, CT
This job is from Westport, CT. CT Sod serves Avon with the same sod-specialist crews.
An order mix-up left 8,000 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass mix with no home, so a Westport homeowner got full prep and installation compressed into a single Friday — buried rock and fill hauled off, screened topsoil in, and sod down by dark. The last small strip finishes with a fresh cutting the next week.

Local Installation Planning
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.

“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.”
“Sean was great to work with. We set my sod install up in just a matter of days and his guys are fast and efficient and explain to me how to take care of My new sod. I would definitely recommend.”
“If you are looking for sod in the New England area this is the place to go. My son and his family recently moved to Claremont NH and needed sod. Due to his busy schedule and being new to the area and not being able to find a local installer I planned a trip from NC to install it for him. The ordering process was easy and I believe Kayla was helpful on the phone explaining different grass options and what would work best for the area. She scheduled the sod delivery about a month out for me which allowed me to time plan my short weekend trip. On delivery day things did not go as planned due to situations beyond CT Sod’s control. I was updated by Sean throughout the day regarding the issues and his plans to make it happen. Unfortunately it did not. Sean promised to make it right and realized I had a made a special trip up for the install. I did not get to install sod that weekend but Sean and CT Sod went above and beyond to make the issue right. Sod was delivered and installed a few days after I arrived home and the quality and customer service was above and beyond. The sod looked so good people who were driving by have been inquiring to my son about where it was from and commenting how great it looks. Shout out to CT Sod for making a bad situation into a great one. As a general contractor in NC I wish we had vendors like these folks who do the right thing without being asked!!!”
“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.”
“CT sod was awesome to deal with. I was surprised how quickly I was able to schedule delivery after purchasing. They are very responsive on the phone.”
“CTSOD provided fresh-cut sod and outstanding service — our lawn looks fantastic due to their top-quality products and expert guidance.”
