Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Bethlehem — the open farm country south of Litchfield, the wooded hillside lots, and the long drives off Route 61 and Route 132. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Bethlehem is farm country at heart — a small Litchfield Hills town of open hayfields, working farms, and hillside homes strung along Route 61 and Route 132 south of Litchfield. The lots tend to run large, with a lot of open sun where old pasture has been kept mown and pockets of heavy shade where the sugar maples and stone walls line the road. The soil is the classic Litchfield mix: glacial till with ledge close to the surface on the ridges and better river-worked loam down in the low ground. Sitting up at elevation, Bethlehem greens up later in the spring and cools off earlier in the fall than the shoreline does, so a new lawn here rewards a little timing sense.
CT Sod runs install crews across the Litchfield Hills, and Bethlehem is well within that range. Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never held on a stockpile, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift — out across an open farm-lot lawn or up a hillside grade, not left at the roadside. The crews that lay it are sod specialists, not a general landscaping outfit, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. For the wide-open, full-sun farm lots we lead with tall fescue or RTF, which sends roots deep enough to carry a lawn through a dry summer on thin till; the shaded lots along the stone-wall roads do better on a bluegrass-fescue blend. You can book install-only when your prep is handled, or full-service to fold prep and install into one scope.
Here is how install day runs in Bethlehem. Once the date is set, your sod is harvested fresh that morning and loaded for the drive up into the hills. When the truck arrives, the all-terrain forklift does the heavy carrying — moving pallets out across a big open lawn or up a hillside yard where a wheelbarrow would bog down, so nothing gets dragged over finished grade or a wall. On full-service jobs the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only your prep is already done. From there a sod-only crew rolls the turf out, cuts it in tight to beds, walks, and drives, and rolls the seams the same day it left the field. Before we leave you get a watering handoff tuned to Bethlehem's open, fast-drying farm lots, 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 knits in faster and handles transplant stress better, which matters on Bethlehem's open farm lots where the thin till over ledge dries quickly and a tired pallet loses moisture before it ever gets a chance to root.
Bethlehem's large farm-country lawns and hillside grades are more ground than a wheelbarrow can cover. Our forklift carries pallets out across the open lot or up the slope to exactly where the crew is laying, so the sod moves fast and nothing gets dragged over finished grade, a garden bed, or a roadside stone wall.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod under one scope and one point of contact from quote to finish. Prefer to keep prep in your own hands? Install-only has you or your landscaper ready the ground and our crew arrives with the farm-cut sod to lay it tight over it.
Tall fescue or RTF for Bethlehem's wide, sunny farm lots where a lawn has to earn its keep through a dry summer on thin till; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded stretches along the stone-wall roads under mature canopy. We match the variety to your light and soil rather than laying the same mix everywhere.
Every Bethlehem install is scoped to the property — square footage, how far the lot runs, slope, prep needs, and access off Route 61 or Route 132. You get a written quote laying out the work and inclusions before any crew is scheduled, so the plan for install day is clear before we roll a truck.
We install sod for a living — not as a sideline to mowing and mulch. That is 30 years of sod industry experience behind every Bethlehem install, the same farm-cut product and the same crew standard whether it is a modest hillside yard or a sweeping open farm lawn.

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.

“Shawn at CT Sod was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and kept the cost within my budget. Great service and easy to work with — highly recommend!”
“I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!”
“Placing an order online was easy, they answered a follow up email quickly and texted the day before our schedule delivery date to give me a window for the delivery. The delivery was made on time, and so far the sod is looking good.”
“I had a great experience with CT Sod. They helped me to figure out what was the best product for my specific needs, were fairly priced, and delivered and installed absolutely beautiful grass!! It completely transformed my home! Thank you Kayla and Sean!!”
