Completed project in Chatham
Local project — Chatham, MA
This one is local — CT Sod ran full site preparation and installation for 6,000 square feet of bluegrass-fescue-rye blend at a $4 million Chatham estate, documented on the blog from graded sandy base to finished lawn. The final section went down fresh-cut on August 27, and the whole 6,000 square feet is watered in.

Chatham has its own wetlands buffer, watering schedule, and lawn rules; see the water restrictions and lawn rules for Chatham.
Local Installation Planning
Chatham sits at the elbow of Cape Cod, where the peninsula turns and the town faces open water on three sides. That exposure defines its lawns. The village center holds tidy, tightly spaced lots and grey-shingled cottages; the shoreline blocks around the harbor and North Chatham run to larger grounds that take the full brunt of the wind and salt off the Atlantic and the Sound; and the interior lots sit a little more sheltered among scrub oak and pine. The soil is the same sandy glacial outwash that runs the length of the Cape, but here it is paired with steady wind and salt air, so a Chatham lawn asks for a deep-rooted, salt-hardy grass and the topsoil depth to hold moisture that the sand and the breeze both work against.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Chatham and the rest of the Cape with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never stockpiled, and placed exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at the road. A crew whose only job is sod, not general landscaping, rolls it out, cuts it in tight to beds and walks, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you'd rather have the site work and the install carried as one scope.
Here is what install day looks like in Chatham. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh that morning and loaded for the run out the Cape. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works topsoil into the sandy base first — building the moisture-holding depth a wind-exposed lawn needs, since the breeze dries new sod out even faster than the sun. On install-only your landscaper has that done. The forklift then places pallets where the crew is laying rather than at the curb, a real help on the tight village lots and the soft shoreline ground. Seams and clean edges get set the same day, and before we leave you get a watering plan built for fast-draining, wind-exposed soil.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never pulled from a stockpile. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress far better than a tired pallet — and on Chatham's sandy, wind-scoured outer-Cape lots, where new sod dries fast in the steady breeze, live rooting sod laid the same day it was cut makes a real difference.
The tightly spaced lots and grey-shingle cottages of the village center, the exposed shoreline grounds around the harbor and North Chatham, and the more sheltered interior lots among scrub oak and pine — we install across all of it, and we plan for the wind exposure, salt air, and seasonal occupancy before the truck rolls.
The village lots sit close together with tight drives, and the shoreline ground goes soft and sandy after rain, so a curbside drop rarely works here. Our all-terrain forklift sets pallets right where the crew is laying instead of stranding them at the road, so we're not dragging sod across a finished walk or a neighbor's line to reach the yard.
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 — the sensible route on thin, wind-exposed Chatham soil that needs real depth built under it to hold moisture. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew arrives with the sod and lays it tight.
Every Chatham install is scoped per project — square footage, access, prep needs, drainage, and the wind and salt exposure that come with an outer-Cape lot. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before crews are scheduled, so the scope and sequence are settled well before install day.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, and we bring the same fresh-cut product and install standard to the Cape that we run in our home market. Residential lawns, commercial grounds, and contractor wholesale all get the same crew and the same standard, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience.

Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“Amazing prices! The process was extremely stress-free from ordering online to delivery. Communication was fabulous with the company and the grass is amazing. We do not have an irrigation system and maintained the grass by simply hosing twice a day for 15 minutes. I highly recommend this company.”
“Sean and his team have done an excellent job taking care of my Sod needs in a timely fashion! Communication and customer service is excellent!!”
“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!”
“Highly recommend CT Sod. Sean was a pleasure to work with and the quality is top notch. Weather had delayed the delivery for a few days, so Sean and his crew installed the sod free of charge for the inconvenience. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I will be using CT Sod for all of my sod in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
