“I had an excellent experience with CT SO company from start to finish. They prepared the ground and installed new sod with great care and professionalism. The crew was punctual, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. What impressed me the most was how comfortable they made me feel throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain each step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew what to expect. Their communication was outstanding, and I always felt confident that my yard was in good hands. The finished lawn looks beautiful, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled lawn professionals. I'm very happy!!! Thank you for transforming my yard!”

Sod Installation in Connecticut
End-to-end sod installation across Connecticut — from the Fairfield County Gold Coast through the Hartford and New Haven metros, the Litchfield Hills — where we completed a 9,000 sq ft tall fescue install in Bridgewater in August 2026 — and the eastern Connecticut shoreline. Connecticut is our home state. Our crews work here every day — old-lawn removal, grading, fresh topsoil, and sod cut to order and laid the day it leaves the farm. Standard lead time is 3–10 days in season; book early for May–June dates. Call (203) 806-4086 for a project quote.
CT Sod installs sod in all eight Connecticut counties from Milford. In 2026 our crews installed 92,600 square feet in Connecticut, including 17,000 sq ft in Shelton, 17,000 in New Canaan, 11,000 at Greenwich Central Middle School, and 8,000 in Westport in a single day.

Connecticut Rules That Touch a Sod Install
- Connecticut Public Act 12-155 restricts phosphorus on established lawns without a soil test, sets a December 1–March 15 application blackout, and requires a 20-foot water buffer; see the Connecticut lawn-rules source guide.
- Inland-wetlands upland review areas are set town by town, so the distance must be checked in the Connecticut lawn rules by town.
- CGS 22a-329 sets a half-acre erosion-control threshold; the town-detail source guide explains how it touches lawn work.
- Aquarion uses mandatory twice-weekly irrigation from April 1 through October 31 in its towns, with a New Planting variance; verify the town and variance in the Connecticut rules guide.
- Town noise ordinances set local working hours, and the linked town guides and rules index point to the applicable sources.

5-Star Reviews from CT Sod Customers
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“Was leveling backyard and need help picking sod and know how much they did a great job of educating me and helping pick. Then when half didn't take for reason none of us could figure out they went above and beyond to make sure the back yard looked great .”
“CT Sod was very easy to work with. The communication about delivery was very accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
