Three Ways We Work With You

Option 1

Delivery Only

All 8 States

Fresh-cut sod delivered to your property — you or your landscaper handle prep and install. All-terrain forklift placement included so pallets land where the crew needs them, not stranded in the driveway.

  • Single pallet minimum (600 sf delivered)
  • Same-day cut from the farm
  • Forklift placement on every delivery

Option 2

Delivery + Prep

Select Markets

We handle the sod-specific prep work — old-turf strip, topsoil, grading, and rolling — then deliver fresh sod for you or your landscaper to lay. Useful when your crew can lay sod but you'd rather not coordinate the prep separately.

  • Old turf removed and disposed off-site
  • Fresh screened topsoil + sod-ready grade
  • You or your landscaper lays the sod

Option 3

Full Install / Turnkey

CT + Westchester

End-to-end: site walk, written quote, prep, fresh-cut sod delivery, install by our sod-specialist crew, and aftercare handoff. One trade, one number, one schedule. Full-service install area covers Connecticut and Westchester County.

  • Site walk and written project quote
  • Same-day cut, delivered, and installed
  • Day-by-day watering schedule on handoff
02Northeast-proven, farm-cut to order

Sod Varieties We Install

Kentucky Bluegrass

KBG
Min sun: 6+ hrs Shade: Low–Medium

Dense, rich-color blue-green turf with strong self-repair from rhizomes. The classic Northeast estate look. Wants full sun and consistent watering during establishment.

Kentucky Bluegrass Sod

Black Beauty Tall Fescue

Tall Fescue
Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium

Drought- and heat-tolerant with deep rooting and good shade performance. Stays green further into summer dry spells than KBG. Great choice for mixed-light yards.

Black Beauty Tall Fescue Sod

Bluegrass-Fescue Blend

Blend
Min sun: 4–6 hrs Shade: Medium

Best-of-both: KBG's color and self-repair with tall fescue's drought tolerance and shade performance. Our most-installed variety for residential properties.

Bluegrass-Fescue Blend Sod

RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)

RTF
Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium

A newer tall fescue with self-spreading rhizomes — heat and drought tolerance plus better recovery from wear. Strong pick for active families and dog yards.

03Homeowners and contractors, two different rhythms

Who We Work With

For Homeowners

A Lawn That Looks Finished on Day One

Most of our residential installs are homeowners who want the lawn done right the first time — not a two-season seed-and-pray. We walk your site, talk through variety, sun, drainage, and use, and give you a written quote with the scope spelled out. Crews show up when they said they would and leave a watering schedule taped to your hose bib.

  • Free site walk and written quote
  • Variety guidance matched to your sun and soil
  • Sod-specialist crew (not a landscape generalist)
  • Aftercare handoff with watering and first-mow schedule

For Contractors

A Sod Sub You Can Build a Schedule Around

Landscape contractors, builders, and property managers use us as their sod sub. We install up to 30,000 sq ft/day with predictable scheduling, white-label crews if you want them on-site behind your brand, and contractor pricing on recurring volume. We don't touch hardscape, plantings, or irrigation — we deliver and lay sod and get out of your way.

  • 30,000 sq ft/day install capacity
  • White-label subcontracting available
  • Recurring-volume contractor pricing
  • Predictable lead times you can promise to your clients
04Step by step

What a Full-Service Install Looks Like

1

Site Walk & Written Quote

We measure, look at access, soil, drainage, and use, and write a quote with the scope and inclusions spelled out. No surprises mid-job.

2

Old-Lawn Removal & Prep

Existing turf and debris stripped and disposed off-site. Fresh screened topsoil where needed, hand-raked to sod-ready grade with positive drainage, then rolled.

3

Same-Day Fresh-Cut Sod

Sod cut at the farm the morning of install and on your lawn the same day — never sitting on a pallet for days.

4

Precise Installation

Brickwork-staggered seams, tight joints, rolled for soil contact before we leave. Sod-specialist crew, not a landscape generalist.

5

Aftercare Handoff

Day-by-day watering schedule, first-mow timing, and a one-page care sheet. We check in after the first 7–10 days on residential installs.

05Sod specialists, not generalists

Why Use Our Install Crews

Fresh-Cut, Not Inventory

Sod is cut against your install date — typically the day before — and laid the next day. No pallets baking in a yard for a week, no wilt, no transplant shock from sitting in the sun for three days.

Crews That Only Do Sod

Our install crews work full-time on sod — tighter seams, consistent grade, faster than a landscape generalist who lays sod twice a year.

8-State Footprint

CT, MA, NY (Westchester, Long Island, Hudson Valley, the Hamptons), NJ, RI, southern VT, NH, and ME. Same farm, same crews, same standards.

Honest Pricing & Scheduling

Public delivered pricing via the calculator. Install quoted per project so the number matches the work. Lead times we'll actually hit.

Sod Installation FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can you install sod on my property?
Standard lead time is 3–7 business days from a signed quote in the in-season window (April–November). Spring and early-fall peak weeks book out further; if you have a target date, call early. Year-round availability runs spring through late fall — we install as late as December depending on temperatures and ground conditions.
Do you remove the existing lawn before installing?
Yes, for our full-service install we strip the existing turf, dispose of it off-site, add fresh screened topsoil where needed, hand-rake to a sod-ready grade with positive drainage, and roll. For install-only jobs, you (or your landscaper) handle prep to those specs and we arrive to lay sod.
What's included in site prep?
Old-turf removal, off-site disposal, fresh screened topsoil to a depth that supports rooting, hand-raking to sod-ready grade, positive drainage pitch off the house and hardscape, and a roll to firm the bed. We do not install French drains, dry wells, or in-ground irrigation — those are specialist trades.
Can sod be installed year-round in the Northeast?
Effectively yes — sod installs spring through late fall, right up until the ground freezes. We routinely install through December across all 8 states depending on the season. Mid-summer installs (July–August) are fine but need heavier watering during establishment and predictable site access.
How is install pricing calculated?
Every install is quoted per project, not flat per-square-foot. Access, prep needs, site grading, variety choice, distance, and timing all affect the number. Delivered sod pricing is public via our sod calculator; for installed pricing call (203) 806-4086 and we'll walk through your site on the phone.
What's the project minimum?
Standard install minimum is 1,200 sq ft. Smaller projects can typically be served with pallet-only delivery (600 sq ft minimum) for you or your landscaper to install.
Do you offer contractor / white-label install pricing?
Yes. Landscape contractors, builders, and property managers who order recurring volume get white-label subcontracting at predictable scheduling and trade-relationship pricing. Call to set up an account: (203) 806-4086.
When can my family and dogs use the new lawn?
Stay off the sod for the first 2–3 weeks while the roots knit into the soil. Light foot traffic (checking sprinkler coverage, spot-watering dry seams) is fine after the first week. Hold dogs, kids, mowers, and furniture until you can grip a corner of sod and feel the root system holding.

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.

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!

I recently decided to purchase sod for my home. After carefully research my options for a sod company I decided to go with CT Sod from Connecticut. I called and spoke with Sean and explained to him what I wanted. Sean was very knowledgeable and assisted with answering the many questions I had. After ordering my sod and having it delivered CT Sod was also amazing in assisting in installing the sod. I would 100% recommend CT Sod, they are very knowledgeable and professional and were willing to meet my needs. They are definitely a five star company.

I recently ordered sod from CT Sod and had a great experience overall. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and the delivery arrived promptly the following Monday, right on time. The quality of the sod appears to be excellent — it’s been two weeks since installation, and it’s looking lush and healthy. I appreciate the timely delivery and the high quality of the product. I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.

Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.

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.

I’ve had sod deliveries from CT Sod to properties I have in both Greenwich and Milford. Each sod delivery has been high quality bluegrass sod, and both my neighbors and landscaper admired the quality. Kayla in the office even texts you the exact time it will come the night before.
