“I redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.”
Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Sod Installation in New Canaan, CT
Farm-cut sod delivered and installed by crews who lay sod nearly every day across Fairfield County estates.
Call (203) 806-4086
New Canaan properties — from West School blocks to the back-country estate parcels off Smith Ridge and Ponus Ridge — set a high bar for finished landscape work. The look depends as much on what's under the sod as what's on top: proper grading, clean seams, and turf that's still farm-fresh when it goes down.
CT Sod has been delivering and installing sod across New Canaan and lower Fairfield County for over 30 years. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, placed exactly where you need them by all-terrain forklift, and laid by crews whose only job is sod — not general landscaping.
Why Property Owners in New Canaan Choose CT Sod
Farm-Cut, Same-Day Sod
Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod establishes faster and handles transplant stress more reliably than sod that's been sitting on a pallet.
Sod-Specialist Install Crews
Our install team lays sod nearly every day across Fairfield County. Tight seams, proper grading transitions, and a finished surface that reads clean from the curb.
All-Terrain Forklift Placement
Steep driveways, narrow estate lanes, side-yard access — our forklifts place pallets exactly where the crew needs them. No double-handling, no dragging across finished hardscape.
Two Service Options
Choose install-only if you (or your landscaper) handle the prep, or full-service turnkey including site prep. Both are available in New Canaan and across CT + Westchester.
Written Quote Before Work Starts
Every install is scoped per project — square footage, access, prep needs, drainage. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before crews are scheduled. No surprises mid-job.
Over 30 Years on Fairfield County Properties
From front-yard re-sods to estate-scale projects, we've worked nearly every block in New Canaan, Darien, Greenwich, and Westport. We know the access constraints before we get there.

“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.”
