Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Englewood Cliffs — the Palisades ledge lots along the top of the cliffs, the dramatic grade changes, and the wooded borough streets. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Englewood Cliffs sits right where the Palisades rise sharply over the Hudson, and that geology shapes every lawn in the borough. The cliffs mean rocky ledge close to the surface in many places, thin soil over hard rock, and grade changes that can be dramatic from the street to the back of a lot. Off the ledge the borough softens into wooded residential streets with mature canopy and deeper glacial-till loam, but even there the ground rolls and the drainage runs fast. Homes range from mid-century ranches to substantial modern builds, and the common thread is that a finished lawn here depends on reading the grade and the soil depth honestly — what the sod sits on matters as much as the sod, because thin soil over ledge dries out fast and steep pitches shed water before it soaks in.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Englewood Cliffs and the Northern Valley, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, moved by all-terrain forklift so they land where the crew is working even on a pitched or ledge-backed lot, and laid the same day by crews whose only job is sod, not general landscaping. Take it install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want us to strip the old lawn, grade, work in topsoil, and lay the fresh sod as one scope. It is the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, with a written quote before any crew is scheduled.
Here is what install day looks like in Englewood Cliffs. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the run to the Palisades. On the steep and ledge-backed lots the forklift does the hard part, carrying pallets up or down the grade and setting them where the crew is laying instead of stranding them at a curb the crew would have to climb from. On a full-service job the crew strips, grades, and blends in topsoil first, building depth where the soil runs thin over rock; on install-only your prep is done and we go straight to laying. Either way the crew works tight seams that hold on a slope, cuts clean around beds, walls, and ledge outcrops, and rolls the sod the same day it was harvested, then hands off the watering plan the fast-draining ground needs.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation and never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and takes transplant stress better, which is critical on the Englewood Cliffs ledge lots where thin soil over rock drains quickly and dries out — a tired pallet would struggle to knit in before it loses moisture on that fast-draining ground.
The Palisades geology means grade changes and rocky ledge on many borough lots, so a curbside drop leaves sod where the crew cannot use it. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets up and down the pitch and sets them where the crew is laying, so nothing has to be hauled up a slope or dragged past a retaining wall or ledge outcrop by hand.
On the sunny, fast-draining ledge lots we lead with a tall fescue blend for the deep roots that ride out dry spells on thin soil over rock. On the wooded borough streets under mature canopy we shift to a bluegrass-fescue blend that tolerates afternoon shade while keeping color, so the turf matches the very different conditions the borough throws at it lot by lot.
Full-service means we handle the whole scope — stripping the old lawn, grading the pitch, building topsoil depth over thin ledge ground, and laying the fresh sod, with one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper prep and grade the site, and our sod-only crew shows up with the farm-cut pallets and lays them tight.
Every Englewood Cliffs install is scoped per project — square footage, the grade and any ledge, access up or down the pitch, prep needs, and drainage on that fast-shedding ground. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so the plan for a tricky Palisades lot is settled before the truck rolls.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, delivering and installing across the Northern Valley with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That focus shows in seams that hold on a slope, clean edges around ledge and walls, and a crew that lays sod nearly every day and knows how fresh turf behaves on thin, fast-draining ground.

“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.”
