Exeter is one of the more rural towns in South County, a spread of woods, farm fields, and large house lots set back off the country roads. Most yards here are big and open where the trees have been cleared, then close fast into oak and pine at the tree line, so a single lot can carry full sun in front and heavy shade along the edges. The ground is a mix of sandy coastal-plain outwash that drains quickly and rockier glacial till further inland, and almost every property runs on a private well rather than town water. Deer move through the wood lines freely. All of that shapes what a new lawn needs: sod that roots deep enough to ride out a dry stretch, and a watering plan that respects a well.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across South County and the rest of Rhode Island with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift, and rolled out the same day by a crew whose only job is sod, not general landscaping. On Exeter's open, sandy lots we lead with tall fescue or RTF for the deep roots and drought tolerance a dry, fast-draining yard needs; the shaded strips along the tree line get a tall fescue blend that holds up where sun is thin. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service for the whole scope under one hand.
Here is what install day looks like in Exeter. 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 out to the country. On a big rural lot with a long drive, the all-terrain forklift is the difference between sod placed where the crew is laying and sod stranded at the road — it carries pallets across the yard, past soft spots and beds, and sets them down at the work. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it in tight to walks and edges, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave you get a watering handoff built around your well and your soil, so the first soak goes down without drawing the system down, and the new lawn starts rooting right away.
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, which matters on Exeter's open, sandy outwash lots where the ground drains fast and dry, and a stressed pallet can lose the fight before it ever knits into the soil.
Exeter lots are large, often with a long drive and soft, uneven ground between the road and the lawn. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets across the yard and sets them where the crew is laying rather than leaving them stranded at the road, so nothing gets double-handled or dragged across a finished drive, and the crew keeps working instead of hauling.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny lots on sandy outwash that have to ride out a dry summer on a well, where deep roots reach down for moisture; a tall fescue blend for the shaded strips along the oak and pine tree lines where straight bluegrass thins; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun yard wants the richest color and knit.
Choose install-only if you or your landscaper strip the old turf, add topsoil, and grade and roll the area, and we arrive with the farm-cut sod and lay it tight. Or go full-service and we handle removal, topsoil, grading, and rolling before the sod goes down, running the whole scope under one point of contact from quote through completion.
Every Exeter install is scoped per project, from a cleared front lawn in full sun to a shaded lot with drainage and a well to work around. You get a written quote that spells out the square footage, access, prep, and variety before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises once the truck rolls up the drive.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, delivering and installing across South County with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That is 30 years of sod industry experience behind every residential, commercial, and contractor job, with the same crew and the same standards each time out.

“Excellent service, great product. Delivery was delayed 1 day because of weather. I was contacted immediately of the change, and given multiple delivery times for my convenience. Great company fair prices, and excellent communication.”
“Sean was great to work with. We set my sod install up in just a matter of days and his guys are fast and efficient and explain to me how to take care of My new sod. I would definitely 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.”
“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.”
