Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Farmington — the Farmington River valley loam near the village and Unionville, the open estate lots, and the wooded upland grades that climb toward the Metacomet ridge. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Farmington sits at the heart of the Farmington Valley where the river bends through the middle of town, and its lawns run a wide range within a few miles. Down near the river and the historic village the ground is a deep, workable loam laid down by the floodplain; the Unionville side carries older, denser residential blocks; and the western and southern edges climb into wooded upland where the topsoil thins over trap-rock ledge along the Metacomet and Talcott ridgelines. You get everything from open, sun-drenched estate lawns to shaded lots tucked under mature oak and maple canopy, so matching the sod to the light and the soil is the whole game.
CT Sod runs install crews across Hartford County and the Farmington 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, carried into the yard by all-terrain forklift, and laid the same day by a crew whose only job is sod — not general landscaping. On the open valley-loam lawns we lead with tall fescue or a bluegrass-fescue blend for durable color; on the shaded canopy lots we lean on tall fescue for shade tolerance; and on the dry upland grades near the ridge, tall fescue or RTF gives the deep roots a thin-soil lot needs to ride out a dry August. Choose install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want removal, grading, and topsoil folded into one scope.
Install day in Farmington follows one clean sequence. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the drive up to the valley. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in clean topsoil first; on install-only your landscaper has that prep done. Either way the all-terrain forklift sets pallets where the crew is laying — a real help on the long front lawns off the estate roads and on the pitched upland drives where dragging sod by hand is a slog. From there the crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to beds, walks, and stone edging, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff so the first soak goes down and the lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and shrugs off transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Farmington's dry upland grades near the Metacomet ridge where the topsoil layer runs thin and gives up moisture fast in midsummer.
The long estate front lawns and the pitched wooded drives on the western edge of town are no place to hand-drag sod across a finished walk. Our forklift carries each pallet from the truck to where the crew is laying, whether that's a wide open valley lot or a tight Unionville yard behind a stone wall, so nothing sits stranded at the curb.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open valley-loam lawns and the dry upland lots that have to ride out a dry summer on thin soil; a bluegrass-fescue blend under the mature oak and maple canopy on the shaded older blocks; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun yard wants the richest color. We pick the mix to the light and soil on your specific lot.
Full-service means CT Sod handles the whole scope — strip the old turf, grade, add clean topsoil, and lay the fresh sod, with one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper get the site stripped, graded, and rolled, and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to the edges.
Every Farmington install is scoped per project — square footage, access down the estate roads or into the tighter Unionville blocks, prep needs, drainage on the valley loam, and the light on shaded canopy lots. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises on install day.
We're sod specialists, not a general landscaping outfit that also lays sod on the side. That focus shows in tight seams, clean grading transitions, and edges cut in neatly around beds and walks — backed by 30 years of sod industry experience across the Farmington Valley, so a Farmington front lawn reads clean from the road the day we finish.

New Canaan, CT
Our first commercial job story: a schedule mixup left no installers on the day the sod arrived — and the property had a party that same afternoon. Our crew laid 4,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass in steady rain, at no extra charge, and the lawn was ready before the guests.
Fairfield, CT
The finish of our Fairfield pool-rebuild story: gravel and hardened concrete slurry out, screened topsoil and irrigation in, and 2,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass wrapping the new pool and stone patio.
Milford, CT
The finish of our Milford patio-damage story: dead machine routes stripped and regraded in the morning, 1,500 sq ft of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass laid the same afternoon — sprinklers running before the trailer left the curb.
