“If you are looking for sod in the New England area this is the place to go. My son and his family recently moved to Claremont NH and needed sod. Due to his busy schedule and being new to the area and not being able to find a local installer I planned a trip from NC to install it for him. The ordering process was easy and I believe Kayla was helpful on the phone explaining different grass options and what would work best for the area. She scheduled the sod delivery about a month out for me which allowed me to time plan my short weekend trip. On delivery day things did not go as planned due to situations beyond CT Sod’s control. I was updated by Sean throughout the day regarding the issues and his plans to make it happen. Unfortunately it did not. Sean promised to make it right and realized I had a made a special trip up for the install. I did not get to install sod that weekend but Sean and CT Sod went above and beyond to make the issue right. Sod was delivered and installed a few days after I arrived home and the quality and customer service was above and beyond. The sod looked so good people who were driving by have been inquiring to my son about where it was from and commenting how great it looks. Shout out to CT Sod for making a bad situation into a great one. As a general contractor in NC I wish we had vendors like these folks who do the right thing without being asked!!!”

Warren, RI
2,600 sq ft full prep & install — finished front and back
This job is from Warren, RI. CT Sod serves Glocester with the same sod-specialist crews.
A Connecticut landscaper CT Sod supplies hired our crew for the full prep and install at his Warren job rather than send his own crew nearly three hours out — the first Rhode Island project documented on the site. Old lawn stripped, finish grade set, and fresh-cut sod rolled in tight to the paths and beds, front and back.

Local Installation Planning
What to Know About Installing Sod in Glocester
Glocester stretches across Rhode Island's northwestern hills, with the old village of Chepachet at its center and Route 44 and Route 100 threading through miles of forest, reservoir land, and horse pasture. This is big-lot country. Homes sit on wooded acreage bordered by fieldstone walls, many of them well back from the road, and the terrain rolls between low wet hollows and higher ledge outcrops. The soil is classic glacial till — stony, on the acidic side, and slow to warm — with mature hardwood canopy dropping heavy shade across a lot of yards. Nearly every property draws from a private well, and deer move freely between the woodlots, so a durable turf and a smart watering plan both earn their keep out here.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Glocester and the rural northwest, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation instead of sitting on a stockpile, and an all-terrain forklift places it where the crew is working — down a long drive, past a wall, up a rise — rather than leaving it at the curb. The crew that lays it works on sod nearly every day, not general landscaping, and brings the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. On the shaded clearings we lean on a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open, sunny lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots that carry a lawn through a dry summer on well water.
Install day in Glocester follows a clean sequence. After the quote is approved and the date set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the run out to the hills. On full-service the crew strips old turf, grades, and works in topsoil so the roots meet something better than raw till; on install-only, your prep is already done. The forklift then walks pallets down the drive and past the tree line, keeping sod off finished walks and out of the mud in the low spots. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to beds and stone walls, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we head out, you get a watering handoff built for a well so the first soak goes down without straining the pump.
Why Property Owners in Glocester Choose CT Sod
Farm-Cut, Same-Day Sod
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 counts for a lot on Glocester's cold, stony glacial till where slow-draining ground is unforgiving of sod that has already dried out.
All-Terrain Forklift on Wooded Acreage
Glocester houses sit back on wooded lots off Route 44 and Route 100, often at the end of a long drive behind a stone wall or a stand of hardwoods. The all-terrain forklift carries pallets down the drive and out to the crew, so nothing gets stranded at the road, dropped in a wet hollow, or dragged across a lawn you are trying to finish.
Chepachet Village to the Reservoir Ridges
We install across all of Glocester — the older homes around Chepachet village, the newer lots along Route 44 and Route 100, and the wooded acreage up on the ridges above the reservoir land. Big rural lots, tight village parcels, and everything between get the same fresh-cut product and the same tight-seam standard.
Prep Included If You Want It
Full-service means the crew strips the old turf, grades, works in topsoil, and lays the fresh sod, one point of contact from quote to completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and grading, and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to your edges, beds, and fieldstone walls.
Written Quote Before Work Starts
Every Glocester install is scoped per project — square footage, drive length and pitch, tree cover, well capacity, and how much prep the raw till needs before sod. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions laid out before any crew is scheduled, so the scope is clear before install day arrives.
30 Years of Sod Industry Experience
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, and we bring installation to Glocester with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That focus is what keeps seams tight, edges clean, and the sod cool and still rooted when it comes off the truck onto a hillside lot.
