Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Guilford — the historic homes around Guilford Green, the salt-marsh and beach lots down near the Sound, and the wooded hill country north toward Durham. Salt-tolerant varieties where they are needed, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Recent job — Darien, CT
Darien, CT
This job is from Darien, CT. CT Sod serves Guilford with the same sod-specialist crews.
The landscape company completed preparation and hired CT Sod to supply and install the sod. For this first-time commercial customer, our combined price made more sense than handling the sod installation themselves.

Local Installation Planning
Guilford is built around one of the largest and best-known town greens in New England, and its lawns fan out from there across a town that reaches from the Sound to the trap-rock hills inland. Around Guilford Green and the historic center the lots carry antique homes, mature street trees, and older narrow drives; down near the water the ground runs low and salt-touched along the marsh and beach, on sandy outwash; and back in the northern hill country toward Durham the land turns wooded and rocky on glacial-till loam, with ledge surfacing in places. That range means a Guilford lawn can call for very different prep and variety lot to lot, and either way it depends on sod that is still farm-fresh when it goes down.
CT Sod is based in Milford, a short run up the shoreline from Guilford, which makes it one of our closest install markets — backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never stockpiled, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift rather than left at the road. A crew whose only work is sod lays it the same day it was harvested. On the shaded historic blocks around the green we lead with a bluegrass-fescue blend; the open, salt-exposed marsh and beach lots get tall fescue for deep roots and tolerance; and the sunny inland yards get whichever suits the site. Choose install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want turf removal, grading, and topsoil handled in one scope.
Here is what install day looks like in Guilford. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and carried the short run up the shoreline. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only your landscaper has that prep done. The all-terrain forklift then sets pallets where the crew is laying — a real help on the narrow historic drives near the green where there is no room to stage a load, and on the soft, low marsh-edge lots down by the water. From there the crew rolls the sod out, cuts it in tight to walks, walls, and beds, and rolls the seams. Before we leave, you get a same-day watering handoff so the new 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 handles transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on the salt-touched marsh and beach lots down by the Sound as much as on the shaded, older ground around Guilford Green.
Our trucks and install crews run out of Milford, a short run up the shoreline from Guilford. That means tighter delivery windows, faster turnaround from quote to install, and a crew that already knows the narrow historic drives around the green, the low marsh-edge lots near the water, and the ledge up in the northern hills.
Tall fescue for the open, salt-exposed marsh and beach lots where a lawn needs deep roots and tolerance; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded historic blocks around the green under mature street trees; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun inland yard away from the salt wants the richest color and can be watered.
The narrow older drives near the green leave no room to stage a full load, and the low marsh-edge lots down by the water stay soft and wet. Our forklifts carry pallets where the crew is laying rather than stranding them at the road or bogging a truck, so nothing gets dragged past a stone wall or an antique-home walk.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod in one scope, with a single point of contact from quote through completion — often the better route on the low, wet marsh-edge lots. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers — delivery and installation with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market just up the shoreline. Historic lots near the green, salt-marsh renovations near the water, and wooded hill lots up north all get the same crew and the same standards.

Trumbull, CT
The front-yard installation for a builder who switched from seed to sod after working with CT Sod. We arranged a return to lay the extra pallet once he prepared a rear-yard area; the photos show the completed front lawn.
Westport, CT
An order mix-up left 8,000 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass mix with no home, so a Westport homeowner got full prep and installation compressed into a single Friday — buried rock and fill hauled off, screened topsoil in, and sod down by dark. The last small strip finishes with a fresh cutting the next week.

“Sean and his team have done an excellent job taking care of my Sod needs in a timely fashion! Communication and customer service is excellent!!”
“CT Sod was very easy to work with. The communication about delivery was very accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“I worked with Sean and the CT Sod team on a fairly involved residential site-work project in New Canaan, including grading, soil work and a large sod installation. Sean was responsive, straightforward and very easy to work with throughout the project, including when the scope evolved along the way. His team did quality work, stayed flexible, and the finished result came out great. I’d absolutely recommend CT Sod and look forward to working with them again.”
“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”
“I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!”
“We had a great experience with this sod company. They were professional, reliable, and did an excellent job from start to finish. Sean was very easy to work with! The lawn has rooted well and looks healthy and beautiful. We're very happy with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new sod installation. Thank you for a job well done!”
