Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Katonah — the wooded estate lots off the winding roads, the stone-wall parcels of northern Westchester, and the tree-lined streets near the hamlet. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Katonah sits in the horse-and-stone-wall country of northern Westchester, where the roads wind between wooded ridges and old fieldstone walls trace property lines that predate the lawns behind them. Lots run large out here — estate parcels tucked back off the road behind long driveways, framed by mature woods, with open sunny clearings giving way to deep shade under oak, maple, and hickory canopy. Closer to the hamlet the parcels tighten up on tree-lined streets. The land rolls and pitches over rocky glacial till, with ledge close to the surface on the higher ground and thin topsoil on the wooded rises that dries out fast in summer. And this is real deer country: browse pressure is heavy through the woods, so the whole landscape gets planned around it. On a Katonah lot, honest prep, the right variety for the shade, and getting equipment down a long drive are what make a lawn work.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Katonah and the surrounding northern Westchester towns, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, hauled in, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift — down the long drives and past the tree lines, not stranded at the road. A crew whose only job is sod, not general landscaping, lays it the same day it was cut. You can run install-only, where you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service, where we strip, grade, and topsoil first — the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market.
Here is what install day looks like in Katonah. Once the written quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded onto the truck. When it arrives, the all-terrain forklift handles what the rural lots make hard — carrying pallets down a long estate driveway, past stone walls and tree lines, and onto a clearing where the truck can't follow, so the sod stays fresh instead of being dropped at the road and hauled a long way by hand. From there the crew rolls it out, cuts it in tight to walls, beds, and walks, and rolls the seams while the sod is fresh from the harvest. Before we leave, you get a same-day watering handoff, with extra attention to the wooded rises where thin soil sheds water quickly.
Your sod is cut 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 Katonah's wooded rises where thin topsoil over rocky till dries out quickly and a stressed lawn struggles to establish before the summer heat sets in.
Katonah estate lots sit well back off winding roads behind long driveways, stone walls, and tree lines. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets the full length of the drive and onto the clearing where the crew is laying, so the sod isn't stranded at the road and no one hand-hauls heavy rolls a long way past the walls to get them where the lawn goes.
Katonah lawns swing from open, sunny clearings to deep shade under mature oak, maple, and hickory. We lead with a tall fescue blend on the open, drier parcels for deep roots, and a bluegrass-fescue blend under the heavier canopy where straight bluegrass thins. The variety gets matched to the light on your specific clearing rather than laid one way across the whole wooded lot.
Go install-only if you or your landscaper strip the old turf, add topsoil, and grade and roll the pad — our crew arrives with the sod and lays it tight. Or choose full-service and we handle removal, topsoil, grading, and rolling before the sod goes down, under one scope with a single point of contact. Both run across Katonah, scoped in writing before any crew is scheduled.
We install sod across Katonah and the surrounding northern Westchester towns — Bedford, Somers, Mount Kisco, Lewisboro, Pound Ridge, Armonk, and Briarcliff Manor. That range means we already know the winding roads, the long estate driveways, the stone-wall parcels, and the heavy deer pressure that shapes a lawn in this wooded corner of the county.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who also lay turf. Every Katonah install is backed by 30 years of sod industry experience — reading the shade and soil on a wooded lot, planning access down a long rural drive, matching variety to the light, and setting tight seams and clean edges so a new lawn reads right against the stone walls and tree lines that frame it.

Purchase, NY
The finish of our Purchase pool-build story: 12,000 square feet of torn-up construction dirt regraded and laid wall to wall with fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass — from the street to the back tree line, flush with the brand-new patio stone.
Montauk, NY
Back with the same East End builder one door down from our June install — 4,500 sq ft of fresh-cut sod laid around the pool while the listing was already live with the lawn rendered in.
Water Mill, NY
A multi-acre tall fescue estate with a private vineyard — these clips came in from restaurateur Willie Degel (Restaurant Stakeout, Uncle Jack's Steakhouse) four years after we installed it, sent unprompted and shared with permission: still thick and green from the motor court out to the vineyard rows.

“I redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.”
“Shawn at CT Sod was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and kept the cost within my budget. Great service and easy to work with — highly recommend!”
“CT Sod’s website was very helpful for pricing and installation advice. Purchase was easy. The sod was very healthy when it arrived, my son and I installed, and it looks great.”

“We used CT sod it was an excellent experience very high-quality grass with fair pricing and excellent communication highly recommend them to anyone looking for sod any questions I had when installing it they walked me through it will be using them from now on any sod job I get.”
“Excellent price and high quality work. All the workers were clean and respectful. The whole process took a few weeks from order to installation however it is well worth the wait. They also sodded extra areas and did some mulch at no charge.”
