Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod delivered and installed across Locust Valley — the North Shore Gold Coast estate lots behind tall privet hedges, under mature specimen trees, on sandy Long Island soil — by crews who lay sod across Nassau County.
(203) 806-4086
Locust Valley sits on Long Island's North Shore near Oyster Bay, an old Gold Coast community where the estate character is still very much intact — long private drives, tall clipped privet screening the road, mature specimen trees standing over broad lawns, and a small, walkable village center among the surrounding wooded ridges. The lots run large, set into the low rolling terrain of the North Shore moraine, and the soil is the region's classic outwash: sandy loam that drains fast and dries quickly, which is why in-ground irrigation is common across the estate lawns here. Mature canopy throws real afternoon shade near the houses. A finished Locust Valley lawn depends on the right variety for fast-draining ground and prep that helps the soil hold moisture, so what goes under the sod matters as much as the sod itself.
CT Sod has been delivering and installing sod across Nassau County for years, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, hauled out to Long Island, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift — past the privet hedges and down the long drives, not stranded at the road. Crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing but sod, not general landscaping. You can go install-only, with you or your landscaper handling the prep, or full-service where we handle the site work and the install in one scope. Either way you get the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market.
Here is what install day looks like in Locust Valley. 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 for the run out to Long Island. 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. Either way the all-terrain forklift moves the pallets past the clipped privet, down the long drive, and around the specimen trees to set them near where the crew is laying — the practical way onto a deep estate lot the truck can't reach. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to beds and walks, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we pull out, we hand off the watering plan the sandy outwash soil needs, so the first soak goes down.
Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation — never pulled from a stockpile. Fresh sod roots faster and handles the sandy-loam transplant stress of the North Shore outwash that finishes a stockpiled pallet within a week of delivery, so it establishes reliably on Locust Valley's fast-draining estate ground.
We install across Locust Valley — the large estate parcels behind tall privet hedges, the broad lawns under mature specimen trees, the wooded ridges of the North Shore moraine, and the smaller lots near the walkable village center — and we plan for the long private drives, gated entries, and tight village access before the truck rolls.
Estate lots here sit deep behind clipped privet and long private drives, out of a delivery truck's reach, while the village lots have tighter parking. Our forklifts move each pallet past the hedge, down the drive, or off the truck in minutes, so nothing is dragged across a manicured lawn or a finished bluestone walk.
On the open, sunny estate lawns with fast-draining sandy loam, tall fescue reaches deep for the drought tolerance that ground demands between waterings. Under the mature specimen-tree canopy near the houses, a shade-tolerant bluegrass-fescue blend keeps the color up where straight bluegrass would thin out in the afternoon shade.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod — one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the grading and prep, and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to the finished grade, coordinating with the crew already on site.
Every install is scoped per project — square footage, estate-drive or village access, prep needs, the sandy-soil variety call, and the install window. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before crews are scheduled, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience.

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.
