Manhasset is the North Shore commuter and residential hamlet in the Town of North Hempstead — the Plandome Hills and Munsey Park residential blocks designed in the 1920s as planned communities, the Strathmore-Vanderbilt corridor, the historic Plandome village along the bay, the Americana Manhasset luxury retail corridor and the LIRR Manhasset station along the Northern Boulevard (Route 25A) spine, and the waterfront lots along Manhasset Bay. Soils sit on the typical Nassau moraine — glacial-till loam over sandy subsoil, with sandy salt-influenced loam along the Manhasset Bay waterfront. Lawns deal with the planned-community standard set by Munsey Park's deed restrictions, the mature canopy of nearly century-old oaks across the older planned blocks, and the institutional residential standards that define the corridor.
CT Sod has been delivering and installing sod across Nassau County for years. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, hauled out to the North Shore, placed exactly where you need them by all-terrain forklift — even down a Manhasset Bay waterfront slope — and laid by crews whose only job is sod, not general landscaping.
Here is what install day looks like in Manhasset. Once the written quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded straight onto the truck for the run to the North Shore. Your landscaper has the site graded and prepped, so when the truck arrives the all-terrain forklift takes over on the tight Munsey Park drives under the century oaks and the grades dropping toward Manhasset Bay, setting pallets at the work site rather than the curb. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it in tight to beds and walks, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we go, we hand off the watering plan — with the extra passes the sandy subsoil needs — so the first soak goes down that afternoon.
