Multi-acre estate sodded by CT Sod on Long Island's East End — same Hamptons farm-cut tall fescue we install on Manhasset North Shore properties

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.

Why Property Owners in Manhasset Choose CT Sod

Farm-Cut for Long Island

Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod establishes faster and handles the salt-influenced waterfront and sandy-subsoil transplant stress that finishes a stockpiled pallet within a week.

Every Manhasset Neighborhood

Munsey Park, Strathmore-Vanderbilt, Plandome, Plandome Hills, Plandome Manor, the Northern Boulevard corridor, the Americana retail corridor, and the Manhasset Bay waterfront — we install across all of it and know the Munsey Park deed restrictions, century-oak canopy variety calls, and waterfront slope access before we get there.

All-Terrain Forklift for Waterfront Slopes

The waterfront lots along Manhasset Bay slope down toward the water enough that a curbside drop leaves your crew hauling sod a long way from where the work is happening. Our forklifts handle that grade and set pallets at the job site, not the street.

Install-Only on Long Island

On Long Island we run install-only — you (or your landscaper) handle the prep, and our crew shows up with the sod and lays it tight. The Long Island surcharge applies on orders over 1,200 sq ft; full-service prep + install is available across CT and Westchester.

Written Quote Before Work Starts

Every install is scoped per project — square footage, planned-community variety call, slope access, salt exposure on the bayfront blocks, install window. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before crews are scheduled.

Coordinates With Your Landscaper

Most Manhasset installs are part of a larger landscape build managed by a local crew. We work as the sod supplier and install specialist — same fresh-cut product, same install standard you'd get on a Greenwich or Westchester job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sod Installation in Manhasset

Which Manhasset neighborhoods do you install sod in?

We install across all of Manhasset — Munsey Park, Strathmore-Vanderbilt, the three Plandomes (Plandome, Plandome Hills, and Plandome Manor), the blocks off the Americana Manhasset corridor on Northern Boulevard, and the waterfront lots along Manhasset Bay. We also lay sod in nearby Garden City, Old Westbury, Brookville, Locust Valley, Sands Point, and Cold Spring Harbor.

What kind of soil and grass should I expect for a Manhasset lawn?

Most of Manhasset sits on the Nassau terminal moraine — glacial-till loam over a sandy subsoil that drains fast — so we usually steer Munsey Park and Plandome lawns toward a Kentucky bluegrass blend or a tall fescue that holds up under the century-old oak canopy. Closer to Manhasset Bay the soil turns into a sandier, salt-influenced loam, and there we lean on a more salt- and drought-tolerant fescue. The variety call is part of every quote.

Can you get pallets down to the Manhasset Bay waterfront properties?

Yes. The waterfront lots off Plandome Road and along the bay often drop on a grade a standard delivery truck can't manage, and the older Munsey Park drives are tight under mature trees. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets down the slope and around the canopy to wherever the crew is working, instead of leaving them stacked at the curb on Northern Boulevard.

Do you handle the prep, or just lay the sod, in Manhasset?

On Long Island we run install-only — you or your landscaper handle the grading and prep, and our sod-specialist crew shows up with farm-cut sod and lays it tight the same day it's cut. A surcharge applies on Long Island orders over 1,200 square feet. Full-service prep-plus-install is available on our Connecticut and Westchester jobs, but in Manhasset we work as the supply-and-install specialist alongside your existing crew.

Are there local rules in Munsey Park that affect a sod install?

Munsey Park carries long-standing deed restrictions on landscaping and street-facing work, so we coordinate timing and staging with your landscaper or property manager before a crew rolls in. It mostly affects where we stage pallets and how we time the install — not the work itself — and we sort it out at the quote stage so install day stays clean.

How do I keep new Manhasset sod alive over a dry Long Island summer?

Because the sandy moraine subsoil under most of Manhasset drains quickly, fresh sod needs more frequent, lighter watering than a heavy-clay lawn would — keep it consistently damp for the first two to three weeks, then taper as the roots take hold. Hold off mowing until the sod is firmly rooted, usually around 14 to 21 days. On the salt-exposed bay lots we'll flag a longer establishment window when we quote it.

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!

Placing an order online was easy, they answered a follow up email quickly and texted the day before our schedule delivery date to give me a window for the delivery. The delivery was made on time, and so far the sod is looking good.
