Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Mansfield — the Storrs village around the UConn campus edge, the Route 195 and Route 89 corridors, and the rural lots along the Fenton and Mount Hope river valleys. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Mansfield is really two towns in one, and any install here starts by figuring out which one you are in. Storrs, wrapped around the University of Connecticut campus, is the dense, busy heart — village blocks, faculty and staff neighborhoods, and rental-heavy streets where lots are tighter and parking and traffic have to be worked around. Push out along Route 195, Route 89, and the back roads and Mansfield opens right back up into classic Quiet Corner countryside: rural lots on rolling glacial-till uplands, farm frontage, and homes strung along the Fenton and Mount Hope river valleys. The soil is loam over stony subsoil, rockier and thinner on the ridges, damper in the river lowlands. Mature hardwoods shade the older Storrs streets and the road-front country yards alike, deer pressure is steady off the wood lines, and outside the village core most homes draw from private wells.
CT Sod runs install crews across Tolland County and the northeastern uplands, and Mansfield is squarely in that footprint. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never pulled from a stockpile, then delivered the same day, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Around Storrs we plan for tighter access, campus-edge traffic, and shaded village lots; out in the rural stretches we plan for long drives, big open lots, and well-fed watering. On the shaded village and road-front yards we lead with a tall fescue blend or bluegrass-fescue mix; the open, dry upland lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots on thin soil. Book install-only if your prep is handled, or full-service to hand off the whole scope end to end.
Install day in Mansfield is planned around which end of town you are in. Once the date is set, the sod is harvested fresh that morning and loaded for the run out toward Storrs or the river valleys. In the tighter Storrs neighborhoods the all-terrain forklift moves pallets off the truck fast so we are not tying up a busy campus-edge street, and it carries them past parked cars straight to the yard. On the rural lots it runs pallets down long gravel drives so nobody hand-hauls sod across a field. A crew that lays sod nearly every day sets tight seams and clean edges, working around wells, septic fields, slopes, and mature canopy. Because most Mansfield homes outside the village run on wells, we finish with a watering handoff matched to your system so the sod roots from day one.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and rides out transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Mansfield's dry upland lots where thin, stony soil gives new sod little margin once summer heat settles over the Storrs uplands and the river-valley slopes.
Mansfield runs from tight, busy village lots around the UConn campus to rural parcels off long drives. Our all-terrain forklift moves pallets off the truck fast so we are not blocking a campus-edge street, carries them past parked cars to the yard, and on the rural lots runs them down a long gravel drive — so nothing gets hand-hauled or left stranded at the road.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny upland lots where thin soil dries fast and the lawn has to ride out a dry summer and shrug off deer; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded Storrs village streets and the road-front country yards under mature canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun lot can be kept watered and the owner wants the richest color.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod as one scope with a single point of contact from quote through finish. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew shows up with farm-cut sod and lays it tight. Both options run across Mansfield, from a Storrs village lot to a big river-valley property.
Every Mansfield install is scoped per property — square footage, village or rural access, campus-edge traffic, slope, well-fed watering, and prep needs. You get a written quote spelling out the work and inclusions before any crew is scheduled, so nothing about your particular lot gets assumed and there are no surprises on the day.
Sod delivery and installation is the whole business, not a sideline to general landscaping. That focus is why our crews handle a tight Storrs street, a long rural drive, or a well-fed watering plan without missing a beat, and why the fresh-cut product goes down with tight seams across everything Mansfield offers.

New Canaan, CT
Our first commercial job story: a schedule mixup left no installers on the day the sod arrived — and the property had a party that same afternoon. Our crew laid 4,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass in steady rain, at no extra charge, and the lawn was ready before the guests.
Fairfield, CT
The finish of our Fairfield pool-rebuild story: gravel and hardened concrete slurry out, screened topsoil and irrigation in, and 2,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass wrapping the new pool and stone patio.
Milford, CT
The finish of our Milford patio-damage story: dead machine routes stripped and regraded in the morning, 1,500 sq ft of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass laid the same afternoon — sprinklers running before the trailer left the curb.

“Amazing prices! The process was extremely stress-free from ordering online to delivery. Communication was fabulous with the company and the grass is amazing. We do not have an irrigation system and maintained the grass by simply hosing twice a day for 15 minutes. I highly recommend this company.”
“Amazing customer service and outstanding product. Best sod I have seen in 10 years of garden design & landscaping.”
“Excellent service, the grass arrived beautifully at my house. I made the purchase by phone and from Connecticut to Massachusetts I only paid $75 for the delivery of 1,200 square feet.”
“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.”
