Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Montville — the Uncasville section along the Thames near Mohegan Sun, the older mill blocks, and the wooded upland lots off Route 32 and Route 163.
(203) 806-4086
Montville strings out along the west bank of the Thames River, and its lawns split between two very different worlds. Down in the Uncasville section near Mohegan Sun and along Route 32 you find the older mill-and-river housing — tighter parcels, mature street trees, and grade that drops toward the water. Push west and north into Oakdale, Chesterfield, and the upland stretches off Route 163 and Route 85 and the ground opens up: bigger wooded lots, stone walls left over from farm days, well water instead of town lines, and soil that turns to glacial till the moment you dig. That mix means a Montville lawn is only as good as what goes under it, because stony upland till and the damper river-corridor ground want different prep.
CT Sod runs install crews across New London County, and Montville sits squarely in that footprint. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, trucked out the same day, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at the road. The crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing else, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. On the shaded older river blocks we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open upland lots off Route 163 and Route 85 get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony soil. You can go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service turnkey.
Here is what install day in Montville looks like. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the run east to the Thames corridor. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is already done. The all-terrain forklift then earns its keep — carrying pallets up the wooded upland drives where a truck can't turn, or setting a load down on a tighter Uncasville lot without dragging sod past a stone wall. 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 leave you get a same-day watering handoff so the new lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation and never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Montville's stony upland till off Route 163 and Route 85 where the topsoil layer runs thin and dries out in a hurry.
Many Montville drives climb into the woods off Route 32 and Route 163 where a delivery truck simply can't turn or reach the yard. Our forklift carries each pallet up the grade and sets it where the crew is laying, so nothing gets stranded at the road or dragged across a finished driveway.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny upland lots that have to survive a dry stretch on thin, stony soil; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded older river blocks in the Uncasville section under mature canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a sunny yard wants the richest color and gets steady water.
From the Uncasville section and Oakdale down along the Thames to the Chesterfield uplands, we install across Montville and the surrounding New London County towns — planning for the river-corridor grades, the wooded upland access, and the well-water yards before the truck ever rolls out.
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 completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight and clean.
Every Montville install is scoped per project — square footage, access up the wooded drives, prep needs, and drainage on the river-corridor lots. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises on install day.

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.
