Naugatuck — the Borough — sits in the Naugatuck Valley between Waterbury and Beacon Falls, and its housing runs from tight in-borough parcels through the historic Church Street downtown to multi-acre estate properties on the back roads. The industrial-era stock through downtown and the Union City section sits under mature canopy with heavy afternoon shade, while the Pond Hill and Hop Brook residential corridors run longer driveways lined with stone walls and the upland lots open up into full sun. Soils sit on glacial-till loam in the valley with rockier upland ground on the Pond Hill and Hop Brook grades.
CT Sod is based in nearby Milford, a short run down the valley from Naugatuck. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, placed exactly where the crew needs them by all-terrain forklift, and laid by a team that installs sod nearly every day across New Haven County — backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. On the open Pond Hill and Hop Brook lots that take full sun and a dry summer we lead with RTF or a tall fescue blend for the deep roots; the shaded downtown and Union City blocks get a bluegrass-fescue blend for color and traffic durability on the older industrial-era lots.
