Sod Varieties for New London County Installs
New London County is southeastern Connecticut — the maritime coast around Mystic and Stonington plus the rolling Thames River valley and rural farm country inland. We lead with deep-rooted, adaptable turf:
Black Beauty Tall Fescue
Deep-RootedDeep roots (2–3 ft), drought tolerance, refined look. Strong choice for partial-shade or lower-maintenance sites.
Our top pick across the southeast — deep roots handle the rocky, varied inland soil, hold sloped lots, and tolerate the salt air along the Mystic and Stonington coast better than bluegrass.
Tall Fescue guide →Bluegrass-Fescue Blends
Most VersatileBluegrass aesthetics with fescue durability underneath. The default install for most residential sites.
A balanced default for open inland lots around Colchester and Norwich — bluegrass color with fescue durability.
Best sod for Connecticut →Kentucky Bluegrass
The ClassicRich color, tight knit-in. The traditional install for New London County properties with established irrigation.
For open, sunny, irrigated lawns set back from the coast; the classic dense look, with the most watering of the four.
Kentucky Bluegrass guide →RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)
Best for Dogs & KidsSelf-repairing rhizome system fills in damage from foot traffic and dog use. Strongest performer for active family lawns.
Best for active family yards and busy shore-house lawns; self-repairing rhizomes recover from heavy seasonal traffic.
RTF complete guide →Why Use Our Install Crews
Fresh-Cut, Not Inventory
Sod is cut against your install date — typically the day before — and laid the next day. No pallets baking in a yard for a week before they hit your lawn.
Crews That Only Do Sod
Our crews work full-time on sod jobs. Faster, tighter seams, and consistent grade than a landscape generalist crew.
Variety Guidance
We match the variety to your site, sun exposure, and use case. No upsell scripts.
2–7 days Lead
Predictable scheduling on New London County install jobs. Call early in the season for May–June dates.
Sod in New London County: Mystic Coast & the Thames Valley
New London County is Connecticut's southeastern corner — the maritime towns of Mystic, Stonington, Groton, and Waterford on Long Island Sound and the Thames River, and the rolling rural interior toward Colchester, Lebanon, Bozrah, and Griswold. The coast is mild (roughly USDA zone 7a) and catches salt air, while the inland hills run a little cooler over rocky glacial soil. Across both, we lead with deep-rooted, adaptable tall fescue and blends — they handle the varied inland soil, hold sloped lots, and tolerate coastal salt better than bluegrass — laid over a fresh topsoil base.
Shore-house lawns near Mystic and Stonington see heavy summer use, so we plan installs around the season and match the variety to each lawn's sun and soil. New sod needs deep, consistent early watering. See our Connecticut sod guide, and the Connecticut sod delivery page for full coverage.

5-Star Reviews from CT Sod Customers
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“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!”
“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.”
“Sean was great to work with. We set my sod install up in just a matter of days and his guys are fast and efficient and explain to me how to take care of My new sod. I would definitely recommend.”
“CT sod was awesome to deal with. I was surprised how quickly I was able to schedule delivery after purchasing. They are very responsive on the phone.”
“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”
