Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across New Milford — the valley floor along the Housatonic River, the long gravel drives up on the hills, and the older lots around the town green. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

New Milford is the largest town by area in Connecticut, and its lawns cover more ground than most towns twice its size. The Housatonic River runs the length of it, so the valley floor carries deeper river-valley loam and gentler grades, while the land climbs quickly on both sides into the Litchfield Hills — glacial till over ledge, stone walls threading the property lines, and long gravel drives running back to houses set well off the road. Around the town green the parcels are older and tighter with mature canopy overhead; out toward Gaylordsville and the surrounding hill sections the lots open up into working-farm acreage and second-home properties. That range means the soil under a New Milford lawn is never one thing, so what goes below the sod matters as much as the grass on top.
CT Sod runs install crews across Litchfield County and the Housatonic valley, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Your pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled off a stockpile, trucked up Route 7 into New Milford, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift — carried back a long gravel drive or up a hill grade instead of stranded at the road. The crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing else, so seams stay tight and edges read clean. Choose install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want removal, grading, and topsoil folded into one scope.
Here is what install day looks like in New Milford. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh that morning and loaded for the run north. 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. Because so many properties here sit up a slope or back a long gravel drive, the all-terrain forklift does the heavy carrying — walking pallets to the work area on the higher hill lots where a delivery truck would never reach the yard. From there a sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it in tight to walks and beds, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff so the new lawn starts rooting right away, which matters on the drier upland ground where the topsoil layer runs thin.
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, which counts on New Milford's thin upland ground above the valley where the topsoil layer is shallow and the summer sun dries a new lawn out quickly.
So many New Milford properties sit back a long gravel drive or up a hill above the road that a curbside drop rarely works. Our forklift carries each pallet to where the crew is laying — up the grade or back to the yard — so sod never sits baking at the end of the driveway waiting to be hauled by hand.
We run crews across New Milford and the towns around it — down the Housatonic valley along Route 7, up into the hill sections, and out toward Gaylordsville and the working-farm acreage on the edges of town. Tell us where the property sits and how the truck reaches the yard when you call.
Open, sunny hill lots on thin glacial till get a tall fescue blend or RTF for deep roots that ride out a dry upland summer; the shaded older parcels near the green under mature canopy do better with a bluegrass-fescue mix; and a full-sun valley yard that wants the richest color can take Kentucky bluegrass.
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. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew arrives with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight — either way the work is written down before we schedule.
Every New Milford install is scoped to the property — square footage, how the truck reaches the yard, prep needs, and the soil difference between the valley floor and the hill lots. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is put on the schedule.

A few recent jobs our crews delivered across Connecticut — tap any photo to see the full project.
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.

“Excellent company to deal with. They answered all my questions, the prices are good and the delivery was excellent and on time. Kayla was very helpful and awesome with updates.”
“I’ve had sod deliveries from CT Sod to properties I have in both Greenwich and Milford. Each sod delivery has been high quality bluegrass sod, and both my neighbors and landscaper admired the quality. Kayla in the office even texts you the exact time it will come the night before. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service and product I received from CT Sod. You will not be disappointed with this sod company.”
“I redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.”
“I recently ordered sod from CT Sod and had a great experience overall. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and the delivery arrived promptly the following Monday, right on time. The quality of the sod appears to be excellent — it’s been two weeks since installation, and it’s looking lush and healthy. I appreciate the timely delivery and the high quality of the product. I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.”
“Highly recommend CT Sod. Sean was a pleasure to work with and the quality is top notch. Weather had delayed the delivery for a few days, so Sean and his crew installed the sod free of charge for the inconvenience. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I will be using CT Sod for all of my sod in the future.”
“Best sod company around. We've used them on about 5 of our Hamptons properties and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Sean and his employees are thorough, neat, and stick to their schedule. Top quality. High recommend.”
