Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across North Smithfield — the village of Slatersville, the wooded and rolling northern-tier lots, and the newer subdivisions where a lawn balances open sun against stony upland till.

North Smithfield sits in Rhode Island's northern tier near the Massachusetts line, and it strikes a balance between the town's old mill-village roots and its wooded, semi-rural spread. Slatersville, one of the country's early planned mill villages, anchors the older part of town with tight, mature streets and smaller lots, while the rest of North Smithfield rolls out across wooded acreage, horse pasture, and newer subdivisions along Route 5 and Route 146A. The ground is glacial till — stony, on the acidic side, and slow to warm — with ledge on the higher rises and damp hollows in the low spots. Mature canopy shades a lot of the older lots, and homes on the rural fringe often draw from private wells, so both the sod variety and the watering plan have to fit the ground.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across North Smithfield and the northern tier, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, and an all-terrain forklift sets it where the crew is working — off a tight village drive or down a long wooded drive — instead of leaving it at the curb. The crew that lays it works on sod nearly every day, not general landscaping, and brings the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. On the shaded lots we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open, sunny lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots that hold up through a dry stretch.
Here is how install day runs in North Smithfield. Once the quote is approved and the date set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the run out. On full-service the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil so the roots meet something better than raw upland till; on install-only, your prep is already done. The forklift then moves pallets off the truck and through the tight village access or down the wooded drive to the crew, keeping sod off finished walks and clear of the damp low ground. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to beds, walks, and stone walls, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff sized to your lot — and built around a well where there is one.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never pulled from a stockpile. Fresh sod knits down faster and rides out transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on North Smithfield's stony, acidic upland till where slow-draining ground is unforgiving of sod that has already dried out.
The Slatersville village blocks have narrow drives and cars close to the curb, while the rural lots sit at the end of long drives. The all-terrain forklift moves pallets off the truck and out to the crew either way, so sod never sits stranded at the road, dropped in a damp hollow, or dragged across a lawn you are trying to finish.
We install across all of North Smithfield — the historic mill-village streets in Slatersville, the newer subdivisions along Route 5 and Route 146A, and the wooded acreage and pasture out on the rural northern tier near the Massachusetts line. Tight village lots and roomy rural lots alike get the same fresh-cut product and finish.
Full-service means the crew strips the old turf, grades, works in topsoil, and lays the fresh sod, one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and grading, and our crew arrives with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to your edges, beds, and fieldstone walls.
Every North Smithfield install is scoped per project — square footage, drive length and access, tree cover, well capacity where there is one, and how much prep the upland till needs before sod. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so the scope is clear before install day.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, and we bring installation to North Smithfield with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That focus keeps seams tight, edges clean, and the sod still cool and rooted when it comes off the truck onto a village or a rural upland lot.

“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.”
“I recently had my lawn done by CT SOD, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From the initial prep work to the final installation, everything was completed in just one day, and the results exceeded my expectations. The lawn looks absolutely beautiful, and it's clear the team takes pride in the quality of their work. They were professional, efficient, and left everything clean when they finished. If you're looking for a company that delivers excellent results and great service, I highly recommend CT SOD. Thank you for an outstanding job!”
“I recently dealt with Sean and Kayla to set up a sod installation around a new pool - couldn’t be happier with the process, price, and results. Highly recommend CT Sod - you won’t be disappointed with this company. I snapped this while the guys were working. In 4 hours they almost had the whole 5,000 square feet of fresh Kentucky Bluegrass installed. Results speak for themselves.”
“Shawn at CT Sod was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and kept the cost within my budget. Great service and easy to work with — highly recommend!”
“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.”
