The Northern Valley is Bergen's leafy Palisades belt — Tenafly, Demarest, Cresskill, Closter, and Englewood Cliffs, full of mature shade trees on irrigated lots. With all that tree cover, our balanced default leads:
Bluegrass aesthetics with fescue durability underneath. The default install for most residential sites.
Our all-around pick for the Northern Valley's irrigated lots that mix sun and mature shade — bluegrass color with fescue durability.
Best sod for Northern NJ →Deep roots (2–3 ft), drought tolerance, refined look. Strong choice for partial-shade or lower-maintenance sites.
Best for the heavily shaded yards under the valley's mature trees — deep roots with the strongest shade tolerance of the four.
Tall Fescue guide →Rich color, tight knit-in. The traditional install for Northern Valley properties with established irrigation.
For the open, sunny, irrigated front lawns away from the canopy; the classic dense look, with the most watering of the four.
Kentucky Bluegrass guide →Self-repairing rhizome system fills in damage from foot traffic and dog use. Strongest performer for active family lawns.
Best for active family yards with kids and dogs; self-repairing rhizomes recover from heavy traffic.
RTF complete guide →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.
Our crews work full-time on sod jobs. Faster, tighter seams, and consistent grade than a landscape generalist crew.
We match the variety to your site, sun exposure, and use case. No upsell scripts.
Predictable scheduling on Northern Valley install jobs. Call early in the season for May–June dates.
The Northern Valley is the string of leafy, established boroughs along the Palisades — Tenafly, Demarest, Cresskill, Closter, Old Tappan, Englewood Cliffs, and Park Ridge. These are affluent, irrigated lots (USDA zone 6b–7a) on heavy Piedmont clay, defined above all by their mature shade trees. Because so many yards sit under a tree canopy, our balanced bluegrass-fescue blend and deep-rooted, shade-tolerant fescue carry most lawns, with Kentucky bluegrass reserved for the open, sunny front lawns.
We match the variety to each lot's shade and soil, break up the clay, and lay sod over a fresh topsoil base. New sod needs deep, consistent early watering. See our Northern New Jersey estate sod guide, and the New Jersey sod delivery page for full coverage.

“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.”
