Sod Installation in Old Westbury, NY

Old Westbury is the classic Long Island Gold Coast village, home to some of the largest estate parcels in Nassau County — long tree-lined private drives, sweeping open lawns, mature specimen trees planted generations ago, and formal grounds set well back from the road. The village straddles the North Shore moraine and the flatter land to the south, so the terrain rolls gently and the soil is Long Island outwash: sandy loam that drains fast and dries quickly, which is why in-ground irrigation is standard across the big lawns here. Mature canopy throws real afternoon shade near the houses and along the drives. A finished Old Westbury lawn depends on the right variety for fast-draining ground and the prep to hold moisture in, so what goes under the sod matters as much as the sod that goes down.

CT Sod has been delivering and installing sod across Nassau County for years, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, hauled out to Long Island, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift — down the long drives and around the specimen trees, not stranded at the road. Crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing but sod, not general landscaping. You can go install-only, with you or your landscaper handling the prep, or full-service where we handle the site work and the install in one scope. Either way you get the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market.

Here is what install day looks like in Old Westbury. Once the written quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded onto the truck for the run out to Long Island. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only your landscaper has that prep done. Either way the all-terrain forklift moves the pallets down the long tree-lined drive and around the specimen trees to set them near where the crew is laying — the only practical way onto an estate lot the truck can't reach across a sweeping lawn. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to beds and walks, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we pull out, we hand off the watering plan the sandy outwash soil needs, so the first soak goes down.
