Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod delivered and installed across Old Westbury's Gold Coast estate lots — some of the largest parcels on Long Island, behind long drives and under mature specimen trees — by crews who lay sod across Nassau County.
(203) 806-4086
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.
Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation — never pulled from a stockpile. Fresh sod roots faster and handles the sandy-loam transplant stress of the Long Island outwash that finishes a stockpiled pallet within a week of delivery, so it establishes reliably on Old Westbury's fast-draining estate ground.
We install across Old Westbury — the largest estate parcels in the area, behind long tree-lined drives, the sweeping open lawns, the mature specimen trees, and the formal grounds set well back from the road — and we plan for the gated entries, the long approaches, and the room a forklift needs before the truck rolls.
Estate lots here run so deep that a truck can't reach the lawn across the grounds, and the drives are long and tree-lined. Our forklifts move each pallet down the drive and around the specimen trees to set it where the crew is laying, so nothing is dragged across a sweeping lawn or a finished bluestone walk near the house.
On the open, sunny estate lawns with fast-draining sandy loam, tall fescue reaches deep for the drought tolerance that ground demands between waterings. Under the mature specimen-tree canopy near the houses and along the drives, a shade-tolerant bluegrass-fescue blend keeps the color up where straight bluegrass would thin in the afternoon shade.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod — one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the grading and prep, and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to the finished grade, coordinating with the crew already on the grounds.
Every install is scoped per project — square footage, estate-drive and gate access, prep needs, the sandy-soil variety call, and the install window. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before crews are scheduled, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience.

The finish of our Purchase pool-build story: 12,000 square feet of torn-up construction dirt regraded and laid wall to wall with fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass — from the street to the back tree line, flush with the brand-new patio stone.
Montauk, NY
Back with the same East End builder one door down from our June install — 4,500 sq ft of fresh-cut sod laid around the pool while the listing was already live with the lawn rendered in.
Water Mill, NY
A multi-acre tall fescue estate with a private vineyard — these clips came in from restaurateur Willie Degel (Restaurant Stakeout, Uncle Jack's Steakhouse) four years after we installed it, sent unprompted and shared with permission: still thick and green from the motor court out to the vineyard rows.

“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.”
“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.”
“We used CT sod it was an excellent experience very high-quality grass with fair pricing and excellent communication highly recommend them to anyone looking for sod any questions I had when installing it they walked me through it will be using them from now on any sod job I get.”
“CT Sod’s website was very helpful for pricing and installation advice. Purchase was easy. The sod was very healthy when it arrived, my son and I installed, and it looks great.”
“Very easy to work with. Responsive to my urgent needs (upcoming wedding reception at home). Competitive price. When their contracted scalper overscalped, CT Sod came in and filled with additional sod at no charge - no fuss at all. Came out great!”
“I recently decided to purchase sod for my home. After carefully research my options for a sod company I decided to go with CT Sod from Connecticut. I called and spoke with Sean and explained to him what I wanted. Sean was very knowledgeable and assisted with answering the many questions I had. After ordering my sod and having it delivered CT Sod was also amazing in assisting in installing the sod. I would 100% recommend CT Sod, they are very knowledgeable and professional and were willing to meet my needs. They are definitely a five star company.”
