Oxford sits west of Seymour in the hills of southwestern New Haven County, on the edge of the Housatonic Valley — the historic Oxford Center along Route 67, the Quaker Farms section with its active equestrian properties, the Riverside corridor along the Housatonic River, the Oxford Airport area, and multi-acre wooded estate and farm-residential lots throughout. The terrain is rolling hills and long driveway approaches; deer pressure runs hard on the wooded edges, and soils sit on glacial-till loam in the valleys and rockier upland ground on the hill grades. Distance from the road is the rule here, not the exception.
CT Sod is based in Milford, a short run down the valley from Oxford. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, placed exactly where the crew needs them by all-terrain forklift, and laid by a team that lays sod nearly every day across New Haven County and the Housatonic Valley — backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. On the open Quaker Farms lots and unirrigated back-road frontages we lead with Tall Fescue and RTF for the deep roots and deer resilience; the wooded shaded estate parcels take a bluegrass-fescue blend, and the sunny irrigated frontages take Kentucky bluegrass for color.
