Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Putnam — the denser in-town streets around the antiques district and the Quinebaug River, and the rural, well-fed properties on the uplands beyond. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Putnam is the hub of the northeastern Quiet Corner, built where the Quinebaug River drove a mill economy and later a well-known antiques district downtown. That history shows up in the lawns: near the river and the downtown blocks the lots are tighter, older, and closer together, with narrow drives and mature street canopy, while the roads climbing out of the valley open into rural properties on glacial-till uplands — larger lots, stone walls, long gravel drives, and homes on private wells. Soils range from richer river-valley loam in the low ground to thin, stony till up on the higher lots, so what goes under the sod, and how the finished lawn gets watered, matters as much as the sod itself.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Putnam and the surrounding Quiet Corner, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, placed exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at the curb or the end of a long drive, and set the same day by crews whose only job is sod, not general landscaping. On the shaded in-town lots we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open upland lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots on fast-draining ground. Take install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service for the whole scope in one hand.
Install day in Putnam runs on one clean sequence. You book, and the morning of your date your sod is cut fresh at the farm and loaded for the run up to the Quinebaug corridor. The all-terrain forklift handles the hard part — moving a load off the truck on a tight downtown street without tying up the block, or carrying pallets down a long gravel drive to a rural upland yard. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to walks, beds, and older narrow drives, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave, you get a watering handoff built around your property — town water in the valley, or a well up on the uplands — so the new lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress better than a tired pallet, which matters on Putnam's higher, stony upland lots where the topsoil layer runs thin over glacial till and dries out fast once summer heat sets in.
Downtown Putnam near the antiques district and the river has narrow, parking-tight streets, while the rural roads out of the valley run long gravel drives. Our forklift moves a load off the truck curbside in minutes or carries pallets straight back to a set-back yard, so sod never sits baking at the road while the crew works.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny upland lots that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony soil; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded in-town yards under mature street canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun property wants the richest color. We match the variety to your ground and exposure before we quote.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add clean topsoil, and lay the fresh sod in one scope with a single point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer install-only? You or your landscaper handle the prep and our crew shows up with the farm-cut sod and sets it tight to your grade, walks, and edges.
Every Putnam install is scoped per property — square footage, downtown or gravel-drive access, prep needs, and whether the lawn is on town water or a well. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises when the truck rolls up.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who lay a little turf on the side. Delivery and installation across Putnam and the Quiet Corner comes with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run everywhere — residential lawns, commercial sites downtown, and contractor wholesale, all handled by the same crew to the same standard.

A few recent jobs our crews delivered across Connecticut — tap any photo to see the full project.
New Canaan, CT
Our first commercial job story: a schedule mixup left no installers on the day the sod arrived — and the property had a party that same afternoon. Our crew laid 4,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass in steady rain, at no extra charge, and the lawn was ready before the guests.
Fairfield, CT
The finish of our Fairfield pool-rebuild story: gravel and hardened concrete slurry out, screened topsoil and irrigation in, and 2,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass wrapping the new pool and stone patio.
Milford, CT
The finish of our Milford patio-damage story: dead machine routes stripped and regraded in the morning, 1,500 sq ft of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass laid the same afternoon — sprinklers running before the trailer left the curb.
