Richmond is a rural inland town in the middle of South County, a spread of woods, farmland, and large house lots along the Wood River and the country roads that thread through it. Most lawns here are big, open where the land has been cleared and then hemmed in by oak and pine at the tree line, so a lot can carry full sun out front and heavy shade at the edges. The ground mixes sandy coastal-plain outwash that drains fast with rockier glacial till further from the river, and nearly every property runs on a private well. A new lawn in Richmond has to root deep enough to hold up through a dry summer on well water, and handle the thin sun where the canopy closes in.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across South County and the rest of Rhode Island with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install rather than pulled from a stockpile, set where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift, and rolled out the same day by a crew whose only job is sod, not general landscaping. On Richmond's open, sandy lots we lead with tall fescue or RTF for the deep roots a dry, well-fed yard needs; the shaded strips along the tree lines get a tall fescue blend that holds up where the sun is thin. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service for the whole scope in one hand.
Here is what install day looks like in Richmond. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that morning and loaded for the run out to the country. On a big rural lot with a long drive, the all-terrain forklift carries pallets across the yard, past soft spots and beds, and sets them where the crew is laying rather than stranding them at the road. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it in tight to walks and edges, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we leave you get a watering handoff built around your well and your soil, so the first soak goes down without drawing the system down, and 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 rides out transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Richmond's open, sandy outwash lots where the ground drains fast and a stressed pallet can dry out before it ever knits into the soil beneath it.
Richmond lots are large and wooded, often with a long drive and soft, uneven ground between the road and the lawn. Our all-terrain forklift carries pallets across the yard and sets them where the crew is laying rather than leaving them at the road, so nothing gets double-handled or dragged across a finished drive while the crew waits on material.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny lots on sandy outwash that have to ride out a dry summer on a well, where deep roots reach down for moisture; a tall fescue blend for the shaded strips along the oak and pine tree lines where straight bluegrass thins; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun yard wants the richest color and knit.
Choose install-only if you or your landscaper strip the old turf, add topsoil, and grade and roll the area, and we arrive with the farm-cut sod and lay it tight. Or go full-service and we handle removal, topsoil, grading, and rolling before the sod goes down, running the whole scope under one point of contact from quote through completion.
Every Richmond install is scoped per project, from a cleared front lawn in full sun to a shaded lot with drainage and a well to work around. You get a written quote that spells out square footage, access, prep, and variety before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises once the truck rolls up the drive.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, delivering and installing across South County with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That is 30 years of sod industry experience behind every residential, commercial, and contractor job, with the same crew and the same standards each time out.

A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“Sean and his team were friendly, professional, eager to please, and an overall joy to work with. By far the best deal in town without sacrificing quality; They did a beautiful job! I will be using them again for our front yard in the spring. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Amazing prices! The process was extremely stress-free from ordering online to delivery. Communication was fabulous with the company and the grass is amazing. We do not have an irrigation system and maintained the grass by simply hosing twice a day for 15 minutes. I highly recommend this company.”
“Sean was great to work with. We set my sod install up in just a matter of days and his guys are fast and efficient and explain to me how to take care of My new sod. I would definitely recommend.”
“Placing an order online was easy, they answered a follow up email quickly and texted the day before our schedule delivery date to give me a window for the delivery. The delivery was made on time, and so far the sod is looking good.”
“ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Product was delivered on-time and as fresh as it gets. We installed sod about 2 years ago. With regular watering and fertilizing it looks very good. Highly recommend this company!”
“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.”
