“If you are looking for sod in the New England area this is the place to go. My son and his family recently moved to Claremont NH and needed sod. Due to his busy schedule and being new to the area and not being able to find a local installer I planned a trip from NC to install it for him. The ordering process was easy and I believe Kayla was helpful on the phone explaining different grass options and what would work best for the area. She scheduled the sod delivery about a month out for me which allowed me to time plan my short weekend trip. On delivery day things did not go as planned due to situations beyond CT Sod’s control. I was updated by Sean throughout the day regarding the issues and his plans to make it happen. Unfortunately it did not. Sean promised to make it right and realized I had a made a special trip up for the install. I did not get to install sod that weekend but Sean and CT Sod went above and beyond to make the issue right. Sod was delivered and installed a few days after I arrived home and the quality and customer service was above and beyond. The sod looked so good people who were driving by have been inquiring to my son about where it was from and commenting how great it looks. Shout out to CT Sod for making a bad situation into a great one. As a general contractor in NC I wish we had vendors like these folks who do the right thing without being asked!!!”

Warren, RI
2,600 sq ft full prep & install — finished front and back
This job is from Warren, RI. CT Sod serves Richmond with the same sod-specialist crews.
A Connecticut landscaper CT Sod supplies hired our crew for the full prep and install at his Warren job rather than send his own crew nearly three hours out — the first Rhode Island project documented on the site. Old lawn stripped, finish grade set, and fresh-cut sod rolled in tight to the paths and beds, front and back.

What to Know About Installing Sod in Richmond
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.
Why Property Owners in Richmond Choose CT Sod
Farm-Cut, Same-Day Sod
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.
All-Terrain Forklift on Big Rural Lots
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.
Varieties Matched to Richmond Conditions
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.
Prep Included If You Want It
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.
Written Quote Before Work Starts
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.

Verified customer reviews
5-Star Reviews from CT Sod Customers
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”
“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!”
“These guys are the real deal. Great price for great quality and most of all great service. Definitely recommend them.”

I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend your services to anyone in need. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. I reached out and they were able to not only give me accurate support in terms of measurements but told me exactly how to prep everything so I was completely ready for the delivery and installation. Pricing was competitive and good, and communication was even better. Greatly appreciative to the entire team who did an outstanding job.”
