Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed throughout Ridgewood — the walkable blocks near the village and rail station, the deep tree-lined residential streets, and the larger properties on the west side. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

This job was completed by the same CT Sod crews that serve Ridgewood.
Not every job is a full-property renovation — a smaller install along a curved stone walkway on a sloped lawn, with 4 yards of screened topsoil down before the fresh sod went over it.
How It Works

Ridgewood follows New Jersey's statewide fertilizer calendar, and its water utility sets the watering schedule; see the fertilizer law and water restrictions for Ridgewood.
Local Installation Planning
Ridgewood is one of central Bergen's classic commuter villages, a leafy grid of older homes that spreads out from a busy downtown and its rail station. The character changes block by block: near the center the lots are tighter and the streets run under a dense canopy of mature oaks, maples, and sycamores that have shaded these yards for generations, while the deeper residential streets and the larger west-side properties open into more sun and more room. The whole town sits on Bergen County glacial till, which drains slowly, compacts under foot traffic, and holds a spring lawn damp long after the sun is out — so the grading and the soil under a Ridgewood lawn do as much work as the sod on top.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across northern New Jersey with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Your pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never pulled from a stockpile, then carried to where the crew is laying by all-terrain forklift rather than left at the curb, and installed the same day by a crew whose only job is sod. Book install-only if your prep is already handled, or full-service if you want old-turf removal, grading, and topsoil rolled into a single scope. On the heavily shaded blocks we lead with a bluegrass-fescue blend that holds color under canopy; the sunnier lots get tall fescue for the deep roots that carry a lawn through a dry summer.
Here is how install day runs in Ridgewood. After the quote is approved and the date is set, the sod is harvested fresh that morning and loaded for the drive north. On full-service work the crew strips the old lawn, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is done before we arrive. Because parking near the village center gets tight and many of the older streets are narrow, the all-terrain forklift is the difference-maker — it pulls pallets off the truck fast and places them exactly where the crew is working, so nothing ties up the street or gets dragged over a finished walk or driveway. The crew then sets tight seams, cuts the sod clean around beds and mature tree wells, and rolls it the same day it was cut. Before we go you get a watering handoff so the first soak goes down and the lawn starts to root immediately.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots in faster and handles transplant stress far better than a pallet that has been sitting, which matters in Ridgewood where mature canopy and slow-draining glacial till already make it harder for a new lawn to establish.
Downtown-adjacent parking runs short and many older Ridgewood streets are narrow, so we never strand sod at the curb. The all-terrain forklift lifts pallets off the truck quickly and sets them where the crew is laying, so a load doesn't tie up the block or get dragged across a bluestone walk or a finished driveway.
The dense street-tree canopy near the village throws heavy shade, so we lead there with a bluegrass-fescue blend that keeps color where straight bluegrass thins. On the sunnier west-side properties and deeper open lots, tall fescue delivers the deep roots to ride out a dry Bergen summer on ground that compacts and drains slowly.
Full-service means our crew strips the old turf, grades, adds topsoil, and lays the fresh sod under one scope — one point of contact from quote through completion. Prefer to handle your own prep? Choose install-only: you or your landscaper strip and grade, and our sod crew arrives with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight to your edges.
Every Ridgewood install is scoped per project — square footage, village access and staging, prep needs, drainage on the heavy till, and how much of the lawn sits under canopy. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so nothing is left to guess on install day.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, delivering and installing across northern New Jersey with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That focus shows in tight seams, clean edges, and a lawn that reads even from the curb, whether it is a tight village front yard or a big west-side property.

Verified customer reviews

“I’ve had sod deliveries from CT Sod to properties I have in both Greenwich and Milford. Each sod delivery has been high quality bluegrass sod, and both my neighbors and landscaper admired the quality. Kayla in the office even texts you the exact time it will come the night before. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service and product I received from CT Sod. You will not be disappointed with this sod company.”
“These guys are the real deal. Great price for great quality and most of all great service. Definitely recommend them.”
“Excellent service, great product. Delivery was delayed 1 day because of weather. I was contacted immediately of the change, and given multiple delivery times for my convenience. Great company fair prices, and excellent communication.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
