Sherman is the smallest town in Fairfield County, tucked at the northern tip of Candlewood Lake between New Fairfield and New Milford — the historic Sherman Center along Route 39, the Candlewood Lake northern shoreline, the Atchison Cove area, the Naromi Land Trust corridor, and multi-acre wooded estate properties out toward the New Milford, Kent, and New York lines. Large-lot estate zoning and weekender properties dominate, with the lake views, the rolling Litchfield-County-edge terrain, and the small-village character setting the landscape standard. Soils sit on glacial-till loam in the valleys and rockier upland ground on the hill grades.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Sherman and the western Fairfield County hills, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Sherman's estate lots tend to sit well back from the road on long gravel drives that climb as they go — a standard truck runs out of usable road before it reaches the work site. Our all-terrain forklift handles the grade and sets pallets right where the crew is set up. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of your install, and our crews lay sod nearly every day across Fairfield County, so a lakefront lot or a Naromi-corridor estate finishes clean.
Here is how install day plays out in Sherman. Once your quote is signed and the date is booked, your sod is cut fresh at the farm that same morning and loaded straight onto the truck. Because so many Sherman estate lots sit well back on long gravel drives that climb as they go, the truck stops where the road runs out and the all-terrain forklift takes each pallet the rest of the way up the grade, setting it right where the crew is set up. From there the specialist crew works roll by roll, holding tight seams and clean grading transitions so a Candlewood front lawn or a Naromi-corridor estate reads finished the way the small-village and lakefront standard expects. Before we pull out, we hand off the same-day watering plan so the sod starts rooting into that upland till right away.
