Recent job — Darien, CT
Darien, CT
This job is from Darien, CT. CT Sod serves Sprague with the same sod-specialist crews.
The landscape company completed preparation and hired CT Sod to supply and install the sod. For this first-time commercial customer, our combined price made more sense than handling the sod installation themselves.

Local Installation Planning
Sprague is a small town on the Shetucket River, best known for the Baltic mill village at its center — a tight cluster of older mill-era housing on the river with narrow lots and close-set streets. Step outside the village and the town turns to open farm fields ringed with stone walls and wooded lots on rolling ground, most on large parcels with wells rather than town water. The soil is glacial till across most of it: firm and stony in the uplands, richer and damper in the low field ground and along the river. That split personality — a compact riverside village on one hand, open farm country on the other — means a Sprague lawn depends on matching both the access approach and the grass to where you actually are in town.
CT Sod runs install crews across New London County, and Sprague is part of that footprint. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, trucked in the same day, and set exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at a curb or the head of a long drive. The crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing else, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. In the shaded Baltic village blocks we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open outlying field lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots on thin, stony till. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you'd rather we take the whole job.
Here is what install day in Sprague looks like. 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 to the Shetucket. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is done. The all-terrain forklift then does the hard part — moving pallets off the truck in minutes on a tighter Baltic village lot, or carrying them down a long field drive to where the crew is laying, so nothing gets dragged across a yard or left sitting at the road. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to walks and beds, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we go, you get a same-day watering handoff so the lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut at the farm the morning of installation and never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Sprague's thin, stony upland till and the compacted older ground in the Baltic village where a new lawn doesn't get much room for error.
The Baltic village blocks are tight with narrow drives, and the outlying homes sit back on long field drives. Either way our forklift sets pallets where the crew is laying — moving a load off the truck in minutes in the village, or carrying it down a long drive in the country, so nothing gets dragged across a yard or stranded at the road.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny field lots that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony till; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded Baltic village blocks under mature canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a sunny yard has steady water and wants the richest color. We match the grass to your light, soil, and water setup.
From the Baltic mill village on the Shetucket out to the open farm fields and wooded lots, we install across Sprague and the neighboring towns of Franklin, Lisbon, Norwich, and Bozrah — planning for the tight village access, the long field drives, and the well-water yards before the truck rolls out.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add topsoil, and lay the fresh sod as 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 lays it tight, clean, and square to the beds.
Every Sprague install is scoped per project — square footage, access in the village or down a field drive, prep needs, and drainage near the Shetucket. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so the job comes together with no surprises on install day.

Trumbull, CT
The front-yard installation for a builder who switched from seed to sod after working with CT Sod. We arranged a return to lay the extra pallet once he prepared a rear-yard area; the photos show the completed front lawn.
Westport, CT
An order mix-up left 8,000 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass mix with no home, so a Westport homeowner got full prep and installation compressed into a single Friday — buried rock and fill hauled off, screened topsoil in, and sod down by dark. The last small strip finishes with a fresh cutting the next week.

“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.”
“What a great experience from beginning to end! It was a pleasure doing business with CT Sod! One of the best businesses in Stamford. Sean was extremely helpful during every step of the process. So happy we went with them! Thank you CT Sod for the great quality product and for the smooth delivery. Highly recommend 👌 10/10 in our book!”
“CT sod was awesome to deal with. I was surprised how quickly I was able to schedule delivery after purchasing. They are very responsive on the phone.”
“Best sod company around. We've used them on about 5 of our Hamptons properties and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Sean and his employees are thorough, neat, and stick to their schedule. Top quality. High recommend.”
“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.”
“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.”
