Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation

Sterling sits at the far eastern edge of Windham County, right up against the Rhode Island line, and it is about as rural as the Quiet Corner gets — heavily wooded, thinly settled, with homes strung along winding two-lane roads and small village clusters rather than any real downtown. Lots run large and private, often carved out of woodland with long gravel drives, stone walls, and yards that open into clearings between the trees. The ground is glacial till: pockets of loam in the low spots, thin and stony where the land rolls up, and a lot of it sits in the shade of a mature tree canopy. Nearly every property runs on a private well, so watering a new lawn is a planning question, and the deep woods mean heavy deer traffic and a spring green-up that lags the coast.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Sterling and the surrounding Quiet Corner, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation, never stockpiled, and carried to where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift rather than left at the road — the only sensible approach when a yard sits a long way back down a wooded drive. The crews are sod specialists, not general landscapers, and they set sod nearly every day. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you want the strip, grading, topsoil, and install handled in one scope.
Here is what install day looks like in Sterling. 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 state line. The all-terrain forklift does the heavy lifting — carrying pallets down a long, wooded gravel drive to a clearing yard, or threading them into a tight spot between the trees without stranding sod at the road. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight to walks, beds, and stone walls, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we go, you get a watering handoff built around a well and Sterling's mix of sun and heavy shade, so the new lawn starts knitting in right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never pulled from a stockpile. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress better than a tired pallet, which matters on Sterling's stony ground and shaded, wooded lots where a new lawn needs every advantage to establish before the summer dry stretch sets in.
Sterling homes sit well back off winding roads at the end of long gravel drives carved through woodland, and there is no curbside option. Our forklift carries each pallet straight back to the clearing where the crew is working and threads it into tight spots between the trees, so sod never sits baking at the road while the crew works.
A bluegrass-fescue blend for the many shaded, wooded yards under mature canopy where straight bluegrass thins; tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny clearings that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony soil; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun yard wants the richest color. We match the sod to your light and your ground before we quote.
Full-service means we strip the old turf, grade, add clean topsoil, and lay the fresh sod in 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 sets it tight to your grade, walks, and stone-wall edges.
Every Sterling install is scoped per property — square footage, how a truck reaches a wooded, set-back yard, prep needs, and how a well-fed lawn will get watered. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises when the truck arrives at the drive.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who lay a little turf on the side. Delivery and installation across Sterling and the Quiet Corner comes with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run everywhere — residential lawns, rural properties, and contractor wholesale, all handled by the same crew to the same standard.

New Canaan, CT
Our first commercial job story: a schedule mixup left no installers on the day the sod arrived — and the property had a party that same afternoon. Our crew laid 4,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass in steady rain, at no extra charge, and the lawn was ready before the guests.
Fairfield, CT
The finish of our Fairfield pool-rebuild story: gravel and hardened concrete slurry out, screened topsoil and irrigation in, and 2,500 square feet of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass wrapping the new pool and stone patio.
Milford, CT
The finish of our Milford patio-damage story: dead machine routes stripped and regraded in the morning, 1,500 sq ft of fresh-cut Kentucky bluegrass laid the same afternoon — sprinklers running before the trailer left the curb.

“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.”
“Seamless transaction. Grass was actually delivered as exactly stated. Not one complaint I would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend CT Sod. Sean was a pleasure to work with and the quality is top notch. Weather had delayed the delivery for a few days, so Sean and his crew installed the sod free of charge for the inconvenience. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I will be using CT Sod for all of my sod in the future.”
“Sean and his team have done an excellent job taking care of my Sod needs in a timely fashion! Communication and customer service is excellent!!”
“We had a great experience with CT Sod. After our pool installation, our yard needed significant cleanup and restoration. Their team did an excellent job prepping the area with quality topsoil and installing the new sod. They were professional, friendly, and especially careful working around our brand-new pool and patio. Communication was easy throughout the process via text, and they took the time to recommend the right type of sod specifically for the conditions in our yard. The finished lawn exceeded our expectations and looks fantastic. They also provided great value—we were able to use the extra topsoil and sod to improve other areas of our property. Overall, very happy with the quality of the work and the entire experience with CT Sod.”
