Proof of Work
Recent job — Westport, CT
Westport, CT
This job is from Westport, CT. CT Sod serves Stonington with the same sod-specialist crews.
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.

Local Installation Planning
Stonington is Connecticut's southeastern corner, a coastal town that runs from the busy Mystic village on its western side to the historic Stonington Borough out on its point, with the shoreline of the Sound and Little Narragansett Bay wrapping the whole southern edge. The property mix is wide: tight historic lots and close-set streets in the Borough and old Mystic, seasonal and year-round homes along the salt-air coastal blocks, and larger wooded lots on the inland ground stretching north. Soils shift from sandy coastal outwash near the water to firmer glacial till inland, so a Stonington lawn hinges on two things — matching the grass to salt exposure and drainage, and getting fresh sod onto lots where access and parking can be tight.
CT Sod runs install crews across New London County, and Stonington's shoreline 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 crowded curb or a sandy road edge. The crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing else, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. On the open, salt-touched coastal lots we lean on tall fescue for the deep roots and salt tolerance a shoreline yard wants; the shaded historic blocks in the Borough and Mystic get a bluegrass-fescue mix. Go install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service if you'd rather we take the whole scope.
Here is what install day in Stonington 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 coast. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is done. Access is often the trick here — the historic Borough streets are narrow and parking is tight, and coastal lots can go soft where sandy ground meets the road. The all-terrain forklift sets pallets where the crew is laying rather than sinking at the edge, and in the Borough it clears the truck's spot in minutes. 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 double on Stonington's sandy, fast-draining coastal lots where the ground dries out quickly and a tired pallet simply won't take hold near the salt air.
The historic Stonington Borough streets are narrow with tight parking, and coastal lots can go soft where sandy ground meets the road. Our forklift sets pallets where the crew is laying rather than sinking at the edge, and in the Borough or old Mystic it clears the truck's spot in minutes so it never ties up a tight street.
Tall fescue for the open, sun-and-salt-exposed coastal lots, where deep roots handle the wind and fast-draining sandy ground; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded historic blocks in the Borough and Mystic under mature canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a sunny inland yard has steady water and wants the richest color.
From the Mystic village and the historic Stonington Borough on the point to the coastal blocks along the Sound and the wooded inland ground, we install across Stonington and the neighboring shoreline towns — planning for tight parking, sandy soft edges, and salt exposure 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 arrives with the farm-cut sod and lays it tight, clean, and square to the walks.
Every Stonington install is scoped per project — square footage, access on a narrow Borough street or a sandy coastal lot, prep needs, drainage, and salt exposure. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so a shoreline lawn comes together with no surprises.

“I could not be happier with my experience buying sod. CT Sod answered all the questions I had and was able to deliver my sod as soon as I needed it. I would definitely use them again. My lawn looks amazing!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“We recently finished a complete backyard remodel with pool & wanted to add sod. CT Sod was excellent to work with & we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! They are professional and prompt & they deliver a high quality product.”
“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!!”
