Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Thompson — the hilltop village green, the old mill-village lots down along the Quinebaug, and the rural, well-fed properties spread across the uplands. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

Thompson sits in the far northeastern corner of Connecticut, where Windham County meets both the Massachusetts and Rhode Island lines, and its character is split between an old hilltop village around the green and the mill villages that grew up along the Quinebaug and French rivers below. Up on the ridge the lots are settled and open with long stone-walled frontages; down in the valleys the mill-village blocks are tighter and older with narrow drives; and the roads between run out into rural uplands with large lots, gravel drives, and homes on private wells. The soil is glacial till throughout — loam in the low, watered pockets, thin and stony where the land climbs — so root depth and a smart watering plan carry a new lawn through the summer.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across Thompson and the rest of the Quiet Corner, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. Pallets are cut to order at the farm the morning of installation rather than pulled from a stockpile, placed exactly where the crew is working by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at a curb or the end of a long drive, and set the same day by crews whose only job is sod, not general landscaping. On the shaded valley lots we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix; the open hilltop and upland lots get tall fescue or RTF for deep roots on fast-draining ground. Choose install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service for the whole scope in one hand.
Here is what install day looks like in Thompson. 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 up to the northeast corner. The all-terrain forklift handles the hard part — carrying pallets down a long gravel drive to a rural upland yard, or moving a load off the truck on a tight mill-village street without tying up the block. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it in 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 your property — a well on the uplands, the fast-draining hilltop ground, or a shadier valley lot — so the new lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots faster and handles transplant stress better than a tired pallet, which matters on Thompson's open hilltop and upland lots where the soil is thin and stony over glacial till and dries out fast once the summer heat sets in.
Thompson runs from open hilltop lots at the end of long gravel drives to tight, parking-scarce mill-village streets down along the rivers. Our forklift carries pallets straight back to a set-back yard or moves a load off the truck curbside in minutes, so sod never sits baking at the road while the crew works, wherever your property sits.
Tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny hilltop and upland lots that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony soil; a bluegrass-fescue blend for the shaded valley and mill-village yards under mature canopy; and Kentucky bluegrass where a full-sun property wants the richest color. We match the variety to your ground and exposure 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 frontages.
Every Thompson install is scoped per property — square footage, hilltop, mill-village, or gravel-drive access, prep needs, and whether the lawn is on a well or town water. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so you know the plan and the scope before install day.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers who lay a little turf on the side. Delivery and installation across Thompson and the Quiet Corner comes with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run everywhere — residential lawns, commercial sites, and contractor wholesale, all handled by the same crew to the same standard.

A few recent jobs our crews delivered across Connecticut — tap any photo to see the full project.
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 ordered sod from CT Sod and had a great experience overall. I placed my order on a Wednesday, and the delivery arrived promptly the following Monday, right on time. The quality of the sod appears to be excellent — it’s been two weeks since installation, and it’s looking lush and healthy. I appreciate the timely delivery and the high quality of the product. I would definitely use CT Sod again for future projects.”
“I had a great experience with CT Sod. They helped me to figure out what was the best product for my specific needs, were fairly priced, and delivered and installed absolutely beautiful grass!! It completely transformed my home! Thank you Kayla and Sean!!”
“Sean and his team were friendly, professional, eager to please, and an overall joy to work with. By far the best deal in town without sacrificing quality; They did a beautiful job! I will be using them again for our front yard in the spring. 10/10 would recommend!”
“I redid my yard last fall with the bluegrass fescue sod from CT Sod — it was the best thing I ever did for my lawn. My home is in Shelton, CT, we have a ton of trees and I always struggled with growing grass seed. This was my final attempt and it worked.”
“We had a great experience with this sod company. They were professional, reliable, and did an excellent job from start to finish. Sean was very easy to work with! The lawn has rooted well and looks healthy and beautiful. We're very happy with the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new sod installation. Thank you for a job well done!”
“CT SOD was great to work with. Delivery and installation was so easy. The installers are very knowledgeable and the grass was in amazing shape. I appreciate the effort of Kayla and Sean to make this happen during the rainiest part of the season.”
