Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Upper Saddle River — the large wooded lots up near the New York line, the long drives set back from the road, and the open sunny lawns in between. Same-day-cut sod, all-terrain forklift placement, sod-specialist crews.

This job was completed by the same CT Sod crews that serve Upper Saddle River.
Back with the same East End builder one door down from our June install — 4,500 sq ft of fresh-cut sod laid around the pool while the listing was already live with the lawn rendered in.
How It Works
Still sizing the job? Use the sod and topsoil calculator to plan pallets, soil quantities, and delivery loads before requesting your installation quote.
Upper Saddle River follows New Jersey's statewide fertilizer calendar, and its water utility sets the watering schedule; see the fertilizer law and water restrictions for Upper Saddle River.
Local Installation Planning
Upper Saddle River sits at the northern edge of Bergen County against the New York line, where the terrain rises toward the Ramapo foothills and the lots run large and wooded. Homes here are set well back on generous parcels, with mature hardwoods shading big stretches of the grounds and open sun on the front lawns and clearings. The soil is glacial till with the stonier ground common as the land climbs toward the foothills — it compacts, drains unevenly, and carries a fair amount of rock below the surface. Between the shade, the stone, and the scale of the lots, a finished Upper Saddle River lawn leans hard on honest prep, the right variety for each exposure, and sod that is still fresh when it goes down.
CT Sod delivers and installs sod across northern New Jersey with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market, 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, carried deep onto the property by all-terrain forklift instead of stranded at the road, and laid the same day by a crew whose only job is sod — not general landscaping. Book install-only if you or your landscaper handle the prep, or full-service to fold old-turf removal, grading, and topsoil into one scope. On the shaded wooded grounds we lead with a bluegrass-fescue blend that holds color under canopy; the open sunny lawns take tall fescue for the deep roots that carry a lawn through a dry summer on stony ground.
Here is what install day looks like in Upper Saddle River. Once the quote is approved and the date is set, your sod is cut fresh that morning and loaded for the run north. On full-service work the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is already done. The long setback drives and the distance from the road to the lawn are where the all-terrain forklift earns its keep — it carries pallets deep onto the grounds and past the tree line to where the crew is laying, so nothing is stranded at the road or dragged across a finished apron or walk. From there the crew sets tight seams, cuts the sod clean around beds and mature tree wells, and rolls it the same day it was harvested. Before we leave you get a watering handoff so the first soak goes down and the lawn starts rooting right away.
Your sod is cut to order at the farm the morning of installation — never stockpiled. Fresh sod roots in faster and handles transplant stress far better than a tired pallet, which matters on Upper Saddle River's shaded, root-competitive wooded grounds where a struggling lawn has trouble catching up under a heavy hardwood canopy.
Homes here sit well back on large lots behind long drives, so a curbside drop leaves sod stranded far from where it goes. The all-terrain forklift carries pallets deep onto the property and past the tree line to where the crew is laying — no hauling a lawn's worth of pallets by hand across an apron, a finished walk, or a stony grade.
The wooded grounds near the New York line throw heavy shade, so we lead there with a bluegrass-fescue blend that keeps color where straight bluegrass thins. The open sunny lawns get tall fescue for its deep drought roots — a durable turf that holds up on stony, unevenly draining till and rides out a dry Bergen summer.
Full-service means our crew strips the old turf, grades, works in topsoil, and lays the fresh sod under one scope — one point of contact from quote through completion, which suits the scale of the larger lots here. Prefer to run your own prep? Choose install-only: your landscaper handles removal and grading, and our sod crew lays the farm-cut sod tight to your edges.
Every Upper Saddle River install is scoped per project — square footage across a large lot, long-drive access, prep needs, drainage on the stony till, and how much of the grounds sit under canopy. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so there are no surprises when install day arrives.
We are sod specialists, not general landscapers, delivering and installing across northern New Jersey with the same fresh-cut product and install standard we run in our home market. That focus shows in tight seams held straight across a big lawn, clean edges, and a finished ground that reads even from the road.

Verified customer reviews
A sample of verified reviews from our 4.6-star Google Business Profile.
“I recently dealt with Sean and Kayla to set up a sod installation around a new pool - couldn’t be happier with the process, price, and results. Highly recommend CT Sod - you won’t be disappointed with this company. I snapped this while the guys were working. In 4 hours they almost had the whole 5,000 square feet of fresh Kentucky Bluegrass installed. Results speak for themselves.”
“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!”
“Was leveling backyard and need help picking sod and know how much they did a great job of educating me and helping pick. Then when half didn't take for reason none of us could figure out they went above and beyond to make sure the back yard looked great .”
“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.”
“CT Sod does all of our sod work, and they always do an awesome job. They're easy to work with, show up when they say they will, and everything always comes out looking great. We've used them on multiple jobs and have never been disappointed. Definitely recommend them if you need sod done right!”
“I was on a search for a sod supplier, and between the large retail stores and the local nurseries, no one had sod ready when I needed it. I came across CT Sod, and not only they had sod available their prices were much more competitive than the large retailer and the local nurseries. From the initial call, order, delivery and installation, every step went smoothly. The office staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. The sod that was delivered was high quality. After the installation I have received detailed instruction on the maintenance, and a week later I received a call to verify that everything is well. I am highly recommend them for any size work. I am happy to say: “The grass is always greener at the neighbor yard”. I am that neighbor now!”
