Our Services — Sod Delivery, Sod Prep, Sod Installation
Farm-cut sod installed across Voluntown — the deep eastern woods around Pachaug State Forest, the scattered rural lots, and the well-water country homes near the Rhode Island line.
(203) 806-4086
Voluntown sits in Connecticut's quiet southeastern corner against the Rhode Island line, wrapped around Pachaug State Forest — the largest state forest in Connecticut. This is deep-woods country: heavily forested, thinly settled, with homes scattered on large lots down long drives, drawing from wells, and often ringed by tree cover on ground the forest is always trying to reclaim. The soil is glacial till, firm and stony with a shallow topsoil layer, and the heavy canopy throws real shade over much of the settled ground. It's about as rural as New London County gets, which means a Voluntown lawn depends on honest prep, the right shade-and-sun mix, and equipment that can actually reach a yard tucked back in the trees.
CT Sod runs install crews across New London County, and Voluntown's eastern woods are 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 the head of a long wooded drive. The crews here lay sod nearly every day and do nothing else, backed by 30 years of sod industry experience. On the shaded lots under heavy canopy we lead with a tall fescue blend or a bluegrass-fescue mix that holds up in low light; the open, sunny clearings 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 hand over the whole job.
Here is what install day in Voluntown 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 out to the woods near Pachaug. On a full-service job the crew strips the old turf, grades, and works in topsoil first; on install-only that prep is already done. The all-terrain forklift then carries pallets down the long wooded drives and across the yard to wherever the crew is laying, so nothing gets stranded at the road, dragged through the trees, or left sitting in the sun. A sod-only crew rolls it out, cuts it tight around beds, walks, roots, and any rock outcrop, and rolls the seams the same day it was harvested. Before we go, you get a same-day watering handoff so the new 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 Voluntown's thin, stony upland till and the shaded lots near Pachaug where a new lawn has to fight for light and moisture from the start.
Voluntown homes are scattered on large lots down long wooded drives, and delivery trucks simply can't reach the yard through the trees. Our forklift carries each pallet down the drive and across the yard to where the crew is laying, so nothing gets stranded at the road, dragged through the woods, or double-handled by hand.
A tall fescue blend or bluegrass-fescue mix for the shaded lots under heavy Pachaug canopy where light is scarce; tall fescue or RTF for the open, sunny clearings that ride out a dry summer on thin, stony till; and Kentucky bluegrass where a sunny yard has steady water and wants the richest color.
From the deep forest around Pachaug State Forest out to the scattered rural clearings, we install across Voluntown and the neighboring towns of Griswold, North Stonington, Sterling, and Plainfield — planning for the long wooded drives, the well-water yards, and the deer-edge lots where the forest meets the lawn.
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 Voluntown install is scoped per project — square footage, access down a long wooded drive, prep needs, shade, and drainage on the stony ground. You get a written quote with the work and inclusions spelled out before any crew is scheduled, so a woods-country lawn comes together with no surprises on install day.

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.

“Excellent service, great product. Delivery was delayed 1 day because of weather. I was contacted immediately of the change, and given multiple delivery times for my convenience. Great company fair prices, and excellent communication.”
“I recently had my lawn done by CT SOD, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From the initial prep work to the final installation, everything was completed in just one day, and the results exceeded my expectations. The lawn looks absolutely beautiful, and it's clear the team takes pride in the quality of their work. They were professional, efficient, and left everything clean when they finished. If you're looking for a company that delivers excellent results and great service, I highly recommend CT SOD. Thank you for an outstanding job!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
