Proof of Work
Recent job — Westport, CT
Westport, CT
This job is from Westport, CT. CT Sod serves Voluntown 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.
How It Works
Local Installation Planning
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.

“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.”
“I had an excellent experience with CT SO company from start to finish. They prepared the ground and installed new sod with great care and professionalism. The crew was punctual, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. What impressed me the most was how comfortable they made me feel throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain each step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew what to expect. Their communication was outstanding, and I always felt confident that my yard was in good hands. The finished lawn looks beautiful, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled lawn professionals. I'm very happy!!! Thank you for transforming my yard!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Excellent product and service! We ordered sod last year and the product was perfect! We installed it ourselves by first removing weeds and slightly tillering the site since we have heavy clay soil. The grass looked amazing when we installed and now in spring is perfect. We did water a lot after installing it but the time money and effort paid off. I recommend this supplier, thanks CTSod.”
