Three Ways We Work With You

Option 1

Delivery Only

All 8 States

Fresh-cut sod delivered to your property — you or your landscaper handle prep and install. All-terrain forklift placement included so pallets land where the crew needs them, not stranded in the driveway.

  • Single pallet minimum (600 sf delivered)
  • Same-day cut from the farm
  • Forklift placement on every delivery

Option 2

Delivery + Prep

Select Markets

We handle the sod-specific prep work — old-turf strip, topsoil, grading, and rolling — then deliver fresh sod for you or your landscaper to lay. Useful when your crew can lay sod but you'd rather not coordinate the prep separately.

  • Old turf removed and disposed off-site
  • Fresh screened topsoil + sod-ready grade
  • You or your landscaper lays the sod

Option 3

Full Install / Turnkey

CT + Westchester

End-to-end: site walk, written quote, prep, fresh-cut sod delivery, install by our sod-specialist crew, and aftercare handoff. One trade, one number, one schedule. Full-service install area covers Connecticut and Westchester County.

  • Site walk and written project quote
  • Same-day cut, delivered, and installed
  • Day-by-day watering schedule on handoff
02Northeast-proven, farm-cut to order

Sod Varieties We Install

Kentucky Bluegrass sod

Kentucky Bluegrass

KBG
Min sun: 6+ hrs Shade: Low–Medium

Dense, rich-color blue-green turf with strong self-repair from rhizomes. The classic Northeast estate look. Wants full sun and consistent watering during establishment.

Kentucky Bluegrass Sod
Black Beauty Tall Fescue sod

Black Beauty Tall Fescue

Tall Fescue
Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium

Drought- and heat-tolerant with deep rooting and good shade performance. Stays green further into summer dry spells than KBG. Great choice for mixed-light yards.

Black Beauty Tall Fescue Sod
Bluegrass-Fescue Blend sod

Bluegrass-Fescue Blend

Blend
Min sun: 4–6 hrs Shade: Medium

Best-of-both: KBG's color and self-repair with tall fescue's drought tolerance and shade performance. Our most-installed variety for residential properties.

Bluegrass-Fescue Blend Sod
RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue) sod

RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue)

RTF
Min sun: 4+ hrs Shade: Medium

A newer tall fescue with self-spreading rhizomes — heat and drought tolerance plus better recovery from wear. Strong pick for active families and dog yards.

03Homeowners and contractors, two different rhythms

Who We Work With

For Homeowners

A Lawn That Looks Finished on Day One

Most of our residential installs are homeowners who want the lawn done right the first time — not a two-season seed-and-pray. We walk your site, talk through variety, sun, drainage, and use, and give you a written quote with the scope spelled out. Crews show up when they said they would and leave a watering schedule taped to your hose bib.

  • Free site walk and written quote
  • Variety guidance matched to your sun and soil
  • Sod-specialist crew (not a landscape generalist)
  • Aftercare handoff with watering and first-mow schedule

For Contractors

A Sod Sub You Can Build a Schedule Around

Landscape contractors, builders, and property managers use us as their sod sub. We install up to 30,000 sq ft/day with predictable scheduling, white-label crews if you want them on-site behind your brand, and contractor pricing on recurring volume. We don't touch hardscape, plantings, or irrigation — we deliver and lay sod and get out of your way.

  • 30,000 sq ft/day install capacity
  • White-label subcontracting available
  • Recurring-volume contractor pricing
  • Predictable lead times you can promise to your clients
04Step by step

What a Full-Service Install Looks Like

1

Site Walk & Written Quote

We measure, look at access, soil, drainage, and use, and write a quote with the scope and inclusions spelled out. No surprises mid-job.

2

Old-Lawn Removal & Prep

Existing turf and debris stripped and disposed off-site. Fresh screened topsoil where needed, hand-raked to sod-ready grade with positive drainage, then rolled.

3

Same-Day Fresh-Cut Sod

Sod cut at the farm the morning of install and on your lawn the same day — never sitting on a pallet for days.

4

Precise Installation

Brickwork-staggered seams, tight joints, rolled for soil contact before we leave. Sod-specialist crew, not a landscape generalist.

5

Aftercare Handoff

Day-by-day watering schedule, first-mow timing, and a one-page care sheet. We check in after the first 7–10 days on residential installs.

05Sod specialists, not generalists

Why Use Our Install Crews

Fresh-Cut, Not Inventory

Sod is cut against your install date — typically the day before — and laid the next day. No pallets baking in a yard for a week, no wilt, no transplant shock from sitting in the sun for three days.

Crews That Only Do Sod

Our install crews work full-time on sod — tighter seams, consistent grade, faster than a landscape generalist who lays sod twice a year.

8-State Footprint

CT, MA, NY (Westchester, Long Island, Hudson Valley, the Hamptons), NJ, RI, southern VT, NH, and ME. Same farm, same crews, same standards.

Honest Pricing & Scheduling

Sod Installation FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can you install sod on my property?
Standard lead time is 3–7 business days from a signed quote in the in-season window (April–November). Spring and early-fall peak weeks book out further; if you have a target date, call early. Year-round availability runs spring through late fall — we install as late as December depending on temperatures and ground conditions.
Do you have sod installers near me?
If you're in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Westchester, or on Long Island — yes. We keep town-by-town installation pages with local details across all six markets: find yours on sod installation near me, or call (203) 806-4086 with your zip code.
Do you remove the existing lawn before installing?
Yes, for our full-service install we strip the existing turf, dispose of it off-site, add fresh screened topsoil where needed, hand-rake to a sod-ready grade with positive drainage, and roll. For install-only jobs, you (or your landscaper) handle prep to those specs and we arrive to lay sod.
What's included in site prep?
Old-turf removal, off-site disposal, fresh screened topsoil to a depth that supports rooting, hand-raking to sod-ready grade, positive drainage pitch off the house and hardscape, and a roll to firm the bed. We do not install French drains, dry wells, or in-ground irrigation — those are specialist trades.
Can sod be installed year-round in the Northeast?
Effectively yes — sod installs spring through late fall, right up until the ground freezes. We routinely install through December across all 8 states depending on the season. Mid-summer installs (July–August) are fine but need heavier watering during establishment and predictable site access. For month-by-month timing, see our best month to lay sod guide.
How is install pricing calculated?
Every install is quoted per project, not flat per-square-foot. Access, prep needs, site grading, variety choice, distance, and timing all affect the number. Delivered sod pricing is public via our sod calculator; for installed pricing call (203) 806-4086 and we'll walk through your site on the phone.
What's the project minimum?
Standard install minimum is 1,200 sq ft. Smaller projects can typically be served with pallet-only delivery (600 sq ft minimum) for you or your landscaper to install.
Do you offer contractor / white-label install pricing?
Yes. Landscape contractors, builders, and property managers who order recurring volume get white-label subcontracting at predictable scheduling and trade-relationship pricing. Call to set up an account: (203) 806-4086.
When can my family and dogs use the new lawn?
Stay off the sod for the first 2–3 weeks while the roots knit into the soil. Light foot traffic (checking sprinkler coverage, spot-watering dry seams) is fine after the first week. Hold dogs, kids, mowers, and furniture until you can grip a corner of sod and feel the root system holding.

After Your Install

The first 14 days decide whether new sod thrives

Sod is a living product — the watering you do in the first two weeks matters more than anything else you will ever do to your lawn. Our free day-by-day guide covers exactly when to water, how much, when to mow for the first time, and the mistakes that cost people their new lawn.

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!!!

We had a great experience with CT Sod. After our pool installation, our yard needed significant cleanup and restoration. Their team did an excellent job prepping the area with quality topsoil and installing the new sod. They were professional, friendly, and especially careful working around our brand-new pool and patio. Communication was easy throughout the process via text, and they took the time to recommend the right type of sod specifically for the conditions in our yard. The finished lawn exceeded our expectations and looks fantastic. They also provided great value—we were able to use the extra topsoil and sod to improve other areas of our property. Overall, very happy with the quality of the work and the entire experience with CT Sod.

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.
