Three Ways We Work With You
Option 1
Delivery Only
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)
- Cut to order and laid the day it leaves the farm
- Forklift placement on every delivery
Option 2
Delivery + Prep
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
Site walk (in person or by photos and a call, depending on distance), written quote, old-lawn removal, screened topsoil and grading, fresh-cut sod delivered and installed by a sod-only crew, and a day-by-day watering schedule on handoff.
- Site walk and written project quote
- Cut to order and laid the day it leaves the farm
- Day-by-day watering schedule on handoff
Sod Varieties We Install
Kentucky Bluegrass
KBGDense, 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
Tall FescueDrought- 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
BlendBest-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)
RTFA newer tall fescue with self-spreading rhizomes — heat and drought tolerance plus better recovery from wear. Strong pick for active families and dog yards.
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
Builders and landscape contractors use CT Sod as their sod installation contractor. 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
What a Full-Service Install Looks Like
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.
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.
Fresh Sod, Cut to Order
Sod is cut to order and laid the day it leaves the farm — never sitting on a pallet for days.
Precise Installation
Brickwork-staggered seams, tight joints, rolled for soil contact before we leave. Sod-specialist crew, not a landscape generalist.
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.
Why Use Our Install Crews
Fresh-Cut, Not Inventory
Sod is cut to order and laid the day it leaves the farm. 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
A sod installer who lays sod every working day produces tighter seams and a more 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
Public delivered pricing via the calculator. Install quoted per project so the number matches the work. Lead times we'll actually hit.

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.
