Grown right.
Since 1969.

Our Story

A-G Sod Farms started in 1969 with John — the Sod Father — one field, and a way of doing business you don't have to explain twice: grow it right, deliver on time, answer the phone. Fifty-five years later, three generations of the family are still in the field, and four California farms carry that same standard.

We stayed small on the things that matter: family ownership, a single point of contact, and a promise that every roll leaves the field the day it's cut. We grew large only on the things that make the product better — acreage, agronomy, equipment, and precision.
