In 2005, brothers W.B. and Allen, decided to take the family business into a new direction by developing 40 acres of fescue/bluegrass sod. Today, the Bass Sod Farm, cultivates more than 170 acres of sod including fescue, bermuda and zoysia grasses.

Today Central Sod has service areas in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.
