LOVING expanded its footprint in Florida by adding a 700-acre sod farm in Punta Gorda, Florida. With the framework already in place to begin production, this expansion enables LOVING to further support landscaping companies in southwest Florida.
“We are beyond excited to begin production with this new farm as it will optimize our Southwest Florida operations significantly," said Mike Haynes, founder and president. "This farm combined with our Babcock Ranch farming location will set us up to execute on the continued growth expected in Southwest Florida. We also are looking forward to supporting the local community through employment and outreach opportunities."
LOVING is headquartered in Gastonia, North Carolina, and offers landscaping, outdoor living and sod supply to both local and national homebuilding clients across the Southeast. In addition, LOVING supports landscape companies and DIYers alike by offering an online platform for ordering sod with free next day delivery through nextDAYsod.com.
