On July 30, 2021, Super-Sod, a division of Patten Seed Company, joined forces with Mid Tenn Turf by finalizing the purchase of the business. The acquisition marks Super-Sod’s first expansion into Tennessee.
Centrally located within the triangle of Tennessee’s major cities of Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, and with over 2,400 acres of turfgrass in production on two farm locations, the business was acquired to bring Super-Sod’s assortment of turfgrass varieties and products, including TifTuf Bermudagrass, Zenith Zoysia, Zeon Zoysia and Soil³ humus compost sold in a BigYellowBag into the Tennessee market. Warm-season (Bermuda) and cool-season (Tall Fescue) turfgrasses will continue to be grown at both of Mid Tenn’s locations in Manchester and Benton, Tenn.
Allan Howard started the turf farm in 1986 on 150 acres strategically situated within quick reach of Tennessee’s major developing markets. Later, Nick Graham joined Howard and they grew it into the leading sod business in the state. Super-Sod is pleased to expand its customer reach through the acquisition of Mid Tenn’s substantial assets and footprint.
