About Us

In 1943, at the age of 26, Harold J Krier bought a farm on the outskirts of Random Lake, Wisconsin where he grew fresh vegetables that he sold to the local canning business. He also raised livestock and had a large strawberry patch that was harvested for the local people and grocery stores in the area. His knack for growing fresh produce eventually led him to the idea for growing a new product... instant lawns.

During the late 1950's, after some experimentation and ingenuity, Harold was able to harvest his first roll of sod by the spring of 1960. However, getting the sod off the ground and onto the truck was proving to be a back-breaking task.

After some brain-storming with his good pal "Arno", they converted a potato digger into a rolling machine that would send each roll onto a conveyor, and up to the truck where it was then stacked into place. They used this ingenious system until 1977, when they bought their first automatic sod harvester that allowed rolls to be stacked directly onto a wooden pallet. Shortly after, they bought their first mobile forklift and the rest is history. This is the same way you'll receive your sod today. It is always cut fresh and delivered within hours. Harold taught this craft to his son Jeff, who is the current owner and operator of Krier Sod Company.

We dedicate ourselves on growing the best sod available. Our sod is nurtured for several growing seasons before we finally harvest and load it on our trucks. This means that we regularly inspect, fertilize, irrigate, and treat for weeds and insects. We use only the best varieties of professionally grown seed on the market, and it's been extensively tested to be the cleanest & highest quality seed available. Our mineral sod can tolerate various types of soil like sandy, gravel, clay, and loamy soils.
