If you were to ask someone who Green Horizon Group of farms were, they are most likely not going to be able to tell you. But if you have sod in your front yard in Ontario there is a good chance in came from them. Green Horizon farms over 5000 acres of sod across Ontario. Other then sod they provide basically the full landscape, from mulch to topsoil, and have their own fertilizer franchise. They are willing to go above and beyond with next day delivery if specified.
Starting in 1975 with 35 acres to over 5000 today they have come along way. In 1998 they invested in a golf course and built Willow Valley using all their own sod and seeding practices to start out. In season they have 200 employees and 60 in the winter. In the early 90’s there was a huge innovation in the sod industry. The automatic sod stacker was produced and was about to cut labour in half and do a lot of work in less time. Green Horizon invested 1.4 million dollars in 6 of these machines.
From a small 35 acre family farm to over 5000 acres, a fertilizer, and a topsoil business. I think that Green Horizon has invested their money well and made good business decisions throughout their career. If you are thinking about doing a major sod renovation or just a small job in your back yard be sure to talk to these guys and go with the best sod in the business.
