Sod Shop - LAWN AND GARDEN SERVICES

About

Sod Shop

The company began in 1985 under the management of Ted Wilbur and operated under the name Green-Glo, Inc., as a mowing operation for both residential and commercial properties. In the beginning, there were up to 6 mowing crews, but as demand grew so did the services that were offered. Green-Glo, Inc. began offering full service lawn care, sprinkler systems and residential landscaping. In 1992, Ted brought on his brother, Tony Wilbur, as a partner. Tony specialized in working with the company’s commercial landscaping operations.

Ted and Tony realized the potential for sod in the Wichita market, so they returned to their farming roots and chose some of the best river-bottom ground near Sedgwick, Kansas to begin their endeavor. They knew that by providing excellent customer service combined with a fresh top-quality product, they would be able to provide landscapers, contractors, and home owners just what they’ve been looking for. So, in 1996, Ted and Tony opened a new division of their business and named it the Sod Shop.
