Patten Seed Company
State
Description

The beginnings of Patten Seed Company were started by Robert L. Patten, a school teacher, who opened a general store in Lakeland, GA, circa 1893. Located downtown, it sold seed and fertilizer and everything in between, from horse collars to caskets.

Mr. Patten’s only son, Lawson, continued with the store and many agricultural side projects, including a seed-cleaning plant that we still use today.

Lawson had three children, one of them a daughter who married Bill Roquemore. Bill, a WWII bomber pilot, became involved in the family's business and was the entrepreneur, visionary, and people-person who built Patten Seed into the great family business it is today.

Bill’s son Jim follows in his footsteps, along with Ben Copeland Sr. and Ben Jr.

Today, Patten Seed is a privately held family and employee-owned business.

As a sod producer, Patten Seed positioned itself throughout the 1960’s to the present by constantly developing and testing new, high-quality turf varieties, embracing and innovating new technology, along with establishing production farms readily accessible to Southeastern cities to provide the freshest sod possible.

Patten Seed owns the Super-Sod® brand. We started using the brand in 1980, to market sod in the expanding urban markets. Super-Sod, one of the South's largest producers of turfgrass sod and seed, sets the standard for the industry. Strategically-placed farms and outlets around the Southeast allows Super-Sod to provide superior, fresh sod to each customer. Our employees stand out as being industry professionals, who offer knowledge, experience, and a passion to serve. We deliver sod on-time, when we say we will.
