Alex graduated from Clemson University in 1982 and was followed by his brother Gary in 1986.

The year 2000 marked the first shipment of sod from Green Acres Turf Farm, LLC. Growing from a 200 acre turf farm in 2000 to around 1500 acres today, Green Acres has earned a place as a reliable supplier of premium turf grass for the landscape, sports and golf industries in South Carolina and parts of Georgia and North Carolina. Along with quality, service is a top priority at Green Acres. We have 14 company owned trucks equipped with forklifts ready to serve your needs. While owning and staffing these trucks and forklifts specifically for delivering sod is very expensive, we have found this necessary to provide on time deliveries and the level of service needed by our clients. Using our own trucks and drivers instead of independent contractors also insures that for your protection, trucks and drivers delivering to you are adequately permitted, licensed and insured.

Williams Lawn Seed is a Midwest regional wholesale lawn seed distributor serving 10 states. We distribute millions of pounds of turf seed every year
WLS specializes in quality lawn seed and turf care products. We offer certified & sod blends, small retail & bulk packaging, prompt delivery, and quality service. We serve athletic fields, sod producers, golf courses, retail stores, landscape contractors, and the professional lawn care industry.
Our founder, Garvin R. Williams (1913-2003) began in the lawn seed business by swinging a hand bluegrass stripper at the age of 17 years, and selling the seed at $0.04 per pound. In 1930 he became a bluegrass entrepreneur. During a 10 day summer harvesting period at Coffey, Missouri he purchased 20,000 pounds of hand-stripped seed that had been done by other men, women, and children. A hand-stripper that had been used, along with a write-up of that story, can be found at the National Agriculture Hall of Fame at Bonner Springs, Kansas.
Methods of seed gatherings gradually changed. The yields in harvest fields began to decrease in the four Midwestern states. Now, most lawn grass seed is grown in Oregon, Washingtion, and Idaho, according to varying needs in different areas. WLS sells this seed to golf courses, sod farms, nurseries, and retail stores.
WLS has supplied grass seed to golf course played during the PGA tours, professional and college football stadiums, as well as prominent retail stores located throughout the Midwest. Mr. Williams' son, Leon, along with his partner, Steven Tubbs, are the current owners of Williams Lawn Seed.
