In 1957, Dow Huggett started his sod farm with a roll top desk & 30 acres. His farm was planted with mint prior to 1957.

At that time, Huggett Sod Farm, only had one type of sod, and this was harvested with a “Ryan” walk behind sod cutter. Dow & his crew of 6 (including his son Wallace) rolled the sod pieces, loaded the sod & also unloaded the sod, all by hand!

Utilizing a small stake truck, deliveries were made within a 100-mile radius of the farm located in Marlette, Michigan.

In 1961, Wallace Huggett took over the daily operations of the sod farm. Over the next 40 years, he expanded the farm to include (800 - 1000) acres and added a tree nursery on an additional 120 acres. The business was incorporated in 1966.

In 1982, Wallace Huggett extended his sod business to Texas. He opened Trinity Turf Nursery, in Pilot Point, Texas. Trinity Turf Nursery has approximately 800 acres in sod production of Bermuda Grass and Zoysia Grass. It has become an acknowledged quality leader in the Dallas/Fort Worth sod market.
