Dayton, OH's Local Sod Farm — Farm-Fresh Turf Since 1913
Gerdes Turf Farms, Inc. is a working sod farm on Upper Bellbrook Rd. in Xenia, at the heart of the Dayton, OH metro, growing Tall Fescue turf that we harvest fresh every day. Because we grow the product we sell, homeowners, landscapers, and contractors throughout the Dayton area get sod that spent less time off the ground than sod trucked in from distant regional suppliers — which means better root health and faster establishment.
We supply both retail and wholesale customers: homeowners picking up a few pallets for a DIY weekend project, landscaping contractors sourcing turf for client jobs, and builders and developers needing bulk sod for new-construction communities across Greene, Montgomery, and Warren counties.
What we grow and offer at the farm:
- Tall Fescue sod — heat-tolerant and disease-resistant, well-suited to Ohio's hot summers and clay soils
- Grass seed blends for overseeding, new lawns, and shade or high-traffic areas
- Lawn fertilizer and lawn-care chemicals for DIY maintenance programs
- Same-day pallet pickup at the farm, or delivery to your job site
- Wholesale/bulk pricing for landscape contractors and builders
