History

Established in 1958.

The First Kansas City Grass Pad opened as a sod farm on 700 acres in Farley, Missouri. No telephone, no running water, just two light bulbs, one outdoor privy, and an old dairy barn.

People drove for miles to find the gravel road, the old barn and the 700 acres of lush green sod. Uncle had the program to grow the finest sod: Imitate nature. Plant the finest seed. Feed it. Prevent crabgrass and weeds. Why that’s so simple it was Idiot Proof.

Tell us the secret so we can make our lawns lush and green like your sod far. «Uncle, write down that idiot proof program.» Put it on a yellow sheet so it won’t get lost.

Over the years the Grass Pad has grow to five locations throughout the Kansas City area. The new mantra in the Garden Center business is about going upscale to high profit gift shop items. At the Grass Pad we are still about Dirt!
