Fred Alexander, President

Founder of Alexander Sod Farms, Fred has worked tirelessly to build his fledgling company from a small one-person operation to one that employs over 20 people during the busy season. With 40 years in the turf industry under his belt, Fred has also been active within the Quebec Sod Producers Association and Turfgrass Producers International.

When Fred is not out surveying his sod fields to be sure that the quality is up to his standards he can be found talking to his agronomists, helping his customers or discussing new technologies on sod production and maintenance.

Fred's desire to be on the forefront of new information and practices in the sod industry inspires the rest of the Alexander team to maintain the standards he has set for our quality sod production and service.

Mary Ann Alexander, Sales and Marketing Manager

Mary Ann has played an integral role in growing Alexander Sod Farms' reputation over the last 30 years. She has brought it from a small sod farm that mainly sold to a few large clients to one that does business with all kinds of institutions requiring turf grass. We now deal directly with many homeowners, landscapers, contracters, nurseries, golf courses and municipalities.

She has worked very hard at developing new markets and maintaining good relationships with many of our clients, some of whom have been with us for over 20 years.
