Dodds & Eder was originally founded in 1897 as Mollineaux Feed & Supply Company selling hay, grain, feed, poultry supplies, tools, and fertilizers to the estates of the north shore gold coast of Long Island, New York. During the Roaring 20's, the business was sold to Fred Leuenberger. His nephew, John Dodds joined the company in the 1930. By the time 1950 rolled around, John owned the business

and had enlisted his best childhood friend, Al Eder, to be his partner. The company was renamed Dodds & Eder soon after.

In 1973, twenty-year-old Joe McLaughlin replaced retiring John Dodds and became the new business partner of sixty-eight-year-old Al Eder. Six years later, Al Eder retired but continued to work for the company until he was eighty-five! In 1984, Joe's brother, Dave McLaughlin, joined the company and helped develop the landscape design and installation as well as maintenance divisions. Dave held a horticultural degree and a Masters in Business. Prior to joining the company, he was Director of Floriculture in Kansas City, Missouri, and Director of Greenhouses at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, New York.

Meanwhile, Joe began to implement his vision for "outdoor elegance" on the retail side. The idea of blending fine outdoor furnishings and accents to adorn the great gardens we were creating seemed like a natural way for Dodds and Eder to grow. Positive customer response confirmed this idea and moved the company forward. In 1987 Dodds & Eder moved to its present location on South Street in Oyster Bay, NY and continues to expand with the changing needs of its clients. Today, our outdoor furniture department is a regional presence, maintaining clients throughout the tri-state area. In 2004, Dodds & Eder was a finalist in a national industry award for excellence.
