Turfgrass Management Consulting

A consulting visit from Professional Turfgrass Solutions will include a personal visit to your location to discuss and/or identify your specific concerns. The visit focuses on providing education and impartial advice to help the turf manager, or homeowner, with the best options to improve conditions. You will receive a customized agronomic report with management solutions recommended for your specific needs. Often, our research services go hand-in-hand with consultations, and are most helpful to professional turf managers. We help innovative your operation through strategies as simple as side-by-side product evaluations, or with more detailed demonstration trials – all done at your facility. Studies such as these allow the turf manager to see first hand any improvements made by a particular commercial product or cultural practice, and determine if pursuing will be worthwhile. This helps maximize the efficiency of your operation before a great deal of money and time have been spent on something that may not work for your situation. Consulting services have been done for, but not limited to the following:
  • Commercial Landscapes
  • Golf Course Management
