How it Works
Turfgrass Management Consulting
A consulting visit from Professional Turfgrass Solutions includes a personal visit to your location to discuss or identify your specific concerns. The visit focuses on providing education and impartial advice to help the turf manager or homeowner select 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 complement consultation visits and are very helpful for professional turf managers.
We help innovate your operation through methods ranging from side-by-side product evaluations to detailed demonstration trials conducted at your facility. These studies allow turf managers to assess improvements from commercial products or cultural practices firsthand before committing significant time or funds.
