THE Turf Plan can be broken down into a basic version, called “GOLD LEVEL” that will outperform your neighbors who have hired lawn care professionals, or the do-it-yourselfers using a well known bagged plan.  If you desire a higher level of horticultural achievement, try our “PLATINUM LEVEL” turf plan.  The PLATINUM LEVEL is only for serious turf tenders, and will quickly make you the envy of the neighborhood.  We’ve noticed that most of you who master the GOLD LEVEL quickly upgrade to the PLATINUM LEVEL!

The items used are professional grade products used by the lawn care companies all around the country. Most products are sold in 50-lb bags, for covering 9,000 to 12,000 sq ft (9M and 12M, respectively).  We’re the only suppliers in town that will break open bags, to weigh out the EXACT amount of product that you need for your yard.   We recognize that a 50 lb bag might take you three years to use.  We don’t want you to have to store that bag for an extended period of time, especially for the products that contain pesticide components, such as dithiopyr (for crabgrass control) and imidacloprid (for grub control).  More important, we want you to use the RIGHT PRODUCT at the RIGHT TIME!
