Gold and Platinum Level Turf Plans
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 well known “bag plans”. 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 many of you who master the
GOLD LEVEL transition to the
PLATINUM LEVEL!
The items we sell are professional grade products used by professional lawn care operators and golf courses all around the region. Most products are sold in 50-lb bags and will cover 9,000 to 12,000 sq ft of turf (9M and 12M, respectively). No matter what the product or the timing of application, we want to help you use the product properly, and we want to provide you with the educational resources to learn why
THE Turf Plan® is the best program for turf in the transition zone of the U.S.
