The power of a Dirt~n~Turf program comes with our 'onsite' service and commitment.

It is this 'hands on' approach that separates Dirt~n~Turf Consulting, Inc. from soil testers or other once a year, would-be consulting companies.

- Where does it start
- How our services work

This is where the journey begins. Our first function is to spend time with you, the Superintendent, at your business, the golf course.

During these site visits we will conduct informal 'audits' of the course. These audits includes such things as:

  • Cultural Practices
  • Age of the Course
  • Green Constructions
  • Drainage Problems
  • Shade or other Cultural Problems
  • Equipment review
  • Irrigation System

The audit would not be complete without a discussion of the dreaded, but all important budget. As stated earlier, while our first objective is to improve playing conditions, we are fully aware that this must be done within the confines of the budget.

By taking a moment to read some of our reference testimonials, you will find that the average course saves the cost of our program every year in efficiencies and conditioning.

Agronomy is the heart and soul of the golf course industry. However, most Superintendents are so consumed by managerial duties that agronomy gets replaced by general fertility.

Our job is to change this. We will start by sampling your course and deciding which elements are lacking or excessive. Now, anyone can figure out if it is lacking we simply need more. Right?

Wrong! Balanced nutrition is not only about proper amounts of each element but also about maintaining proper ratios of one to the other.

Our entire process is to determine which factors are most limiting the progress or success of your course.

By factors we are referring to Chemical, Physical, or Biological properties of the soil.

For most of our clients, fees based on the soil samples taken will cover the cost of our program and consulting services. However, many of our clients want more.

For those clients we provide services that may be custom tailored to meet your needs and budget. These fees may be billed on a monthly or quarterly basis.
