About Us

Turfsaw, LLC was founded earlier last year by an 86 year old former CGCS (1975-1985) who recently invented and patented a revolutionary way of aerating turf. Our founder has 60 years of experience with horticulture, 45 of which have dealt with the care of turf. He started a nursery business right after WWII but left that after 15 years to become a golf course superintendent. He served as superintendent at six different courses over a period of 15 years during which time he became certified and invented and patented a turf aerator. This was never marketed but led to the formation of a company specializing in turf drainage.

Having resigned as superintendent, he spent the next 15 years improving turf drainage all over the US. A few of the better known locations where turf drainage work was done include the old Field of the Chicago White Sox, the old Orange Bowl, the South Florida training facility for the Houston Astro's, a football field at Cal State Berkley, and some fairway work at Pebble Beach. Altogether, work was done in about 20 states.

Tired of traveling, he sold the business (now known as Sand Channel Greens) and retired. But he couldn't stop thinking about turf drainage and aeration. In the process he developed a revolutionary turf aerator which he called a TurfSaw so he has unretired to become the CEO of TurfSaw, LLC and at 86 is once again improving sports turf all over the U.S.
