Southern Turf Co.®
Why it ranks #15
Southern Turf has the second-largest review count on this list at 743 and clear design expertise for custom putting greens and athletic fields, but it lands last here because sentiment scores lower than peers: a $40,000 project and an $8,000 install both reportedly stalled on repairs and communication.
Pros
- Specialized expertise in custom putting greens and athletic fields
- Named project managers who design with client input
- Full-team turnkey installation with clean-up
