How It All Started

Turf Pro is a family owned and operated business with roots dating back to 1986.

The company was founded by Frank Sturm, Sr. as Sturm Lawn & Landscaping Services, originally providing general landscaping services throughout the local community and surrounding areas. Built on hard work, personal service, and a commitment to doing things the right way, the business steadily grew through long-term customer relationships and word-of-mouth referrals.

As the years passed and our experience deepened, the company gradually shifted its focus toward soil health and turf management — areas where we could deliver consistent, lasting improvements for homeowners. Around 2000–2001, the business transitioned primarily to fertilization and lawn care programs, leading to the creation of Turf Pro, Inc.

What We Stand For

While the name evolved, the principles established from the beginning never changed: treat customers honestly, take pride in the work, and prioritize long-term results over quick fixes.

Honest Service

Straightforward communication and transparent pricing — no hidden fees, no upselling.

Family-Centered

Many team members over the years have been family, reflecting the personal nature of our work.

Long-Term Results

We prioritize lasting improvements over quick fixes — building healthier lawns season after season.

Community Roots

Serving the same community for decades is a defining part of who we are.

A Family Business, Through and Through

Turf Pro has always been deeply family-centered. Many of the individuals who have worked with the company over the years have been family members, reflecting the collaborative and personal nature of the business. Working together and serving the same community for decades has been a defining part of the company's identity.

After more than four decades, Turf Pro continues to operate with the same straightforward mission — providing knowledgeable, reliable lawn care with a personal level of attention that homeowners can trust year after year.
