“Our Steel Greens have been absolutely indispensable. I don’t think we could be as productive and do as many yards as we do without having those out there with us. We hit a revenue milestone in 2024, which was big for us, and a lot went into that — our people, obviously, our processes. But the tools we use, like Steel Green, and their reliability were important for us, too.”

“The redesign of the Exmark Z-Spray Max … was a complete game-changer. I always said the original Z Sprays felt like you were standing in a 55-gallon drum when you were operating them. But with the Max, they dropped the center of gravity. They gave it better maneuverability. They changed so many things for the better. They turned it into a user-friendly machine with almost limitless capabilities.”

“We don’t do a lot of ride-on applications, but we do have some … and the Turfware TR460 was a noticeable step up from what we used before. Also, being in Atlanta, Graham Spray Equipment is just south of us, and they build all of our spray trucks. We’re in the transition zone, so we have every type of grass, so our trucks need to be equipped to handle that. It’s nice that we have a company in our area that understands all that to work with us on building those spray trucks.”

“I still like the old PermaGreen Magnums, even though they’re phasing out all the replacement parts, so I’ll have to find a new one. We have a lot of them — I think 13. It’s just been a simple enough, comfortable enough machine for any of our operators to master. Simple to operate, simple to fix … it does a good job.”
