Mooresville, Nc

Southeast Turf LLC. in Mooresville, NC. has been created to provide residential & commercial customers with artificial landscape grass & surfacing solutions. Over the past several years artificial surfacing has become the system of choice with many athletic programs nationwide. Usability of these fields’ increases immediately and the rigorous, costly maintenance virtually disappears. As these athletic fields have gained popularity over the years, the same holds true for landscape applications. With the growing concern for water conservation, emission reduction and the same constant return of annual landscape issues, artificial landscape grass has also gained popularity.I have decided to invest my energy & knowledge into my own company and continue to share my passion for the synthetic landscape grass business by educating residential & commercial potential customers on the benefits of synthetic grass. I will continue to engage with each potential customer, like it is my own home project and provide the most beneficial solutions along with excellent customer service. Southeast Turf LLC will continue to immediately service North & South Carolina with a long term plan of expansion into TN, VA, & KY.

Have started a brand new career with MAXlawn Artificial Landscape Turf. It is very challenging, but all is good. The opportunities are plentiful, just waiting on a better economy.
