Taking a Glance Inside the 2017 GIE+EXPO with the TurfCare™ Road Crew
November 17, 2017

Last month, the TurfCare™ Road Crew, including the Executive Team, Sales Managers, the Agronomist and the Marketing department set out to Louisville, Kentucky to participate in the 2017 GIE+EXPO. At the show booth, the TCS Road Crew shared industry knowledge, revealed the new brand and look of GrowStar™ products and launched the exciting new additions to the AMP-XC™ Technology line-up, which now includes fertilizer and a liquid concentrate (available late 2017-early 2018). Upon visiting the booth, guests received complimentary coffee, had the opportunity to enter to win a Lesco® Sprayer or Spreader and walked away with a FREE 8oz sample of the NEW AMP-XC™ liquid concentrate!
Congratulations to our Lesco® Spreader winners: Scott & Shannon Wells and Al Beall!
Congratulations to our Lesco® Sprayer Winners: Larry Atkins and Todd Northcutt (not pictured).
After making a push to expand their social media presence in 2017, TurfCare has enjoyed connecting with and was happy to have been visited by at the show, two lawn care social media stars, JC the Lawn Care Guy
and Jake The Lawn Kid. It was TurfCare's pleasure to meet with them both, learn about their interests, passion for the industry and their service to their community. JC received his love for the Lawn Care Industry years ago when his mother encouraged him to help out some people in his neighborhood who were unable to tend to their own yard. From there, he expanded his knowledge of the industry, from perfecting proper application techniques to testing and sharing innovative product results, as well as continuing to assist those in need in his community. Look for JC the Lawn Care Guy on Instagram ( @jc_thelawnacareguy
) for tips he shares as well as for his hashtag #LawnSquadNation. Jake The Lawn Kid who TurfCare was also excited to meet, is a talented young man who was first introduced and found his passion for the industry thanks to his neighbor, the Lawn Care Nut. Hardworking and currently running his own business, he manages and maintains lawns throughout his neighborhood.

where he shares his passion and lawn care experiences.
The 2017 GIE+EXPO was a great event for TurfCare™ to meet with a variety of landscape professionals, explain our services and discuss how we can better serve their community. Thanks to the TurfCare™ team for representing their company so well and a special thanks to all the event attendees and landscapers that stopped by the booth and made it a truly enjoyable and successful event! Also another special shout out to all the partners, clients and friends who stopped by to share updates, ideas and catch up on industry news; it's always so nice to see everyone at this outstanding event.
Huge thanks once again to the GIE+EXPO staff, sponsors and attendees. It was great to meet all who visited our booth and we hope to see you next year.

It’s common knowledge that applying too much fertilizer containing high percentages of readily available nitrogen and water soluble nutrients can result in burn damage to plants, but did you know that damage can still occur even if your application rate is correct?

When summer temperatures rise and drought conditions set in, turf quality can suffer, even in healthy turf. Turf that was green and lush during the spring can be at risk for turning brown and going dormant during the summer months. This can lead to insect and weed infestations as well as other diseases that can result in additional turf damage. Being aware of these abiotic stresses can help lawn care operators, turf managers, and homeowners take steps to mitigate the damage from these stressors.
