From the Ground Up, We Build Masterpieces

The Mark Smith Story

Every masterpiece starts from the ground up. Mark Smith didn't learn the turf business in a boardroom—he learned it in the trenches, quite literally. With dirt under his fingernails and grit in his spirit, he built Southern Turf Outdoors from nothing but hard work and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

"I've been in the mud, the rain, and the heat. That's where you learn what it really takes to build something that lasts."

— Mark Smith, Founder
