Computer nerd by day - turf nerd by night.
My name is Jason and The Turf Nerd started by combining my love for the lawn with my profession of being a web developer. I have been programming for over 15 years and I have always been fascinated with numbers and trying to calculate everything. All my lawn plans and calculations started in Microsoft Excel and then decided to take that one step further and thus was the start of this site. My hope is to share some of what I know and have learned with others within the DIY community to help achieve the greenest lawn possible while incoporating IPM.
I moved into my current property in 2020 and started with a salad bar, got it back into shape just to perform a full renovation in the fall of 2022. My property isn't much at a little over 7,000 square feet, but it's the perfect size affordability wise. Not much else to say other than I love me some nice grass. I find landscaping to be very relaxing as it allows me to get away from the daily 9-5 desk grind. I also feel it adds to the visual appeal of my house (can't let my neighbors dominate - even though they try). My wife says I might spend WAY too much time outside, but is that even possible?!
What started out as a small hobby with creating an instagram page has turned into much more than that. I have found a community that feels the same way about their yard as I do. I have learned SOO much from many and will always try to give back when I can. I enjoy watching the progression of a "once salad bar" to now something I'm not embarassed to call my lawn.
I have been fortunate enough to work with several great companies within this short period of my lawn journey and hope to work with many more.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions/comments/suggestions you may have or just to talk about your lawn!
P.S. I like metal, tattoos, fast cars and long walks on the beach.
