  • We moved into a home with a ¼ acre yard three years ago in January 2005. I knew we would have a challenge with the yard from the beginning. From the street the “lawn” appeared green and only walking into the yard could you view what the “green” really was – weeds and crabgrass! I really didn’t think too much about it until pulling weeds from the lawn was almost a full time job. I was pulling and digging weeds that had long roots that had been there for some time. This was not exactly a fun job! Then I noticed patches of bare spots where the weeds were missing and only clay soil. I sprinkled grass seed all over the yard both front and back from the local home improvement store the first year. I became discouraged and called a lawn care service the second year. They provided a combination of weed control and fertilization treatments designed to target every lawn care issue. Hummmmm, didn’t work on my lawn. I still didn’t have the grass that should be in the yard. And now I had mushrooms, and fungus growing between blades of grass. Finally, after listening to the Garden Sense Program every Saturday and hearing how and what products are available for the lawn. Turf Trust appeared a.o.k with me. I have applied Pronto, Turf Trust Fertilizer, and the certified grass seed recommended and guess what? I now have green grass in my yard! Without the Saturday program I truly don’t know if my lawn would ever have had any green grass. I wasn’t aware of “certified” grass seed and since using it there really is a big difference. So thank you for helping me establish a good lawn. - C. Kimmel - Brookeville, MD

     

  • I’m a huge believer of Turf Trust, I made the switch from the old 5-10-5 application years ago. With Turf Trust, I encounter fewer problems with my grass during the hot and humid summer months here in the Washington. I got on board with Mr. Eden’s program back when I took care of my parents lawn as a young kid. I quickly learned how important a good lawn care program can be. I love showing my house on Google Earth, you get a great perspective of how well Turf Trust works while looking down from the heavens and seeing how green my grass is compared to others in the neighborhood. Thanks for a fine product and the great advice I get from Mike and Randy at the Roozens in Silver Spring. - S. Stimpfle - Silver Spring, MD

     

  • I know Turf Trust is the Rolls Royce of fertilizers. There is no comparison to any of the other fertilizer out on the market. I've used name brands and off brands and my lawn has suffered for this mistake. This is probably true with any product but especially true with Turf Trust. "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR". I go back a long way having listened to Jack Eden for years. He was the one who started me using IBDU, and turned me on to Roozen's in Fort Washington, Md. I have used Turf Trust since it has been out and my lawn looks better than a golf course. I follow their program of twice in the fall and once in the spring and my lawn is the envy of the neighborhood. If I have any questions I call Jos Roozen at 301-248-2500, ( I have that number memorized), and he helps me out over the phone. He got me onto Plant Trust which I use on all my shrubs and trees. I cannot say enough good things about these products. It is without a doubt the finest quality products you can purchase for your lawn. Talk about curb appeal, people come by and always comment on how good my grass looks and want to know what I am putting on my lawn to make it look so green thru the summer when neighbors yards have faded. Turf Trust makes me look good. I keep an extra bag of Turf Trust with a pad of paper and pen in my garage so people can write down what I am using and where they can get it. Thank you for making such a great product, you make my job a lot easier. - J. Batchelder - Alexandria, VA

     

  • These are great products and I have been using them religiously for some time with excellent results. I recommend them to all of my friends and acquaintances. - K. Carr - Upper Marlboro, MD

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for 3 years and I am known as the neighborhood "garden guru" because of my consistently green and healthy lawn. - K. Manning - Potomac, MD

     

  • Six years ago we built a house on two acres of never before used family land. Three quarters of the back acre is lined with white pine trees, and the thousands of pine needles have made it very hard to grow anything but crab grass. In September I purchased the certified seed and Turf Trust from Wolftrap Nursery. Just two short months later I can already see a uniformity of color and coverage taking hold. I'm sold on the product and the radio show. Thank you so much! - B. Boggs - Great Falls, VA

     

  • We began using Plant Trust this spring for all of our shrubs and trees. We were so surprised how well our shrubs looked after one application. We noticed how well the trees looked this Fall. Everything i n our yard is looking great because of the Plant Trust. This spring we will most likely try the Turf Trust for our lawn. - J. Marsh - Haymarket, VA

     

  • Hello Mr. Roozen, I wish I had heard you 26 years ago. I have tried doing myself with Scott products that did not do well. Then we hired ChemLawn for several years, they would spray from the truck. I don't know what they used, but that did not go well either. After that we tried, Natural lawn, don't know what was the product, except it was granules, that also did not help the lawn. I have tried and listened to others of not cutting too close and watering more often, but it is not until I followed your advise that lawn has improved tremendously. I took your advise and applied the Turf Trust in August of this year, and after 8 weeks, as you recommended, applied in October. With only two applications, the lawn has improved so very much, the grass is so green and lushes as a real natural carpet. Folks who have visited during the holidays wanted to know what we did for our lawn. I wish had listen to " Garden Sense" earlier. Thank you Mr.Roozen. - J. Bahrgava - Silver Spring, MD

     

  • My husband and I have listened to your program from it's early years. We have grown in knowledge and watched our lawn grow to become the envy of our neighbors. Today a lush green grass covers our yard while others are brown and sparse and full of weeds. We have provide your calendar and promote your radio program to anyone who shows interest. You have made it easy for dummies to grow grass and lets not forget tomatoes too. - I. Forsbacka - Beltsville, MD

     

  • Growing up in NYC, the only green things we knew where: green traffic lights, green paint and St Patrick's day. Of course when I finally had a real yard, I assumed all fertilizers were one and the same and used the "Big Box" store stuff. NOT! Well after several years of an ugly lawn, I thought about just concreting my entire yard (NY style) with green colored concrete! Then I heard about and used Turf Trust. Wow, my lawn after only one season looks better than any green concrete I could have mixed! I now only use Turf Trust and boy are my NY friends amazed at my "green" thumb. Turf Trust...Gotta luv it! - J. Diaz - Vienna, VA

     

  • We used Turf Trust on our lawn in Bethesda for years with outstanding results. When we moved to the Nashville, TN area this summer, we took three bags with us and can tell you that it works miracles in Tennessee as well. Even though we have had a hot, dry summer, our lawn is the best in this neighborhood. Thanks for a wonderful product that we will be ordering over the internet so we can have it shipped to us. - T. Leveck - Lebanon, TN

     

  • For our 39 yrs. of marriage my husband was the gardener. He installed drains, turf, put in plants and flowers. I just admired and bragged about what he did. When he died last year, I did not know the difference between a flower and a weed. Hearing Garden Sense one Saturday and listening to Mr. Roozen, I decided to take notes. All he kept t alking about was Turf Trust. So that is how I began. I bought Turf Trust and followed the directions spreading it on our very small two sectioned front lawn as a test. As I live on a half acre lot, the front was my planned test area. The lawn now looks very green. I cut it to a 4 inch height and was amazed. This stuff really works! By using Turf Trust I learned the lawn can look and be healthier than it was before and that this beginner can produce good results! - M. Heubusch - Alexandria, VA

     

  • My yard was completely covered in crab grass. Turf trust is helping to rid it as well as giving my new grass seedlings the great start that they need. - B. Arnone - Silver Spring, MD

     

  • I was having a conversation with a young man with an accent at Roozen Garden Center in Fort Washington Maryland. I had some concerns about the nitrogen in fertilizers and how it may affect my lawn in the hot summer months. My lawn at the time was an average lawn. I have a sprinkler system, but my lawn was not as full and green as I thought it could be. The good gentleman told me about turf Trust and gave me a printed lawn renovation program schedule sheet. He told me, Turf Trust fertilizer is the only fertilizer I will ever need. I purchased two bags of the fertilizer, went home and applied the fertilizer to my lawn. After a few weeks, I had my lawn cut at about 4” and I noticed a full green look. At the time of the second cut, I noticed a richer, thicker lawn with a deep green color. All that week, I received comments from my neighbors stating that my lawn looked like carpet. I had not thought about it quit like that, but, after considering what was said, I thought to myself, it does look like carpet. I applied the fertilizer in June, and I did not apply anything else all summer long. My lawn retained the full luster look and green color during the hot summer months. I quit familiar with all types of fertilizers from Urea to the Scotts and I have not had results like what I received from turf Trust. This is good stuff! It is like my lawn was on steroids. I was left with a dilemma; do I let my neighbors in on my secret? I did tell them about it; they purchase it and are now enjoying the benefits. - D. Simon - Ft. Washington, MD

     

  • I started using Turf Trust last fall and made another application this spring. Although I never watered my lawn during the recent drought, my lawn stayed greener than those of my neighbors who watered only sparingly or not at all. I'm a believer and have used Turf Trust again this fall and will continue to do so regularly. - E. Bergamini - Rockville, MD

     

  • This past fall we embarked on trying to renovate our front lawn. When we started, it was mostly a little grass and a lot of weeds and it looked terrible. We downloaded the schedule for renovating your lawn and followed all the steps including putting down the Turf Trust. With the horrid summer heat lasting through October, it was slow growing and I was back and forth to Roozen's in Silver Spring for advice, Speed Zone, certified grass seed and more Turf Trust for the winter. For the first time in years, I actually have a green grass lawn. This weekend we are spreading the last application of Turf Trust for the winter and I fully expect that this spring, it will look even better! - M. Bodmer - Derwood, MD

     

  • I used Turf Trust the 1st time in mid September 2007 after hearing about it on WMAL Garden Sense. Can't believe how thick and green my grass has gotten since using this product in only one application. I've used Scotts' program, and the 3 years I've used it yielded only a so-so lawn and high weed. Tried Southern States and it didn't fair any better. Just one application of Turf Trust has made my lawn look as lush and green as the one person in my neighborhood who has the perfect lawn that everyone admires. Now I can say my lawn looks almost just as good as his. Using Turf Trust makes me feel as if I cheated my way to a beautiful lush lawn without all the expense and hard work. Can't wait to put down my 2nd application in late November to see how well my lawn will do through winter. - Bonnarith Tes - Bristow, VA

     

  • My favorite lawn ranger (my husband Mike) loves Turf Trust. He began using it after hearing about it on Garden Sense--he says he sees such better, stronger grass, better color, and that the lawn doesn't get damaged as quickly under stressful conditions. We love Betty's Azalea Ranch, and we LOVE Turf Trust. - C. Brooks - Chantilly, VA

     

  • I was using Scott's products for years and heard the radio show one week. I went to the Carroll Garden's in Westminster, MD. I changed to Turf Trust products and I can see the difference from Scott's products. I put down 2 bags of Turf Trust lawn food and grass seed for fall overseeding. Thanks for all the tips--- so long Scott's - J. Paige - Owings Mills, MD

     

  • It works and its the only fertilizer I need or use. - M. Parent - Rockville, MD

     

  • I have used Turf Trust last two years after learning about it on WMAL. My lawn has improved significantly. I use the lawn calender provided on the Turf Trust web site. I recommend use of this product. - J. Wunderly - Chantilly, VA

     

  • My retreat after a long stressful week at the office is my garden, my lawn, it has to be inviting and healthy. After listening to your radio show for over a year, I decided to try Turf Trust. This product actually made my lawn look like a pasture, a heavenly carpet. Turf Trust enhanced the depth of color and density of the grass, helped controlling the weeds. I am taking care of my lawn the correct way, I don't need to hire a lawn service anymore! Thanks for a great product.!! - G. Chartos - Potomac Falls, VA

     

  • No doubt about it, Turf Trust is the best fertilizer made. My lawn is the greenest lawn in my neighborhood. People ask me what is my secret and my answer is Turf Trust and a little water. My dad who is no longer with us on this great earth would be proud of my lawn. He loved to have a beautiful lawn. Dad used Turf Trust for years before anyone heard of it. Jack Eden from Garden of Eden Radio Show told my dad about Turf Trust. Turf Trust sure makes lawn care easier. Thank you, - R. Stastny - Ruxton, MD

     

  • Plain and simple, Turf Trust works. It amazes if people were to go out and try to find something that is better. No such product exists. If everyone would just listen to you and go and get their own Turf Trust, before long they will be sending in their own testimonials. Thanks for a great Product!! - S. Jablonski - Fairfax, VA

     

  • Wow ... what a amazing product! My home is close to BWI airport and I travel frequently. So, a few weeks ago I was at a window seat and noticed that during our approach we were on a path that would fly us near my neighborhood. Even from several thousand feet in the air I could quickly locate my home. The obvious feature was my dark green lawn thanks to Turf Trust. No other lawn could compare with such an amazing result, and I know many of my neighbors use expensive lawn care services. I have been using Turf Trust for several years and have seen my lawn greatly improve. Virtually no weeds since the turf is so dense and vigorous and the deep green color is something I used to see only on the best golf courses. Now I have that same result right in my own back yard. Thank you Turf Trust! - S. Bruza - Halethorpe, MD

     

  • My lawn has never been more beautiful. All my neighbors are asking, and I tell them TurfTrust! - B. McCauslin - Aldie, VA

     

  • I think Turf Trust is great. I moved a year ago to a house with an average yard, and after a few treatments, the yard looks great! - T. Ruzic - Fairfax, VA

     

  • Turf Trust is a wonderful product! I am so impressed with the way my lawn looks after applying Turf Trust! It doesn't compare to any other lawn renovation product out there. I tried paying the 'professionals' and did not get the results I have with Turf Trust! Thank you for such a wonderful product. - M. Putnam - Fairfax, VA

     

  • I really like Turf Trust. I have big trees in my front lawn and have never been able to keep my lawn green throughout the summer, as I suspect the trees take much of the water. Even though we had a significant drought this past summer, my lawn was far greener, far longer this summer than ever before. I plan to use Turf Trust forever. - G. Taylor - Bowie, MD

     

  • TURF TRUST WORKS!!! We moved into our home here in March and the grass looked like it needed some TLC! It was Spring but the grass did not have that lush look it should have at that time of the year. So I went to Betty's Azalea Ranch and purchased several bags of "Turf Trust" and lo and behold the yard greened up almost over night! So we are ready to give it the fall feeding...can't wait to see how it will look next spring! - E. Cammer - Winchester, VA

     

  • I took over caring for my lawn after my divorce 3 years ago. My lawn at that time was 1/3 grass and 2/3 weeds. I started using Turf Trust at the recommended intervals and now have a lawn that is green and weed free. Using your recommended products has made a rather ugly lawn into a beautiful, green, weed free lawn. Thank You. - G. Bray - Fairfax, VA

     

  • We have been using Turf Trust for two years now, following the guide in the WMAL Garden Sense website. Despite very minimal watering this summer (can't afford the big water bills), our lawn withstood the drought-like conditions this summer and with the 2 big thunderstorms a couple of weeks ago, our lawn is looking lush, green, and healthy and begging to be mowed every week--looks like springtime instead of end of August! (I was happy to find Turf Trust at our local Hollin Hall Hardware Store on Fort Hunt Rd). - G. Perkins - Alexandria, VA

     

  • Turf Trust has made an amazing difference in my lawn. Everyone comments on how lush and green it is despite the horrid heat this summer. I have given several friends copies of the turf trust lawn care schedule. Thanks to Dave and Mike in the Silver Spring store are true and trusted lawn care professionals. We finally got our yellow azaleas we purchased from you to bloom. - R. Britton - Rockville, MD

     

  • We live on a major commute road in the Gaithersburg area. Each year, we strive to maintain and add to the flower garden which covers most of the front yard. Our goal is to have several plants in bloom from Spring to Fall. This past year, we fertilized with Plant Trust. My wife and I were shocked at the improvement in plant health and with the flower displays! Now, as the “rush hour” traffic goes past our wonderful display, we get frequent complements from the commuters. When people from the town meet us, they say, “You live at the house with the beautiful flowers!” It makes us happy to share Plant Trust’s success with so many people. - J. Ruspi - Laytonsville, MD

     

  • I took over caring for my lawn after my divorce 3 years ago. My lawn at that time was 1/3 grass and 2/3 weeds. I started using Turf Trust at the recommended intervals and now have a lawn that is green and weed free. Using your recommended products has made a rather ugly lawn into a beautiful, green, weed free lawn. Thank You. - G. Bray - Fairfax, VA

     

  • In 2002 my construction project disturbed 5000 square feet of existing lawn. The following spring, I began the restoration in earnest. I began the process of establishing my new lawn during the months of March through May. The new tall fescue turf slowly rooted with a thin coverage of new growth. Due to living on land with a well, my watering was minimal. Then in late August with a beginnings of a new lawn, I heard about Turf Trust lawn fertilizer. I was looking for a product for my fall feeding application that was a slow feeder that would encourage my new lawn to thicken-up. Sure enough, with sufficient rainfall and 2 fall feedings of Turf Trust application at the specified rate my new lawn responded quite well. In the following spring the lawn was well established. With the fall feeding in September, I achieved a lawn that was restored and the construction activity was but a memory. Since I used Turf Trust for the restoration, I expanded my Turf Trust application over the entire lawn. The results are outstanding. I have a dense turf that is a rich green color. The turf is so dense that weeds and crabgrass are crowded out. I now use Turf Trust regularly and find the product to be a superb lawn fertilizer. - F. Cirincione - Parkton, MD

     

  • My son wanted our lawn to be as beautiful as the neighbor across the street. So, he asked the grounds keeper at GMU what to do. There was no improvement. I started following Jas Roozen's advice using Turf Trust. My lawn has surpassed the neighbors! About 7 yrs. ago, I planted dozens of daffodils. They came up faithfully, but never bloomed. Last yr. I put Plant Trust in the beds. This Spring they all bloomed! I am now a faithful Plant Trust & Turf Trust user and tell everyone about my success. - A. Holland - Burke, VA

     

  • I have been listening to your radio show for two years and last spring decided to take your advice and try turf trust. I am pleased with the results although drought conditions this year have played havoc with the ability of your product to do its job. My lawn is now beginning to come back and the quality of your product is beginning to show. I plan on continuing my use of Turf Trust this fall. Thanks for a great product. - B. Leggett - Herndon, VA

     

  • For 26 years I have fought the war to have a decent lawn. My neighbor to the East has a cow pasture and the neighbor to the North has a horse pasture. I tried various products including the 4-Step ones. My lawn looked like a pasture, patches of grass and lots of weeds. This past year I used the products mentioned on Garden Sense which includes Turf Trust. What a difference! In just one season, the weeds were under control and and my grass has become thick with a healthy and rich green appearance. Now my grandkids like to play on it! Thanks Turf Trust. - J. Ruspi - Laytonsville, MD

     

  • In 2007, I have used both products and have found the performance of each to be superior to other name brand products. I will continue to use Turf Trust products in the future. The use of Plant Trust greatly improved the growth, overall appearance, and the vivid color of the blooms on the plants. The Turf Trust enhanced the depth of color and thickness/density of the grass. - R. Dillon - Woodbridge, VA

     

  • I tried to grow flowers galore that my spouse might delight;

    She whose love of gardens is infectious,

    So that from a seedling as from a garlanded door,

    A brilliant bud emerges whose scent lingers in the garden memory forever more.

     

    But alas! As soil slips through my clumsy fingers

    Sunset's sweet rainbow radiance does not reward my efforts.

    Where are the flowers that I hoped to see?

    What am I to do?!

    For store bought blossoms are trifling to a Gardner.

     

    Then - in a fleeting dream, as rapid as the wind

    Plant Trust sprang to mind!  I knew then that I had found the solution!

    And, as the dew dampened dawn broke,

    I began to apply Plant Trust before my spouse awoke.

    The days came and the days went,

    But on my beloved's birthday I (and Plant Trust) delivered a heaven sent gift.

    She saw fragrant flowers to the left, and bountiful blossoms to the right.

     

    What can I say but:

    Plant Trust I love thee full well and the reasons why I will always hasten to tell!

     

    - G. Simeon - Arlington, VA

     

  • I must admit, I don't maintain or do much in the way of upkeep of our large yard with the exception of an occasional pulling out of the stray weed, and watering the flowers. Which is precisely why I am thankful for Turf Trust. Since we started using Turf Trust on our previous lawn about four years ago, and now in our new home, my husband is able to maintain our lush lawn with less effort on his part as well as from me. - J. Catignani - Gambrills, MD

     

  • Thank you for all your research Mr. Roozen. I like that I can have a beautiful lawn while knowing I am doing my part in keeping the Chesapeake Bay clean. Two green thumbs up for Turf Trust. - S. Netcott - Alexandria, VA

     

  • When my kids were growing up, we had no time to take care of the grass and now when I look at old pictures, I'm embarrassed. There were big, dirt patches and the grass was all crabgrass. I've now been using Turf Trust for about three years and we have people stop and admire our lawn and we look at it and feel so proud. Thanks for a wonderful product. - D. Best - Bethesda, MD

     

  • ...Despite years of spending and effort in pursuit of the "perfect" lawn via different commercial service providers and self-applied, multi-step, annual lawn-care programs - there was always "something missing" in the results...UNTIL I tried TurfTrust. For the first time in 40+ years of home ownership, I can honestly say that I'm totally happy with my lawn's appearance. My Turf Trust lawn is now greener and thicker with far fewer weeds (...at far less cost and effort) than I've ever experienced before! If you use Turf Trust, you're ... a winner! - F. Murphy - Vienna, VA

     

  • When we bought our home 25 years ago the septic system was replaced due to the drain field leaking. What a mess. I tried for years to get decent grass to grow. I filled in with top soil and planted grass - year after year and all I could grow was a sparse thin lawn. I heard Alan Summers from Carroll Gardens speak about Turf Trust and how it could fix my problem lawn. Well I bought a bag, without much hope, and put it down in the fall. The lawn was much improved that next Spring. Then I bought another bag, then another, and another. I've been using it for about 4 years now and it's just beautiful! Even today, with no rain (I don't water due to being on a well) it still looks good. I'm SOLD on your Turf Trust. Thank you - V. Abel - Glen Arm, MD

     

  • I've been listening to Garden Sense for the last year or so and, of course, have heard all about the Turf Trust lawn program. I live in a townhouse but still got so frustrated with my lawn that I converted the rear yard to flower beds & gravel walkways. But I still had the front to contend with. For some reason the Turf Trust program really got my attention this year so I made an application this spring and I'm truly amazed at the "major" difference in my lawn. It has gotten so much thicker and greener than I've ever seen it. And this is with no overseeding! The truly amazing part is I'm not mowing any more frequently. It's unbelievable. - N. Louviere - Woodbridge, VA

     

  • Over the thirty years of our owning 3 different homes, only Turf Trust has been so consistently beneficial to our lawns! It works with nature, not against it, to provide all the essential nutrients that our lawn needs. It is one of two products we would personally endorse - Toyota and Turf Trust are on the same quality paradigm! - W. Mills - Towson, MD

     

  • ...I live in an established community which has many young couples moving in. Several of my neighbors are young families. Last spring a couple approached me and asked me how I get my lawn to look so good. I told them about Turf Trust. They were on the Scott's 5 step program. Today, a second young neighbor asked me what I did to make my lawn look so good. Once again, I told him about Turf Trust. Well, this man had no idea what fertilizer was. I told him can only be bought at real garden centers. In closing, let me say that this is the first season that I used TurfTrust for all three applications. I am a devoted listener to Alan Summers Garden Club radio show which turned me onto your product. - D. Gumnitzky - Baltimore, MD

     

  • Turf Trust is the best thing that happened to me, my wife and my lawn. I've been using Turf Trust since I heard Allan Summers at Carroll Gardens recommend it on his Saturday morning radio show. I initially was using the Scotts program and decided to give Turf Trust a try. WOW! The results were fantastic and I've been using it ever since. My lawn is the greenest and the thickest lawn in the neighborhood. I have had many neighbors ask what magic I was applying to my lawn. This spring I was even surprised to have several Lawn Services ask me what kind of fertilizer I was using to get my lawn looking so picture perfect. Of course I told them it was Turf Trust in the purple bag. Thank You Turf Trust for making our lawn look so good. - G. Lupi - Annapolis, MD

     

  • For years I was using a lawn service and convincing myself that there wasn't a better way to go. However, year after year I became more and more disappointed with the results as the summer started to heat up. Sure, my lawn looked great in the Spring, but whose didn't after a long winter rest? I finally took your advice that I hear every Saturday morning on Garden Sense and made my way to Betty's Azaela Ranch to pick up my supplies of Turf Trust and Plant Trust. After about a week, I noticed a really rich healthy color to my lawn and saw that my neighbors were looking over in envy. I was quick to tell them about my experience with Turf Trust and they have since followed suit. Aside from a healthy lawn, the most important factor to be about Turf Trust is how it is so much better for the environment since we don't have to use as much product as you would with the other brands. Thanks for the great show and product. Faithfully yours - M. Putnam - Fairfax, VA

     

  • I have been known in my neighborhood as the woman who hates lawns. Last year I began systematically replacing the grass in my front and back yard with beds of bushes and flowers. I listen to your show frequently and finally bought TurfTrust last fall but did not get around to using it. I put it out just in time this spring and was amazed a few weeks later when my long-neglected lawn began filling out very nicely. I started getting compliments from family and friends and am actually enjoying the lawn mowing and weed pulling. Now I wish I had used TurfTrust a lot sooner and am happily planning a large expanse of lawn in the front and back to set off my flower beds. Thanks for your wise advice... - C. Ortiz - Herndon, VA

     

  • Until two years ago I had a lawn service fertilizing my lawn. It was starting to get full of weeds; I asked them to PLEASE do something about the weeds. They sure did - they killed everything - including the grass. I told them "Leave my lawn alone-you're fired-I'll do it myself-with the help of Jos". I bought Turf Trust at Betty's Azalea Ranch, also the good seed Ros recommended, did everything Jos said to do in the Fall of 2005-06. I now have beautiful lush green grass. Now if I can just get the deer to stop eating all my bushes!! - B. Fearson - Oak Hill, VA

     

  • Turf trust keeps my lawn greener then anyone not using turf trust in my neighborhood in the summer and fall. I have bluegrass and since using turf trust my lawn no longer gets red thread disease. - S. Kowalewski - Abington, MD

     

  • We moved to Easton 3 years ago and found a soil and plants very different from where we use to live. It is clay and silt. We heard about Turf Trust on the Garden show and had a hard time finding it over here. We finally found some and have just been amazed with it. We wish we could use it on everything but can only do a little at a time. Thank you for a great product. - R. Griffith - Easton, MD

     

  • Each spring we were determined to make our lawn the best in the neighbor, but lack of time, watering, and the insistence that we do it ourselves, produced the same result.  We cultivated weeds, as well as a thin, burnt out lawn, that we cut too short.  Then my husband became a weekly listener of "Garden Sense" on WMAL.  Jos Roozen spoke so highly of Turf Trust and the applications sounded so simple, we decided to try it.  It certainly lived up to its promise and we are both delighted with the results.  With each application, the lawn has become thicker and the weeds fewer.  Thank you, Mr. Roozen and Turf Trust!!! - B. Eubanks - Fairfax Station, VA

     

  • I am so pleased with my yard. I am new to Turf Trust. Actually my back yard was the worst and now is the best. I had some vine type weed and there was almost no grass, now it is grass and few weeds. I can't wait to over seed this fall and see my wonderful yard next year. Love the product and thank you. - L.

  • Turf Trust has been very good to us. Our lawn is healthy and was better able to withstand the recent draught conditions. Great product! - R. Thibodeau - Aldie, VA

     

  • For nearly 2 years we have put Turf Trust through what I think has been the ultimate test. We recently moved to a house whose lawn had been terribly neglected for years and was nearly overrun with aggressive weeds, had a hodgepodge of grass types, and a wide variety of sun exposure. It was impractical to till the lawn and start over. We had seen how well Turf Trust worked on a healthy lawn but didn't know if it could also rehabilitate a lawn. We began fertilizing immediately and then seeded and attacked the weeds. After the first year, our neighbor said our lawn looked "like carpet." After 1 1/2 years I checked the pH and was shocked to find that our previously sour soil is now perfectly neutral. Turf Trust has made our grass robust enough that it can now stand up to the weeds and has filled in areas that probably haven't seen grass in a dozen years - and, of course, it has the trademark Turf Trust lush deep green color. I take a great deal of pride in my yard but I think the best and most reliable testimonials would come from my neighbors who have seen the dramatic changes. - J. Perreault - Gambrills, MD

     

  • We have a small, very shaded lawn. For years we tried all kinds of fertilizers and lawn care, even sod. It worked for a few weeks but then it died out. This year I finally convinced my husband to try the Turf Trust. So far, so good. The lawn is the best it has ever looked and is the fullest it has ever been. We plan to continue with your plan. - P. Del Guerico - Springfield, VA

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for 3 years, spreading it 3 times per year. My lawn is the quickest to green-up in the spring; the grass is so thick that the weeds are almost non existent. This means less money and time spreading weed killers. The grass during periods of stress is able to maintain its thickness. I live in a townhouse and my lawn is the envy of the street. They ask and I simply say, "Turf Trust". - J. Bollinger - Glen Burnie, MD

     

  • As an avid gardener, I have always tried to interest my spouse in my hobby. But as a lukewarm gardener at best, his interest waned with the deterioration of our lawn. Then Turf Trust came to the rescue! It's application revived both our lawn and his spirits so that now he is my eager helper. Thank You Turf Trust! - E. Takeugchi - Arlington, VA

     

  • I have used Turf Trust for over 3 years. Results consistently excellent. Never any "burn" spots as I had with other products. My lawn is "green" and healthy in appearence. When neighbor's ask how? I say Turf Trust! - N. Jackson - Fairfax, VA

     

  • Last year, the young girl that lives across the street remarked, what happened to your grass? ...Listening to the local garden show I heard Alan Summers talking exuberantly about Turf Trust - the one in the purple bag. Well, I tried it... The results are unbelievable! My lawn is thick and dark green. My neighbor...said "it looks like Ireland." The results are stunning. I never thought I'd be excited about the next application in (September). Thank you. Your product is truly outstanding. - L. Tanton - Baltimore, MD

     

  • Turf Trust is great. I first learned about Turf Trust on the Alan Summers show on WCBM 680. As Alan said first lay down the application and wait a few weeks to see what happens. My lawn is greener and as Alan Summers, the grass just started to fill in both thicker and into blank spots. It is the only fertilizer I will use on my lawn (and garden). I buy 4 to 5 bags at a time. I will be using your product three times per year (2 summer 1 fall) as Alan recommends. Great Job! Turf Trust!! - D. Flannery - Jarrettsville, MD

     

  • We have owned our home in McLean for over 12 years. The property is .9 acres of towering tulip poplars, dogwoods, and hardwood trees. When we purchased the home, we bought it "as is", which meant the yard was a total mess. As we worked on the overgrown vines, our neighbor came over and thanked us for mowing the lawn, which he said had not been mowed for 7 YEARS! So the challenge begins. Once the vines and small trees were removed it was time to seed and fertilize. Unfortunately we were uneducated consumers, we regularly fertilized with Scott's Weed and Feed and every year we were disappointed with the results. One year we purchased a service of quarterly liquid lawn care. Once again despite the high cost we were disappointed. Our frustration with this lawn mounted as we knew the potential of this beautiful one acre property. About one year ago, we began listening to Garden Sense and Jos on WMAL as we would drive early Saturday morning to our river house in the Northern Neck. At that time we learned about Turf Trust and Jos's excellent advice on all topics related the the Yard and Garden. It was one of those "AH HA" moments and we went to Betty's Azalea Ranch, bought 8 bags and eagerly drove home to apply our new found treasure. Once applied this spring, we watched our yard magically green to a lush emerald color, never before had we seen such a transformation. My husband is a raving fan of Turf Trust and proclaimed its results to friends, co-workers and family. Our friend has had a similiar experience with Turf Trust and he has also communicated his results to his friends, and family. We are hooked on this product and will NEVER use anything else. At night we sit on our deck overlooking the lily pond and our one acre of lush, green grass, extremely satisfied with Turf Trust. Thank you Jos! - M. Zweifel - McLean, VA

     

  • Turf Trust is the best lawn fertilizer product invented. My neighbors can't believe the results that I get using your product. They pay $45 a month for lawn care and it doesn't compare to Turf Trust. I got my brother started on Turf Trust. He works in the landscaping business and he is sold on your product. We both like to do outside work ourselves and will use nothing but Turf Trust. - D. Dore - Mt. Airy, MD

     

  • Jos, just wanted you to know that the results of my using Turf Trust this past year have been fantastic. My neighbor did a Google-map search on our address and when viewed from a satellite our neighborhood shows my lawn as standing out with bright green color against the other lawns in the neighborhood! I checked it out when he told me and it was true. My yard looks like it was painted green. Thanks again. - R. Korden - Cheverly, MD

     

  • I live in Nutter's Crossing golf community and people that manage the golf course have asked me what i am doing to make my lawn so beautiful...I just tell them Turf Trust. I always have people asking me as I am working in the yard and it really makes you feel good to help someone. I just love your product. - J. Baraby - Salisbury, MD

     

  • We have been using Turf Trust since we first learned of it on WMAL years ago - when we could get it at Giant! Now we drive all over in order to get it. One independent nursery informed me a bit sullenly that "it was all anyone asked for anymore!" No wonder. Our yard looks really good, and several friends and neighbors are now using it as well. We're especially pleased, also with Plant Trust - one feeding and we're done! And last year my hydrangias had 63+ blooms on four plants - I finally tired of counting them. One neighbor wanted to know just why my spreading yews were doing so much better than hers and I told her to try Plant Trust. Thanks for a great line of products. - J. Jenkins - Potomac, MD

     

  • I had a yard that was neglected one year and no rain the next. Last fall for the first time I used Turf Trust and again early this spring. What a difference! A few people told me it was just like every other brand. Well, they are not saying that anymore. Even the man who cut some trees for me remarked how good it looked and asked if I used a lot of chemicals. There were a lot of bare spots and there are not anymore, I really love the Turf Trust, makes someone like me, who knows little about gardening look like a pro. Thanks again. - L. Sylvester - Bel Air, MD

     

  • I have lived in VA for over 25 years, always hired a lawn service. Last one used Scott's - all products. Lawn looked OK. This year I said to my wife I can do this following the Jos Roozen's method based on Turf Trust for much less money. I cannot believe what has happened. Using the Turf Trust system, my grass is thick and green, no weeds. I have never seen it so green and the application was so easy. I do not think I will waste money on any other product or lawn service as long as I live here. - J. Nicklas - Burke, VA

     

  • Since moving into our home September 26, 1966, my husband has tried everything to make our lawn beautiful. We started with sod in the front and weeds in the back (standard new home lawn). He coaxed more grass, tried all the bags of stuff in hardware stores, had a chemical lawn service one year, but we always had patchy grass and plenty of weeds. After listening to Garden Sense on WMAL, last fall my husband decided to try turf trust . . . today we have THE MOST BEAUTIFUL emerald green carpet of grass in the neighborhood. - B Witt - District Heights, MD

     

  • Turf Trust is a wonderful product! We used it this spring on our front lawn, and within a matter of a few days, the lawn turned green and looked beautiful!! Even with the shortage of rain, etc, and the crazy weather, the lawn still looks nice. Turf Trust is the only product for us, from now on!! - P. Barton - Alexandria, VA

     

  • For forty years I've bounced between commercial brands of fertilizers and weed killers, (Scotts, K-Mart brands, Vigoro, etc.) laboring with four or more applications annually, not including the several weed killer trips around my yard. The time consumption, as well as the cost, was exasperating. Then, after listening to "Garden Sense," I saw the light. In October of 2006, I applied my first application of "Turf Trust." All winter long my grass was a deep green with a distinctive line between my lawn and my two neighbors. In March, 2007, I applied another application (in a criss-cross manner) and today my lawn is thicker than it ever has been, a more deep green color and even filling in at places where I never was able to grow grass. Even though the cost of "Turf Trust" is a bit higher than the commercial brands, in the long objective it does the job with fewer applications, it provides a better lawn color, it springs forth with fullness that's unbelieveable and does some miraculous planting where I could never grow grass previously. Thank you "Turf Trust," as a 79 years old do it yourselfer, you have captivated me into your fold of fans. I keep asking myself, "Where have you been all my life?" But of course, I'll have the pleasure of using "Turf Trust" for the next twenty five years, so I should be pleased. God bless you and Mother Earth for the beauty you provide. - A. Koran - Silver Spring, MD

     

  • After using Turf Trust for two years, my lawn went from the worst lawn in the neighborhood to one of the best. Of course I use Dimension for the crabgrass and liquid weed killer for the broadleaf weeds, but I still think it is the Turf Trust that made the most improvement. - D. Stolte - Gaithersburg, MD

     

  • We have lived in our residence for the past 4 and half years and have used organic fertilizers and one year a fertilizer bought at Home Depot. Yet our grass continued to be invaded by weeds and did so-so. Last fall and early this spring we put Turf Trust on our 1 acre yard. Our grass is thicker and greener than it ever has been in the past. We are extremely happy with Turf Trust. - L. Hunter - Gaithersburg, MD

     

  • My roses bloomed early and vigorously this year on Plant Trust. There seem to be more buds also. This combined with other directions from Jos such as cutting them back in the dormant season, and using Lime Sulfur, have kept them healthy so far. The lawn complements the roses as soon as the temperature went up this spring with a good green growth. The Barlexas I planted last fall also did well. The only challenge will be the lawn getting enough water from nature or watering. Using Green Light dimension there is no crabgrass. I spot treated with Gordon's SpeedZone for clover and dandelions... - J. Dvorsky - Laurel, MD

     

  • Since starting a lawn program this past spring, using Turf Trust, neighbors have been stopping by, asking what products I have been using.  Many have been surprised that I don't use a lawn service, or Scotts products.  Turf Trust, with proper watering, keeps my lawn lush and green.  It's the envy of my neighborhood. - B. Hildebrand - Dagsboro, DE

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for 5 yrs.  It is the best fertilizer that I could find. There is no comparison. I have the best lawn in the neighborhood. Thank you Turf Trust. - R. Stastny - Baltimore, MD

     

  • ...I have been using Turf and Trust for several years now on my front lawn, and it had demonstrably benefited both the Zoysia grass and tall fescue (and even the leftover springs of K31, clover, and weeds) I had growing there.  Zoysia spread robustly where I wanted it, Fescue was the color of a fir tree, and my do-it yourself shoestring-budget lawn was always healthy and drought tolerant when the late spring/summertime dry spell/salt burn from the neighbor's lawn services kicked in.... - K. Gilbert - Springfield, VA

     

  • After listening to WMAL radio (AM 630), I applied turftrust to my lawn in March and am really happy. We have had very little rain in Northern Virginia and with just a couple of waterings over the last month and cutting the grass at 3.5" my lawn is a bright green and all my neighbors are prettywell burnt out. The guys that have the services are really envious. My daughter just moved into a new house and used something from Lowes and with a lot of watering her lawn is so-so. Her September Birthday gift from me will be a bag of Turf Trust which will arrive just in time. - J. Dibble - Woodbridge, VA

     

  • Good Morning, I was very skeptical about what Turf Trust could do for my 2 acres of lawn. I listen to Alan on Saturdays and heard about Turf Trust. So back in March, I went to Carroll Gardens and purchased enough Turf Trust to feed about one acre. To my amazement my lawn looks like a patchwork quilt. Much greener and thicker on the parts where I used Turf Trust. The rest of this summer I will be using Turf Trust on the remaining part of my lawn. I am very pleased with your product, it seemed to work immediately and definitely gave me the results I was looking for. - H. Oberc - Highland, MD

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for the past two years and all I can say is that my lawn is thicker, greener and my neighbors ask me what I am doing to my lawn. "It is so thick" Good product. Thanks, - C. Reiner - Burke, VA

     

  • Hi there: Just want to share with you a moment I had the other day while looking out of our front window.  The trees on our street are being cut back by by a Tree Service Co.  One of the Superintendents, getting out of the way of the falling branches and stepped back onto our 2 year old Turf Trust lawn.  He jumped and I saw him look down and he called one of the other men over to look at it.  I loved it, I am sure they have seen enough lawns to know a good one, when they see IT.  Turf Trust is all you say it is and more!!!!!  Thanks for being on WMAL.... - B. Ryan - Annandale, VA

     

  • Great Product!!  I used it for the first time in March and saw beautiful results in a few weeks.  Had the best compliments in April.  I had hurt my back and had to hire a professional lawn cutter to cut my lawn.  The first question he asked me was "who's lawn service do you use to keep your lawn looking so good?"  The next week, my mailman asked the same question.  We've had that same mailman for years and he never before commented on my lawn.  I certainly will stick with Turf Trust forever. - W. Kosydar - Laurel, MD

     

  • I love it.  However, I have a very large property so I buy 3 bags so my front looks super... all of my neighbors comment.  They all want to know what i use. My property is the first house in our development.  Beckly Estates.  People can't believe how nice it looks, greener, thicker and healthier.  Thanks for such a great product.  I drive 36 miles 1 way to Carroll Gardens to get it twice a season. - T. Schisler - Monkton, MD

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for several years.  Each year the lawn gets thicker with less weeds.  Turf Trust is making the lawn so thick it is choking out the weeds.  Virtually everyone who visits comments on the lawn.  I recently had a greenskeeper from a local golf course at the house.  He wanted to know what I was doing to the lawn to get it deep green and thick.  Of couse, I told him about Turf Trust.  Turf Trust has made the lawn as dense as a zoysia lawn, however unlike zoysia the lawn is green year round and does not turn brown in the winter.  In fact, the Turf Trust lawn looks better in the winter than most other lawns do in the summer.  This is the most amazing lawn care product on the market.  I recommend Turf Trust every time lawns come up in a conversation.  Thank you for making the perfect lawn attainable and easy. - B. King - Phoenix, MD

     

  • I started using Turf Trust 2/3 years ago and I love it!  I had tried the Scott's fertilizer, the Spring, Summer, Fall program and was very disappointed.  My lawn did not look like my neighbors' well kept lawns (they use professionals).  Then I read about your garden radio show in the Washington Post and being an early bird, decided to listen.  That is when I started using the Turf Trust program and it is working for me.  One neighbor was very impressed that I did my lawn myself so I told him about Turf Trust.  He went and bought some and his grass is looking very nice now too. It is a good product. - J. Castelli - Reston, VA

  •  

  • This is my first year using Turf Trust, which I heard about on the Saturday Morning radio garden show on WCBM with Allen Summers.  He recommends it all the time, so I decided to try it since I have a lot of weeds and some thin spots.  This year our grass is thicker and greener than ever and even though it has no weed killer, we have a lot less weeds because the grass is so lush!  The man at the garden center I went to tried to talk me into something else that golf course owners use with weed killer but I said, " I want the Turf Trust!"  I really think Turf Trust works wonders and am glad I stuck to my guns!! - C. Frazer - Towson, MD

     

  • Jos, following your advice on the radio show, I have been using Turftrust purchased from Mike and Randy at your Silver Spring Store for the third year with good results.  My lawn gradually improved and is now in great shape.  (I had been) using mostly Scott's Turfbuilder in prior years and big box store seeds with poor results.  I am no longer frustrated with my lawn.  What amazes me the most is that I have no more thatch buildup every year.  I used to rake up dead grass every fall filling many bags and containers.  I use an electric mulching mover now and no longer have to bag the clippings.  My work is simplified.  - E. Bran

  • ges

     

  • I have a large lawn. I used turf Trust only in the front yard by my front door because that is all I could afford then and it is like a completely different yard from the rest!! Amazing!!! I love it!!! Thank you.  p.s. I am a big fan of the show!! - C. Gallerizzo - Highland, MD

     

  • I have been using Turf Trust for 5 years and my lawn continues to thicken and look greener every season... - W. Lins - Towson, MD

     

  • This is the third season I've been using Turf Trust and WOW what a difference in my lawn.  It's not available in my area so I either drive to Maryland or have it shipped to me.  No 4 step program for my lawn. I'll be trying Plant Trust for the first time this season for all my trees and shrubs. Keep the great products coming. Thanks - S. Boucher - Camp Hill, PA

  •  

  • Over the past 25 years, I have used Lawn Doctor, Davey Tree Service and Chem Lawn.  With each, my lawn got progressively worse.  Finally, in the fall of 2005, after listening to Garden Sense on WMAL, I put down my first and second treatments of Turf Trust.  In 2006, I put down all three, plus Dimension.  And this year, both TurfTrust and Dimension in the spring.  And in late April, I sprayed Speed Zone.  My lawn looks better than it has in many, many years. I've convinced one of my neighbors to use Turf Trust, too.  Now if I can just do the same to the two other people in this court . . . Oh, I also have a small stream in my backyard that eventually feeds into the Bay, so of course, I wanted to keep all that (phosphorus) from going there as well.  THANKS!  TurfTrust is a miracle worker.  And there is nothing as good as Jos' advice - and his kidding of Rick Fowler! - S. Drew - Olney, MD
