At Hummer, our commitment to excellence begins with credentials you can trust. Our team holds industry-recognized certifications in turf management, field construction, irrigation systems, athletic safety standards, and more as proof that we deliver professional-grade surfaces backed by expert knowledge. These certifications are more than credentials; they reflect the training, ongoing education, and rigorous standards we apply to every project, so you can be confident your field is built, maintained, and managed according to the highest benchmarks.

Certified Field Builder – Natural Turf

The Certified Field Builder (CFB) designation, awarded by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), represents one of the highest professional standards in natural-grass field construction. Earning this certification requires meeting strict experience requirements and passing a comprehensive exam covering field design, construction techniques, drainage and irrigation systems, turf performance, and long-term maintenance.

This credential confirms that Hummer’s field builders possess the technical expertise, construction knowledge, and hands-on experience necessary to deliver safe, high-performance athletic surfaces. It’s a mark of professionalism our clients can trust—and one more reason Hummer is chosen to build and renovate fields at the highest levels of play.

Sports Turf Managers Association

The Sports Field Managers Association (SFMA) Certified Sports Field Manager (CSFM) designation is one of the most respected credentials in the turf-management industry. Earning this certification requires extensive professional experience, continuing education, and mastery of best practices in natural-grass maintenance, agronomy, safety standards, and facility operations.

This certification demonstrates that Hummer’s field managers understand not only how to maintain a high-quality surface, but how to manage its performance through every season, weather pattern, and usage condition. It reinforces our commitment to athlete safety, field consistency, and the science-based practices that keep natural-grass systems healthy, resilient, and game-ready.
