Get to Know Hummer.

For more than 50 years, Hummer Turfgrass Systems – known in the industry as Hummer – has been a trusted leader in the design, construction, renovation, and maintenance of natural-grass athletic fields.

Founded in 1972 by Bob Hummer and based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Hummer has earned its reputation by delivering high-performance playing surfaces for colleges and universities, professional organizations, private clubs, school districts, multi-field complexes, and championship-level golf courses. From laser-graded stadium builds to multi-field maintenance programs and specialty sand-based systems, every natural turf athletic field reflects our commitment to engineering surfaces that play better, last longer, and elevate the athlete experience.

What sets Hummer apart is our ability to handle every phase of field construction in-house. Our experienced team manages excavation, drainage, irrigation, root-zone engineering, sod installation, infield reconstruction, and ongoing field care with precision and accountability. Supported by specialized equipment, industry-recognized certifications like Certified Field Builder (ASBA) and Certified Sports Field Manager (SFMA) designations, and direct access to high-quality turfgrass through partners like Sporting Valley Sod, we deliver consistent, championship-caliber results across every field we touch.

From youth fields and Little League diamonds to high-school stadiums, collegiate facilities, championship golf venues, and professional-level competition surfaces, we bring craftsmanship, turf-science expertise, and performance-driven precision to every project.
