Par For the Course.

Beyond construction and renovation, Hummer offers precision turf services that address the unique challenges of golf courses. From surface refinement to soil health, our specialty practices improve playability, resilience, and long-term turf quality.

Specialty Golf Course Maintenance & Repair Services

Even the best-built golf courses face challenges from heavy play, weather extremes, and natural turf stress. When standard upkeep isn’t enough, Hummer Turfgrass Systems provides specialized maintenance and repair services designed to keep fairways, greens, tees, and practice areas performing at their peak. From precision surface treatments that refine playability to large-scale turf recovery and soil health improvements, our specialty services address the issues that matter most to superintendents — consistency, durability, and golfer satisfaction.

Topdressing & Overseeding

Hummer applies topdressing to smooth surfaces, dilute thatch, and protect turf crowns, while overseeding restores density and color. This combination is especially valuable on golf fairways and tees, where play is concentrated and recovery is essential. Our agronomic team selects the right blends for your course and times applications to maximize establishment, ensuring consistent performance season after season.

Verticutting

Using precision verticutting equipment, Hummer removes excess thatch while stimulating new shoots for stronger turf. This process enhances greens by creating truer rolls and supports fairways and tees by improving infiltration and reducing disease pressure. Verticutting also prepares surfaces for overseeding or topdressing, creating a seamless program that strengthens turf long-term.

Fraze Mowing

For heavily trafficked fairways, tees, or driving ranges, fraze mowing resets surfaces by removing the top layer of organic matter. This process eliminates weeds, smooths irregularities, and improves seed-to-soil contact for overseeding. Hummer’s specialized equipment handles large areas efficiently, restoring course conditions and accelerating turf recovery.

Sprigging

When transitioning golf courses to bermudagrass or other warm-season species, sprigging is often the most economical and effective option. Hummer’s team ensures proper sprig density, coverage, and soil preparation for strong establishment. With our large-scale installation capabilities, we can cover acres of fairways, roughs, or practice areas with precision and speed.

Bulk Fertilizer & Lime Applications

Hummer applies bulk fertilizer and lime according to the superintendent’s specified program, delivering precise, field-wide applications that support the course’s established agronomic plan. Our bulk application equipment ensures even coverage and efficiency, whether treating a full driving range or every fairway on the course. These services reduce deficiencies, improve color and density, and create the resilient turf golfers expect.
