In recent years, the company has diversified its services with specialties in:

• Water Management
• Drainage Solutions
• Landscape Lighting
• Ponds and Waterfalls
• Fountains
• Irrigation Systems
• Turf Sport Courts (Private putting greens, grass tennis courts and more)
• Wireless Dog Fence Installations

Turf Center Lawns prides itself on its ability to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions for a broad range of highly technical, turf-care-related issues. It has completed successful landscaping and turf-building projects at such high-profile sites as The White House, the Federal Mall, Fed Ex Field, Byrd Stadium (U of MD), the Australian Embassy and the Congressional Country Club, to name a few.
