Welcome to JP Turf and Pest, where my expertise meets hometown commitment. I'm JP, a proud native of Elk Point, SD, and I founded this company with a passion for turf management and pest control.

 

My journey began at Walla Walla Community College, where I earned my degree in Turf Management. Eager to learn and grow, I started with an internship at the grounds department of the Albuquerque Isotopes baseball team, a AAA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

​

From there, I had the privilege of working with the Texas Rangers MLB team, contributing to the grounds crew during their historic World Series appearance in 2010. Seeking new challenges, I joined the grounds crew of the Sacramento Rivercats, a AAA affiliate team for the Oakland A's, in Sacramento, CA.

​

Continuing my journey, I ventured to Colorado, where I served as the Assistant Superintendent at Lakewood Country Club, a prestigious private golf course in the Denver-Metro area.

 

Bringing my wealth of experience back to the Midwest, I've spent the last seven years leading the turf management division of Gill Hardscapes, LLC in Denison, IA.

​

Here at JP Turf and Pest, I hold all licenses and certifications required by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Pesticide Bureau, ensuring our services meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

With my expertise and dedication to our local community, JP Turf and Pest is your trusted partner for all your turf and pest management needs in Denison, IA, and beyond.
