My Story

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.
