Extension specialists and agents, often located in county offices, are equipped to provide guidance on everything from selecting the best grass seed for your region to managing pests and optimizing soil health. These experts translate complex research into actionable advice, empowering individuals to create and maintain beautiful, sustainable yards. Whether you’re a seasoned landscaper or a first-time homeowner, extension specialists are here to help you achieve success with your outdoor spaces…for free!
At Twin City Seed Company, we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible guidance for managing their lawns and landscapes. To better serve our diverse customer base, especially those navigating different climates, we often turn to turfgrass extension specialists for their localized expertise. We recognize that we don’t have all the answers, and there have been times when we’ve directed customers to their local extension service for timely and specific recommendations that we couldn’t provide directly. Turfgrass extension is often combined with horticultural extension programs, and the level of resources dedicated to turfgrass varies by university. To make these resources more accessible, we’ve compiled a list and map of extension services or turfgrass programs across the country that offer information on turfgrass, lawns, and/or yards, helping ensure you have access to the best guidance for your unique needs.
