Noon Turf Care’s founders and principals Christopher and Matthew Noon donate a full year of complimentary lawn care for the silent auction at the “A Concert for Calle” fundraiser.
When the two founders of Noon Turf Care, Chris and Matt Noon heard of a sick little girl in their community that desperately needed funds to help pay for her care and the research of her rare and incurable disease they jumped on the opportunity to help. Tom Graf and his band “Aged Inventory” collaborated with the financial firm Standish to play a fundraiser show and Noon Turf Care was thrilled to help by donating a complimentary season of lawn care for the silent auction portion of it. The concert was a huge success and hundreds of people attended to raise the funds needed for cancer research. Principals of Noon Turf Care Chris and Matt Noon donate to dozens of these types of auctions per year to help raise awareness and funds for very important non-federally funded cancer research charities to aid the ones that need the most help.
“The concert and fundraiser ‘A Concert for Calle’ was a huge success and we were just happy to be able to lend a helping hand. Tom Graf of Standish did a tremendous job organizing such a successful event for Calle.” Says Noon Turf Care’s President, Chris Noon.

Brian Sabine, a lawn specialist at Noon Turf Care completed an intensive Turf Grass Course at UMASS Extension this winter which advanced his education and career at Noon Turf Care. Sabine became a team member at Noon Turf Care two years ago after a long career in the golf course industry. This degree will help Sabine become closer to being promoted to a field service manager after he completes his two year Noon Turf Care Fast Track certification. This career path designed by Noon Turf Care last year enables team members to create a path at Noon Turf to advance and excel professionally. This provides an opportunity for team members to grow at the company with a long-term career option.
“I was thrilled to be selected by Noon Turf Care to further my education and certification in a field I love. The experience at UMASS was educational and it further developed my knowledge and skills in the Green Industry. I am looking forward to complete the Fast Track Program at Noon Turf Care so that I can advance professionally,” says Sabine.
As Noon Turf Care continues to grow they will continue to select A players to bring up within their organization. Their goal with this program is to deliver an exceptional product and service to the customer with the most educated and skilled team members backing it.

Don’t waste your time
The past several years have been very exciting for our fast-growing lawn care company: Noon Turf Care based in Hudson, Mass. We have grown by an average of 50 percent per year since 2008 and most of the success is attributed to the way we sell and market our services.
FBeginning in late 2008, we invested heavily in marketing and sales to attract new business as other competitors cut back on their business development expenses.
We acknowledge that sales leads can be generated from all type of media, but our goal is to acquire new customers at the lowest possible cost. These avenues change depending on the season but overall we found that the internet, phone and direct mail are still the best methods of gaining new customers. Referrals are fantastic and they show that your company’s service is of quality, but there is no way to grow significantly in a short period on just referrals.
Talk to any ‘old-time’ landscape professional about the business 20 years ago and you’ll see how different the industry is today, especially from the standpoint of technology. they’ll tell you that the good old days were both the best and worst of times. they were the best, in that opportunity was seemingly limitless. they were the worst, in that business—as far as computer systems go—was in the dark ages.
For the "young’uns," who’ve been spoiled with the advantages of hardware—such as computers, tablets and smartphones, it’s difficult to grasp the amount of work that had to be done on paper. Financial operations, client lists, employee information, the all-important take-off sheets, the estimating, the scheduling and routing, and of course the billing—all of this and more was done by hand. There’s no doubt about it: today’s technology has made day-to-day job operations a lot easier…
