Why installers come to us

Your installs are great.
Your pipeline should be too.

Good turf contractors spend years learning through expensive mistakes. The craft is rarely the problem. What holds them back is everything around it.

  • Leads come and go. One month is booked out, the next is quiet. Marketplace reach drops and referrals dry up.
  • Jobs get underbid. Pricing by the square foot without accounting for base prep, materials, and margin.
  • The brand looks like everyone else's. No website that sells, few reviews, and nothing that justifies a premium price.
  • The owner does it all. Estimating, selling, installing, and invoicing, with no time left to grow.

How a partnership works

We handle the marketing.
We help close the deals.

Most agencies hand you a spreadsheet of leads and send an invoice. We pick up the phone and sell the work, because that is how we get paid.

  5. Sell

    We call your leads, run the sales conversation, and close the job. You install it and invoice through your own system.

  6. Report & scale

    Weekly performance reports, then more budget, more services, and more square footage as the numbers prove out.

One partner. One territory.

Your market is yours alone.

We partner with one installation company per market. The brand, the ads, and the sales effort all go toward your growth, never your competitor's.

Who we work with

Built for turf installers, start to finish.

Installation companies

Residential and commercial installers

Turf lawns, putting greens, pet turf, pool surrounds, and paver inlays. Ideal for established crews that can take on more work than they are currently booking.

Aligned pricing. A flat weekly service fee plus a commission per square foot on jobs we sell.

Partner advantage

Exclusive distribution deals

Installation partners get access to exclusive supply deals on turf and accessories through our distribution partner. Lower material costs mean stronger margins on every square foot you install.

Partners only. Available exclusively to Tier 1 Turf installation partners.

When you grow, we grow. That's the whole model.

What our partners say

Real partners. Real results.

Travis Barnett, founder of Tier 1 Turf

A letter from the founder

I built a turf company. Now I help build yours.

I spent three years building a turf distribution and installation company, grew it into a $10M business, and sold it. Along the way I watched talented, hard-working contractors learn the hard way. They underbid jobs, used the wrong materials, struggled to get leads, and felt like they had to figure it all out alone.

I built Tier 1 Turf to change that. We bring the systems, the marketing, and a sales team that actually picks up the phone. I also bring a background in insurance underwriting, so I look at every job and every ad dollar for the numbers behind it.

We don't compete with our partners. We invest in them. Your success is our legacy.

Our mission is to help build the most respected turf companies in North America.

Questions

Before you reach out.

Don't see your question here? Ask it on the strategy call.

Do you work with other installers in my area?

No. We take one installation partner per territory. Once your market is claimed, we won't market or sell for a competing installer there.

Who pays for the ads?

We cover ad spend for your first 30 days so you can see results before you put your own money in. After that, you fund your own ad account directly, and the account stays yours.

Do you actually sell the jobs?

Yes. We call your incoming leads, run the sales conversation, and close the job. It's invoiced through your system, and your crew handles the install.

How are you paid?

A flat weekly service fee covers your landing page, ad setup, and management. On top of that, we earn a commission per square foot on the jobs we sell. We do well when you do.

What if I already have a website?

We'll review it on the strategy call. Many partners keep their main site and add dedicated landing pages for ads, which usually convert better.
