About Us

Craft Turf Farms is a family owned farm that just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Our 2,500-acre turf farm is located in Foley, AL on prime farmland equipped to ensure optimum moisture, mature root systems and dense uniformity. We focus on quality and client satisfaction and provide turf in traditional slabs, 42” Magnum rolls or the new mini-rolls, all at competitive prices. All grass is cut to order to guarantee our customers receive fresh, quality turf.

Craft Turf Farms offers a variety of warm season, southern grasses. Centipede, Tifton 419 Bermuda, Empire Zoysia, Tifdwarf Bermuda, BK7 Zoysia and Palmetto St. Augustine have all proven themselves as excellent grasses for our area. Our experience in weed control, fertilization, and disease and insect control allows us to supply our customer with high-quality grasses throughout the year.

Our product and services have been developed specifically to meet the needs of licensed landscapers, retail nurseries and building contractors. While we do not sell grass retail, we are happy to refer homeowners to one of the many landscapers and nurseries we supply. Call us today for a price quote. Grass is our business. Let us supply your next job!
