The Story Behind Intelligent Lawn Solutions

Fergus Butt

Owner

My career has been dedicated to understanding how to grow the healthiest, most resilient grass—and now I bring that same expertise to home lawns in the Bow Valley. My journey into turf management began at Silvertip Golf Course, where I fell in love with the science, precision, and satisfaction of creating beautiful, thriving grass. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working on and managing some of the most high-end golf courses in Alberta and around the world. I’ve always stayed ahead of the latest products, techniques, and environmentally friendly practices to achieve the best possible results.

Along the way, I realized that residential lawn care often lacked a focus on science-backed, results-driven methods. Too many companies apply generic fertilizers without educating homeowners about how they work, how safe they are, or how they fit into a long-term lawn care plan. That’s why I started this business: to provide expert, transparent, and effective lawn care for homeowners in Canmore, Banff, and the Bow Valley.

Why Trust Me With Your Lawn?

• Formal Education
  I earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Turfgrass & Golf Course Management. Yes, you can get a degree in growing grass—and I loved every second of it. This knowledge allows me to take the guesswork out of lawn care and build customized, science-based programs for your lawn.

• Professional Certifications

  • Alberta Pesticide Applicators License: This certification is required by law for safe herbicide use. I maintain it through continuous education, ensuring I stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and best practices.

  • Certified Environmental Professional (Audubon International): This certification from Audubon International recognizes my expertise in sustainable turf management, chemical safety, water conservation, and environmental stewardship.

• Proven Experience on High-End Turf
  Having worked on prestigious golf courses, I’ve honed my skills in managing elite-quality turfgrass. Now, I’m bringing that expertise to your home lawn, ensuring that you get the best possible results for your lawn.

• Lawn Maintenance and Landscaping
  In addition to expert lawn care, I also offer a variety of small landscaping services such as resodding lawns and improving soil health. My extensive experience in golf course construction has given me the skills and knowledge needed to tackle even the most challenging lawn projects.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Approach

Many lawn care companies claim to be “organic-based,” but in reality, only 15% of their fertilizer is organic, while the rest is synthetic. My programs focus on true sustainability—improving soil health and keeping your lawn green and weed-free without excessive chemicals or water waste.

I’ve developed a lawn care program specifically for the Bow Valley, based on everything I’ve learned from managing high-end turfgrass. With the right fertilization, weed control, and soil treatments, we can transform any lawn into a thriving, resilient landscape.
