MIKE RICHARD MILESTONE:
25 Years of Servicing Customers
Is having a knowledgeable service technician important?  You bet it is and Mike Richard is living proof.  Mike started with Turf Equipment in 1993. Twenty-five years later you can find him still taking care of his customers, one customer at a time.  Mike had a couple roles over the years at Turf Equipment before landing in his current position. Most notably, he was branch manager for our Fairfax, VA location. When the position opened up for an irrigation service technician, he jumped in and has never looked back.  In 2015 Mike was awarded top honors by Toro with the Toro Irrigation Service Award.  We are so thankful to have Mike on our team!

If your internet connection goes down or the power goes out it still protects you!  Click here for more info.
