PIONEERS IN TURF GRASS

Few pictures if any remain to show the turf industry in those early years. Hermann Lindau, standing top right, cutting and installing turf grass in the  1920s using 1 by 1 foot (1'x1') square slabs. Hand loading slabs onto the truck and unloading by hand at the job site, a far cry from the equipment used today. Installation jobs in the 1920s and 1930s included the 1939 New York City World's Fair and many NYC parks and housing complex.
