"I am excited to be involved with the Rogers Centre Installation and it is enjoyable to see how the entire Greenhorizons’ staff is energized by such a project. These are things that we do on a daily basis but to be part of something that is so much in the public eye brings new excitement to what we do."
- Peter Rauwerda, Greenhorizons Operations Manager
"I have to plan the best I can. I’m not dealing with bricks that can be laid later, this is a live product- results strongly depend on me and my team’s ability to manage our time effectively. Once that sod is cut and delivered you only have a certain amount of time to install it before it dies.”
- Scott Hunte, Specialty Turf installation Manager
"You have to have perfect sod and you only have a very short time to install it- not to mention a short time to get it out. It takes about 24 hours of non stop harvesting to have all the sod needed to cover the Rogers Centre. 18 truck loads of big roll which is cut shorter than Greenhorizons regular big roll only because it has to be cut extra thick so that it will not move on the cement floor of the Rogers Centre. It really is all in the details. "
- Barry Kotlar,
Project Manager at the Specialty Turf location
“This industry is always changing, so we need to change with it- or more importantly AHEAD of it!"
- Ron Schiedel, Co-Owner of Greenhorizons Group of Farms Ltd.
“We start with the very best seed varieties, custom blend them and manage them properly. When you have the right people using the right tools,
you get a far superior product.”
- Doug Mader, Production Manager at Compact Sod (Cambridge Location)
“We have a team of individuals not willing to accept second best, as a team we are constantly challenging our procedures and process.”
- Steve Schiedel, Co-Owner of Greenhorizons Group of Farms Ltd.
"Scott’s crew and my team at Princeton have all done the Rogers Centre job before, we were the very first to put real turfgrass in the Rogers Centre for a soccer game. It was probably 5 or 6 years ago that we did it for the first time and then again the next year. This is now our third time doing it, and it really is a great project to be a part of."
- Barry Kotlar, Project Manager at the Specialty Turf location
