Explore Native Grasses and Wildflowers for Golf Grasses and Landscapes
Native grasses are essential to golf courses and landscapes because they provide a perfect balance of sustainability, aesthetics, and performance. Unlike traditional turf, native grasses require significantly less water and maintenance, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice. Their deep root systems help prevent soil erosion, improve drainage, and enhance the overall health of the course. Additionally, these grasses support local ecosystems by providing a habitat for pollinators and wildlife, fostering biodiversity. Beyond their ecological benefits, native grasses contribute to the visual appeal of a golf course, creating a natural, rugged beauty that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
Moreover, native grasses contribute to the long-term sustainability of golf courses and landscapes by reducing dependency on fertilizers and pesticides, which helps maintain healthier soil and water quality. Their natural resilience allows them to thrive in varying weather conditions, ensuring the course remains lush and playable throughout the seasons. By embracing native grasses, golf course designers and superintendents not only enhance the ecological value of the landscape but also create a more authentic and visually striking golfing/landscape experience. Their ability to blend seamlessly into the natural environment fosters a sense of harmony between the sport and nature, making each round of golf or landscape project both enjoyable and environmentally responsible.

HI, I’M JAMES CULLEY
FOUNDER and OWNER SEED KING ENTERPRISES LLC
Are you having issues selecting the correct turfgrass for a given area? Are you trying to create naturalized areas on your property to save water, labor, etc?Do you need to reduce turfgrass areas to help provide for native grass or wildflower habitats for pollinators, local flora and fauna?
These are just a few areas that I specialize in. I’ve been working with golf courses and sportsfields since 1993 providing consulting services and product procurement.
In 2019, I started Seed King Enterprises after working with two companies that I also provided consulting and sales for golf courses, sportsfields and retailers. My current position is to provide golf courses and landscapes with consulting services on natives, wildflowers, speciality turf and turf reduction scenarios.
I will work with the superintendent to help source/procure the products from numerous suppliers to best match the product to the scenario at the best pricing possible.
My extensive contacts in the industry will benefit any golf course superintendent/sportsfield manager/landscape designer looking to produce the best conditions possible for it’s clientele.
I’ve worked with over 400 golf courses ( 14 in the Top 100 nationally), numerous golf architects, landscape designers, cities/municipalities and hydroseeders/sod farms.

They provide excellent durability, adapt well to the local climate, and require far less maintenance than traditional turf. It’s a win-win for both course owners and the environment. The end result? A sustainable, breathtaking landscape that enhances the overall golfing experience!"
