Turf's Up Radio

The original Scott’s Power Equipment location opened its doors in Spring of 2001. Since then, it has grown to be the largest of our commercial outdoor power equipment dealerships with equipment such as aerators, chippers, loaders and trenchers by Toro or RedMax power equipment and turf equipment and implements by Ryan. Our largest location is in Bridgeton at the corner of Lindbergh and St. Charles Rock Road and opened in Fall 2013. It has been called one of the most innovative power equipment dealers in the nation.

In 2004, we opened our Arnold location off of Highway 55 South. In recent years, Arnold has expanded to continue to service both residential and commercial customers with equipment such as Ferris lawn mowers and Boss snow plows and salters. Arnold now carries Stihl equipment as well.

In 2007 we added our Wentzville, MO location. Our Wentzville dealership is quickly becoming our fastest growing dealership with equipment such as Simplicity lawn mowers or Maruyama handheld equipment like blowers, hedge trimmers, edgers and more.
