Chris Hood

Emerald Coast Area Manager

Chris brings over two decades of turf management experience to the Emerald Coast. He started his career on golf courses in the Panama City area before joining the University of Florida's West Florida Research and Education Center as a Turfgrass Science Research Technician—working directly with the scientists who developed Florida's Industry Best Management Practices. In 2007, he and Clay Burch co-founded AG-GRO LLC, which they grew until merging with a large local landscape company in 2014. Chris stayed on before eventually launching Bay Agri Services. In late 2024, he and Clay reunited—merging their companies to form Honors Turf & Pest.
