Turf Workz serves Saginaw and the surrounding area with reliable and honest lawn care service, landscaping service and pest control. Saginaw is located along I-75 between Bay City to the north and Flint to the south. Nestled along the Saginaw River, this community is considered part of the Great Lakes Bay area. Saginaw is a little over 18 square miles in size with a population of approximately 50,000 residents.
The history of the Saginaw area dates centuries to when the Sauk people lived in the area. They were driven out by the Chippewas who remained in the area until the French missionaries and traders started arriving in the 17th century. In 1816, the first colonial settlement was established and soon Fort Saginaw was constructed. The lumber industry helped drive the local economy throughout the 19th century but it would be a while before it truly thrived. The Saginaw area struggled to survive with the closure of Fort Saginaw followed by the Panic of 1837. What helped restart the economy and get the lumber industry going was the American expansion westward. With the need for lumber out west, Saginaw began to grow and develop. In 1859, the city was officially incorporated. However, by the end of 19th century, the lumber industry faded away.
The Michigan automobile industry helped Saginaw restart its economy once again as auto parts suppliers opened up factories to assist in the creation of cars mostly in the Detroit area. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, 12 General Motors’ plants were operating in and around Saginaw. Still a manufacturing hub, Saginaw companies have shifted their focus from automobiles to clean exports, manufacturing exports and photovoltaic technology which is the art of turning light into electricity, or as we like to call it: solar power.
Saginaw showcases a strong sense of hard work and community. Through its diversity and various cultures, there are always many great people to meet at the flavorful restaurants and cultural events.
