About Island Bio Greens
Professional organic turf and landscape products for Long Island’s golf courses, athletic fields, and landscape professionals.
Meet Ken Kraus
Ken Kraus didn’t start in turf. After years running a restaurant, he bought a franchise in the green industry and taught himself the science — through trade magazines, seminars, and most of all, from his customers. That hands-on education became the foundation of Island Bio Greens, which he founded in 1990.
Over 35 years later, Ken still visits golf courses and landscapes personally — evaluating conditions, interpreting soil tests, and recommending products based on what he sees on the ground. His clients aren’t account numbers. They’re superintendents, landscape managers, and municipal grounds crews he’s worked with for years.
Ken’s philosophy has always been practical sustainability: eco-friendly products that reduce nitrogen and water usage, not because it’s trendy, but because it produces better turf with less environmental impact.
Relationships, Not Transactions
Ken’s clients aren’t account numbers. He visits your site, learns your conditions, and builds programs around what your turf actually needs. That’s why superintendents stay with IBG for decades.
Sustainability That Works
Eco-friendly isn’t a marketing label here — it’s how Ken has operated since 1990. Reduced-nitrogen programs, OMRI Listed organics, and formulations that deliver results while meeting increasingly strict municipal regulations.
Diagnose, Don’t Guess
Soil testing, tissue analysis, and water testing through accredited labs. Ken interprets the results and builds custom nutrient programs — so you’re spending on what your turf needs, not what a sales rep wants to move.
