Athletic Field turf
Each sports site we design has unique properties that we take into account when designing and installing a base for our synthetic turf to cover. There are some projects that require additional drainage, and we will install a drain pad on the base. We use Envirofill®, not crumb rubber, as our infill. Our jobs include anything from private, residential sports turf to larger jobs like high school or college stadiums.

Benefits of Synthetic Sports Turf
The playing field will take a high amount of abuse from one type of sport on any given day, then perhaps a different game on the next, or even in the same day! This ubiquitous use of one relatively small plot of land makes low maintenance a must. Fabricated turf never requires the plethora of maintenance and ongoing repair a natural grass field demands. Players stay cleaner because the dust level is lower, and mud isn’t an issue.
Game day is much is less likely to be canceled due to safety problems on the field. As you know, natural grass can be torn up, it can become a tripping and falling hazard, and be permanently damaged if used when wet. Even less significant damage can make an impact, resulting in sloppy play especially for sports like soccer. Artificial turf is also a four-season proposition, meaning it is always play-ready. It isn’t at the mercy of the weather, the landscape crew, or the sprinkler system to grow or look attractive.
Artificial Turf eventually pays for itself
Once artificial turf is laid on a field, the school or commercial venue no longer has to seek out substantial maintenance funds for field care. The synthetic grass turf play surface stays smooth and even. Imagine that the thousands of gallons of water required to keep a natural grass field intact is no longer necessary. Also, the chemicals needed to keep grass attractive aren’t required, either.
For a high school or smaller school, the initial cost of the field is often provided by fundraisers or corporate sponsors. Many of these entities will donate willingly as a means to increase promotion and support their local community. Once the field is in, it can also become a side revenue generator when not in use for the school or facility.
