Services
Turf Installation
We install synthetic turf systems for athletic fields, playgrounds, and landscaping projects. Our ASBA-certified team ensures proper base construction, drainage, and turf placement. Using ISO 9001-certified materials, we complete projects ranging from single fields to multi-stadium complexes.
Grooming Services
Our maintenance includes infill redistribution, debris removal, and fiber protection. We use specialized equipment to sweep fields, apply disinfectant, and remove metal debris that damages turf fibers. Annual grooming extends field longevity and maintains performance standards.
Field Inspection
We inspect turf seams, infill depths, and fiber conditions to identify maintenance needs. Our assessments include perimeter attachment checks and material analysis to recommend repair or enhancement solutions for aging fields.
Surface Hardness Assessment
We measure field surface hardness to identify injury risk zones. Our reports evaluate infill coverage and recommend adjustments to maintain safe playing conditions that meet regulatory compliance standards for athletic use.
Rubber Topdressing
We restore optimal fiber-to-infill ratios by adding rubber granules to worn areas. This prevents fiber collapse from heavy use or weather exposure, preserving field performance and extending turf lifespan through proper material balance.
