What sports can be played on artificial turf?

Almost any sport. We install turf for soccer, football, baseball, lacrosse, field hockey, and multi-sport fields. Each sport has specific turf requirements for fiber length, infill type, and surface performance. We'll recommend the right turf system based on your primary use, whether it's a dedicated soccer pitch or a versatile field for multiple sports.

How long do sports fields last?

Professional sports turf typically lasts 8 to 12 years depending on usage levels. High-traffic areas like football hash marks or soccer goal mouths may need attention sooner, but the majority of the field will perform well for many seasons. Regular maintenance like brushing and infill redistribution helps maximize the lifespan. Many facilities budget for field replacement every 10 years.

Can athletes play safely on artificial sports turf?

Yes. Modern sports turf is designed specifically for athlete safety. The surface provides consistent traction, shock absorption, and ball response. Studies show that injury rates on quality artificial turf are comparable to natural grass. We install systems that meet industry safety standards for your sport, and the consistent surface eliminates hidden divots and holes that cause ankle injuries on natural fields.

✓Year-Round Playability: Your field is ready for use 365 days a year. No more canceling games or practices because of weather. No waiting for fields to dry out after rain.
✓Consistent Playing Surface: Athletes get the same footing and ball response every single time they step on the field. No bare patches, no muddy spots, no surprises.
✓Handles Heavy Use: Sports turf stands up to constant practice and game schedules without showing wear. You can use your field many more hours per week than natural grass.
✓Lower Maintenance Costs: Eliminate the need for mowing, fertilizing, aerating, reseeding, and irrigation. Maintenance costs drop dramatically compared to natural grass fields.
✓Fewer Injuries: Properly installed sports turf with appropriate infill reduces non-contact injuries from uneven surfaces, divots, and poor footing.
