How long does SportsGrass Edge XP last on athletic fields?

SportsGrass Edge XP is engineered for exceptional durability and typically lasts 10-15 years with proper maintenance, even under heavy athletic use. The advanced fiber technology and specialized backing system are designed to withstand the intense foot traffic common in coaching boxes and sideline areas.

What maintenance is required for synthetic sports turf?

Synthetic sports turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Regular brushing to maintain fiber orientation, periodic cleaning to remove debris, and occasional infill redistribution are the primary maintenance tasks. No watering, fertilizing, or mowing is required.

Can synthetic turf be installed over existing natural grass?

No, proper installation requires complete removal of existing natural grass and preparation of a stable base. This ensures proper drainage, prevents uneven settling, and provides the foundation necessary for optimal performance and longevity of the synthetic turf system.

Is synthetic sports turf safe for athletes?

Modern synthetic sports turf like SportsGrass Edge XP is specifically engineered for athlete safety. The surface provides consistent traction and shock absorption, reducing injury risk from uneven or muddy conditions common with natural grass. The materials are non-toxic and designed to meet or exceed safety standards for athletic applications.

How does synthetic turf perform in different weather conditions?

Synthetic sports turf provides consistent performance regardless of weather conditions. Unlike natural grass, it doesn't become muddy in rain or require recovery time after heavy use. The drainage system allows for quick water removal, and the surface remains playable immediately after precipitation.

SportsGrass Edge XP Installation at Constantine High School

Project Overview

Constantine High School in Constantine, Michigan faced ongoing challenges with failing natural turf in their home and visitor sideline coaching and team box areas. The school required a durable solution that could withstand heavy foot traffic from coaches, players, and staff throughout multiple seasons. Our team installed 2,100 square feet of premium SportsGrass Edge XP to address these recurring maintenance issues and provide a long-lasting athletic surface.

Our Approach

Our installation process began with complete removal of the deteriorated natural turf and proper site preparation to ensure optimal drainage and stability. We utilized specialized techniques developed through our extensive experience with artificial grass for sports applications to create a level, well-compacted base. The SportsGrass Edge XP was carefully positioned and secured using professional-grade materials designed specifically for high-traffic athletic environments. Our team completed the installation with precise seaming and infill application to maximize performance and longevity.

Key Highlights

The SportsGrass Edge XP features advanced fiber technology engineered to withstand intense athletic use while maintaining consistent performance characteristics. This installation eliminates the school’s recurring turf replacement costs and provides a reliable surface that performs consistently in all weather conditions. The synthetic turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass, allowing the school’s grounds crew to focus resources on other facility needs. The completed project delivers a professional-grade athletic surface that will serve Constantine High School’s football program for many years to come.
