Sports Turf Installation

Why Sports Facilities Choose Artificial Turf

Natural grass sports fields are expensive and difficult to maintain, especially in Florida's climate. Heavy use creates bare patches and uneven playing surfaces. Rain cancels games and practices. Hot summer weather stresses the grass and creates hard, dangerous conditions. Maintaining a quality natural grass field requires specialized equipment, constant watering, and expert knowledge that most facilities simply do not have.

Artificial sports turf solves these problems. A well-installed synthetic field plays consistently in all weather conditions, requires minimal maintenance, and lasts 10 to 15 years with heavy use. Schools, rec centers, HOAs, and sports complexes in Poinciana are switching to artificial turf because the performance and cost savings make sense.

When you work with CornerPeak Poinciana Artificial Grass, you get sports turf installation from professionals who understand the specific requirements for athletic fields. We follow industry standards for base preparation, drainage, turf selection, and infill systems to create fields that perform at the highest level while meeting safety requirements.

Sports We Install Turf For

Different sports have different turf requirements. We install and customize synthetic turf fields for various athletic activities:

• •Soccer fields: Full-size or small-sided fields with proper infill for ball roll and player safety
• •Football practice fields: Durable turf that handles contact drills and heavy cleated traffic
• •Baseball and softball fields: Infield turf with appropriate infill for consistent ball bounce and player footing
• •Multi-sport fields: Versatile turf systems designed for multiple athletic activities at schools and rec centers
• •Lacrosse and field hockey: Fast-draining turf with proper shock absorption for player safety
• •Tennis courts: Specialized short-pile turf that provides true ball bounce and proper slide characteristics

Professional Installation Process

Engineered Base Construction

The foundation of any sports field determines how it performs and how long it lasts. We excavate to proper depth, then build up layers of aggregate base materials. Each layer gets graded and compacted to precise specifications using laser-guided equipment. The result is a perfectly level, stable surface that will not shift or settle over time.

Drainage is critical for Florida sports fields that see frequent rain. We engineer the base with proper slope and drainage systems to quickly move water off the field. Many of our sports installations incorporate subsurface drainage similar to what we use in commercial artificial grass projects. Fields drain so fast that play can resume within minutes after heavy rain instead of waiting hours or days.

Professional Grade Turf and Infill

Athletic field turf is very different from residential lawn turf. The fibers are longer, stronger, and engineered for specific sports performance characteristics. We help you select the right turf product based on your sport, expected usage levels, and budget. All of our sports turf products meet industry safety and performance standards.

Infill is the material we spread between the turf fibers after installation. It provides cushioning, helps fibers stand upright, and affects how the field plays. Different sports need different infill systems. We use rubber crumb, coated sand, organic infill, or hybrid systems depending on your sport and performance requirements. The infill depth and distribution are carefully controlled to create consistent playing conditions across the entire field.

Long-Term Benefits for Your Facility

The upfront cost of artificial sports turf is significant, but the long-term economics are compelling. You eliminate mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, and all the specialized maintenance that natural grass fields require. No more field closures for grass recovery. No more cancelled games due to wet field conditions. Your field is available for use essentially every single day of the year.

Usage capacity increases dramatically. A natural grass field might handle 15 to 20 hours of play per week before it starts breaking down. A synthetic field can easily handle 40 to 60 hours per week. That means more teams, more practices, more games, and more revenue if you rent field time. Schools can schedule PE classes on the field. Rec departments can run more programs. Sports complexes can book more tournaments.

Maintenance costs drop by 50 to 70 percent compared to natural grass. Most facilities need only basic grooming equipment and one person to maintain a synthetic field. No more full-time groundskeepers, expensive mowers, irrigation systems, or chemical applications. The money and time saved often pays for the turf installation within just a few years. After that, you are simply saving money while providing better athletic facilities for your community. If your facility also needs playground safety turf for other areas, we can coordinate multiple projects for cost efficiency.
