I am a developer and I was working on a deal to install a soccer field on an infield Park in New York City. I had a very difficult time finding a contractor and a turf company to help me complete this project. I called dozens and dozens of Manufacturers and installers trying to find someone with the skill set and the experience to help me complete a mini soccer field in the city of New York. I finally got a referral from another contractor who told me to call Global Center. I got a hold of the vice president Shannon back and she educated me on what I needed to do and look for to complete this project. In doing so he sent me a lot of pictures of small mini soccer field that his customers have done in the past. He worked up a quote for me of all the turf, pad, infill, scene fabric, glue in shipping just send everything right to the project in New York City. He also referred me three installers in the New York metropolitan area that had the skill sets to and God on Jerry schedule to complete this project. The turf showed up on time and so did Jerry and so did the install and I am very happy to have met this new team of mine. The city of New York and all the kids love their new field and I think I have found a new niche in my construction complete the project. I called all three and the guy that stood out the most was named Jerry and I met with Jerry on the project to take a look and get his thoughts. A few days later Jerry emailed me his labor quote and I already had the materials quote from Global Center. I presented the offer to the city of New York and they accept it. I had two months to complete this project and I let Jerry and Global Syn-Turf know what time frames we were under. I place the order with Global Syn Turf and got on Jerry schedule and the turf showed up on time and so did Jerry and installation went right as planned. The city of New York is very happy with their new field and I think I may have found a new niche in my construction business thank you Global Syn-Turf, Shannon and Jerry for your help with this project.
As of today’s turf world, artificial grass used for outdoor sport fields mostly require infills which a combination of sand and cushioning particles to not only hold the turf in place, but more importantly provide sufficient GMAX fall ratings so people play sports on such artificial grass surfaces won’t get hurt when they fall. Technically, if the infills are not preferred by the end user, we can use cushioning pads under the turf to provide the same fall rating, however, such application can be much more costly. For indoor sport fields, the cushioning pads have been used more especially for smaller sized facilities.

Read Answer: Is infill needed for soccer field turf or will it just get in the way?
The stitch counts of artificial grass for soccer fields have minimal impact as far as functionality and performance go. It is more of technical specification indicating how many stitches in a per square yard area. Different soccer field might have different specification request, a sport field with artificial grass is a “system”, not just about turf. The underpayment, the infill requirement, the GMax factor and play ability are all part of bigger picture. Sometimes, the higher stitch counts will make the turf field too “tight” to infill and fail to achieve certain GMax value, therefore, it is not necessarily true that the higher the stitch count the “better”. A proper stitch count that balance the entire turf system is what designers and architects looking for.

I don’t think you will need any additional materials for our Trainers Turf installations. Just follow the same procedures of normal artificial grass installations, you will be fine. To answer your question about holding the turf in place: First, you will need to make sure having the parameters of the turf to be secured with nails, every 4-6” apart for nailing schedule; Secondly, you will need to add at least 2 lbs of infills per square foot throughout the turf surface, you might need a bit more if you are using the turf for sport applications: the more the better. Trainers turf is a short blade product which is not necessarily with professionally required GMax ratings with regular infills, so you might want to add paddings underneath the turf to provide sufficient cushions and achieve the fall rating requirements. If you have a designer or architect for your project, he or she should have all these specs and requirements spelled out for the project, and you can always feel free to send such information directly to us at [email protected] so we can better assist you, or please just fill out this online form to get connected with one of our experts: https://www.globalsynturf.com/free-quote

It all depends on the type, size and scope of the artificial grass sport field projects. But in any case, I don’t think the installation can be done within a day. Sport field applications can be for residential, communities, schools or professional sport facilities, even within the same category, sizes and requirements can vary from project to project.
