The Innings & Outfields of Sports Turf

Much like professional athletes, sports turf is expected to perform at a higher standard. As a result, sports turf requires the care of knowledgeable, specialized pros at every phase of its lifecycle. Finding this expertise in a landscape partner is unusual, but not at BrightView. In fact, we’re the Official Field Consultant of Major League Baseball, and our experts have consulted on fields from the municipal-level up to the Olympic-level. Dig into how this expertise provides our sports turf clients with a competitive advantage.

Designed to Win

Creating a winning field begins in the design phase. Our team of experts consults on key factors like layout, location, drainage, and irrigation to ensure the best possible outcome. They also consider other use-cases for the field, such as concerts, and local weather conditions so that the potential impacts can be mitigated with smart design.

Built for Performance

Our technical evaluation limits problems before they begin. Experience makes the difference in recommending the most durable surfaces, controlling maintenance costs and maximizing investment. But the attention to detail isn’t limited to the concept phase; it also carries into execution. From the moment we break ground, we adhere closely to a comprehensive project plan that keeps track of all activities, important dates, and budgets. This ensures all trades stay in close communication and issues are troubleshooted before they become a problem. The result is a high-quality build finished on-time and on-budget.

Championship Maintenance

Once a field is complete—regardless of whether it has natural or synthetic grass—it needs continuing specialized care to stay in top form. This is also true of existing fields that are rehabbed to their original glory. At BrightView, regular aeration, irrigation tune-ups, mowing, and graphics are performed with care. And, in the event of weather events, careful steps are taken to protect the field in advance. But that’s not the only way we help protect your investment. We also consult on event scheduling to help preserve the field and conserve your maintenance budget.

If keeping your sports field in top form sounds like an Olympic sport, that’s because it is. However, having the right experts to rely on makes the task easy. Athletes at all levels deserve a consistently safe, high-quality playing surface. BrightView is the MVP you need to make it happen.
