WHAT WE BUILD
WHY THE BUILD MATTERS
Most field problems trace back to construction: a grade that holds water, a rootzone that compacts, drainage that was never tested. They cost far less to get right during the build than to fix three years later.
IRRIGATION
Irrigation is part of every field we build. We design it with the drainage and rootzone, bring in an irrigation contractor we have vetted and manage the installation inside our schedule. You deal with one team.
NATURAL GRASS AND SYNTHETIC
Natural grass is our first recommendation for any facility: it is the surface players prefer, it runs cooler, and we measure it and hold it inside the FIFA and NFL safety limits for natural grass. Where one field takes very high use and the budget for natural-turf equipment and maintenance is not there, synthetic can be the right answer, and we build it. We are not tied to one manufacturer: we work with several and specify the system for each field (fiber, infill, shock pad and base) to fit its sports, its use and its budget.
What we build in synthetic
The surface decision made with you, field by field. Base and drainage, the synthetic system specified for the field, lines and inlays for every sport the field hosts, handover with the maintenance plan and the equipment list.
Replacement of a worn synthetic field
Worn carpet removed, with recycling or disposal documented by destination; base and drainage inspected, corrected and reused only if they pass; new synthetic system installed to the field's specification; lines and inlays redrawn for today's programs.
PROVEN EXPERIENCE
Chivas Guadalajara — Three training fields at Verde Valle, from earthwork to turf.
Wellington International — Natural grass arena, 2025.
IMG Academy — New field construction.
Estadio Azteca — Brought in to fix the pitch: rebuilt to natural grass with new drainage and irrigation, 2019.
Neo Quimica Arena, Sao Paulo — Pitch built for the 2014 World Cup, with the first underground field-cooling system in Latin America, installed in 2013.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to build a natural grass sports field?
It depends on the site, the size of the project and the grass. Earthwork, drainage, irrigation and rootzone usually take several weeks to a few months. Then the field needs a grow-in period before play: sod can be playable within weeks, while seed or sprigs need a few months of active growing weather. We plan the schedule backwards from your opening date and tell you early if that date is not realistic.
What is a rootzone and why does it matter?
The rootzone is the layer of sand or soil mix where the grass roots grow. Its particle size and depth decide how fast the field drains, how firm it plays and how well it resists compaction. Many of the field problems we are called to fix start with a rootzone that was too fine or too shallow. We test the materials before they go in and build the profile to the specification the field needs.
Sod, seed or sprigs: which is best for a new field?
Sod gives the fastest playable surface but costs more up front. Seed costs the least but needs the longest grow-in. Sprigs, used for warm-season grasses such as bermudagrass, sit in between. The right choice depends on your opening date, your climate, the grass species and your budget, and we recommend one after reviewing the schedule and the site.
Do you install drainage and irrigation as part of the build?
Yes. We design drainage and irrigation together with the grade and the rootzone, as one system. Irrigation is installed by a vetted irrigation contractor under our management and inside our schedule, so you deal with one team for the whole field.
Can you build hybrid grass fields?
Yes. We install hybrid stitching, which reinforces a natural grass surface with synthetic fibers stitched into the rootzone. It is used on stadium fields that host heavy event schedules, and we have used it to prepare fields for NFL international games.
What do you need from us to get started?
The location, the sports the field will host, the expected hours of use and your opening date. If you have a survey, soil reports or plans, send them too. We begin with a site evaluation and a feasibility review before any earthwork starts.
