Planning your field
What goes into a turf field
A synthetic field is a system: the turf, the infill that supports it, an optional shock pad, and the base underneath. Each layer changes how the field plays and how safe it tests.
Infill
Infill holds the fibers upright and adds cushioning. Common options include crumb rubber (ambient or cryogenic, from recycled tires), EPDM, sand or coated silica, organic infills like cork and coconut fiber, and TPE (Synthetic Turf Council glossary (opens in a new tab)). Speed Zone’s fiber blend is built for infill retention, and we pair it with the infill your spec calls for.
Shock pad
A shock pad, or e-layer, is a permeable layer under the turf, typically rubber granulate bound with polyurethane. It adds impact absorption, and it can be reused across more than one turf lifecycle, which lowers the cost of the next replacement.
Impact testing
Field safety is measured as Gmax, the peak deceleration on impact; lower is softer. ASTM F1936 limits each test point to 200, and the Synthetic Turf Council recommends staying below 165 for the life of the field. Test at least once a year (Sports Field Management Association guide (opens in a new tab)).
Heat
Synthetic surfaces get hotter than grass in direct sun, up to about 50°F hotter in Penn State’s research, and watering cools them only briefly (Penn State Center for Sports Surface Research (opens in a new tab)). Plan hydration breaks, shade and practice times for summer.
From spec to game day
-
Step 01
Spec & submittals
Send us your bid spec or tell us how the field will be used. We return spec sheets and samples for your board, architect or athletic director.
-
Step 02
Site work
Grading and earthwork set the foundation for drainage.
-
Step 03
Base & layout
A compacted, laser-graded base is prepped and the field is laid out.
-
Step 04
Roll out & seam
Custom-length rolls go down, seams are joined and inlaid markings line up.
-
Step 05
Infill & game day
Infill is installed and groomed, and the field is ready to play.
Maintenance
The core tasks are surface cleaning, debris removal, grooming, and redistributing or topping up infill, plus annual impact testing (STC maintenance guidelines (opens in a new tab)). The Sports Field Management Association puts typical synthetic field upkeep at about $5,000–$8,000 a year in materials and 300–500 labor hours. Budget for it from the first season.
Lifespan & warranty
Most synthetic fields last about ten years, depending on climate, use and maintenance (University of Illinois Extension (opens in a new tab)). Speed Zone carries a 10-year warranty. A turf field also needs no rest after rain. Natural grass typically needs one to two days (DC Department of General Services (opens in a new tab)).
