Field Shield Maintenance Overview

An ongoing turf maintenance program is especially critical for sports installations. Important for more than enhancing a surface's aesthetic look and feel, regular turf maintenance is an investment in field integrity, longevity, and, ultimately, athlete health and safety. Turf-Tek installations are designed to provide a generation of physical pounding and wear and tear— but without a regular schedule of attentive turf care, any artificial surface will breakdown— posing hidden dangers to those who've put their trust in the caliber of these playing fields. Turf-Tek encourages facility operators to take advantage of its comprehensive triple-tier maintenance offerings that include inspection, cleaning, revitalization, repair and sanitizing in regularly scheduled facility visits.

Care and treatment programs range from "Essential" to "Enhanced", and, ultimately, "Specialty" treatment options, and cover virtually every service that's recommended to keep turf surfaces in prime playing shape, and perfectly safe for young athletes. Turf-Tek technicians bring years of observational skill, and expert-maintenance know-how— employing up-to-the-minute treatment regimens, and the latest advances in automated field equipment. Indoors or out, more athletic programs and facilities rely Turf-Tek to keep their playing surfaces meticulously managed, maintained and manicured.
