If your athletic facility needs a major update or renovation, you may be wondering about how sports field construction works. Installing artificial turf fields<\/a>, running tracks<\/a>, or tennis courts<\/a> requires a qualified, experienced contractor who understands each step of the construction process. American Athletic Track and Turf is based in Southampton Township, NJ, and Haines City, FL, and our service areas include Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern Massachusetts, Delaware, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Florida. Below, we draw on our more than 40 years of experience to share a few insights into artificial turf installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every project is unique, and certain site factors can make the turf installation process longer or shorter. But in general, the steps to build a new athletic field are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many variables you\u2019ll need to consider \u2013 how frequently the field will be used, the climate in your area, the level and drainage of the current site, and your project budget. To assist clients with the planning process, American Athletic Track and Turf offers a site evaluation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Often when we meet with facilities directors who are looking to upgrade their athletic fields, they are trying to decide between grass and artificial turf. The advantages of using artificial turf include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SmartBuy Cooperative Purchasing Program<\/a> allows athletic directors and facilities managers to acquire sports surfaces through cooperative purchasing contracts. The program comprises multiple cooperative purchasing agencies and is organized through Tarkett Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the SmartBuy Cooperative Purchasing Program, you\u2019ll get the benefit of competitive pricing without having to go through the public bid process. The program uses cooperative purchasing contracts to offer school districts and municipalities turnkey project solutions and preferential pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike the traditional bid method process, which can be extremely time-consuming, you don\u2019t need to issue a public bid for an artificial turf field and vet multiple applications. Instead, you can simply contact American Athletic Track and Turf for a site evaluation. We\u2019ll issue you a quote and as soon as you have a purchase order, we can get started on your project, greatly reducing the amount of time needed for the project. The SmartBuy Cooperative Purchasing Program is available nationwide and gives customers access to a full product line of sports surface products from FieldTurf and Beynon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you choose American Athletic Track and Turf<\/a>, you can rest assured you are selecting a qualified contractor.
