One of the biggest reasons communities and municipalities are turning to synthetic turf for their sports fields is the reduction in time and cost associated with maintenance. Artificial grass fields can easily pay for themselves within a few years and extend the hours or play without necessary rest times to prevent extensive damage. While synthetic turf does stay green, upright, and even in texture year-round, certain techniques performed intermittently can help extend the life of the field for years past the industry standard estimated life.
Grooming techniques can be completed by a standard grounds crew or by the Act Global team with the help of the SMG Sportchamp. Earlier this month Act Global’s Director of Quality and Safety visited Mount Dora Christian Academy in Mount Dora, Florida to groom the field before the start of the 2018 season. The process involves lightly brushing the tips of every turf fiber to keep it straight and unmatted. After the visit, Mount Dora’s field looked pristine, like it had just been installed.
