Ath­let­ic fields uni­fy com­mu­ni­ties, cre­ate oppor­tu­ni­ties for peo­ple of all ages through sports leagues and com­pe­ti­tions, and pro­vide recre­ation­al expe­ri­ences for all. In order to con­tin­ue yield­ing these ben­e­fits, these fields and facil­i­ties must be well-main­tained, and new devel­op­ments must be prop­er­ly planned and expert­ly installed for their intend­ed pur­pose. At The Budd Group, in addi­tion to offer­ing build­ing main­te­nance ser­vices for ath­let­ic facil­i­ties, we also install and main­tain all types of ath­let­ic fields.

Arti­fi­cial Fields

Arti­fi­cial or syn­thet­ic fields have grown in pop­u­lar­i­ty for a num­ber of rea­sons. Though the instal­la­tion of an arti­fi­cial field is typ­i­cal­ly more cost­ly than a nat­ur­al or mod­i­fied field, these syn­thet­ic fields typ­i­cal­ly require less main­te­nance over­all, offer effec­tive inter­nal drainage, hold up in vir­tu­al­ly all weath­er con­di­tions, and retain their aes­thet­ic appeal. That said, the arti­fi­cial turf infill used to imi­tate a nat­ur­al field can heat up in warm, sun­ny weath­er, and doesn’t quite feel the same as organ­ic grass. Also, main­te­nance is indeed required to keep arti­fi­cial fields ful­ly func­tion­al and effi­cient, such as reg­u­lar­ly mea­sur­ing the field’s hard­ness, sweep­ing and drag­ging the field to keep fibers upright, redis­trib­ut­ing infill, remov­ing snow when nec­es­sary, land­scape debris removal, and more.

Nat­ur­al Soil Fields

We also install and main­tain var­i­ous types of nat­ur­al soil fields (i.e. sand, loam, clay), which make up the major­i­ty of ath­let­ic fields today. For the best results, we take into con­sid­er­a­tion the client’s goals, the region’s cli­mate, and the pur­pose of the field in ques­tion (such as which sports it will be used for, how fre­quent­ly it will be used, etc.). Inten­sive main­te­nance is nec­es­sary for all nat­ur­al soil fields, espe­cial­ly regard­ing irri­ga­tion, drainage, and aer­a­tion. Addi­tion­al main­te­nance includes tasks such as mow­ing, trim­ming, edg­ing, soil test­ing, soil replace­ment, snow removal, and more. The fre­quen­cy of these main­te­nance tasks will depend on the field’s size, lev­el of use, soil type, cli­mate, sea­son, client sched­ul­ing para­me­ters, etc.

Mod­i­fied Soil Fields

Mod­i­fied soil fields are the third type of ath­let­ic field we install and main­tain. These fields con­tain an addi­tion­al coarse amend­ment (typ­i­cal­ly sand) mixed into the nat­ur­al soil in order to increase drainage and decrease com­paction. Though these fields are more expen­sive to install than nat­ur­al soil fields, clients can reduce costs over time thanks to less inten­sive maintenance.
