Athletic field maintenance companies offer a wide range of services that help control and protect sports fields from wear and tear over time. Sports fields are constantly torn apart due to being played on every day of the week, as well as harsh weather conditions that erode the condition of the field over time. It’s easy for a sports field to be completely destroyed despite looking pristine a week prior. For this reason, it’s important that sports field managers hire the services of a field maintenance company. These companies are equipped to protect and maintain any and every sports field, no matter the damage caused during a game.
Services A Sports Field Maintenance Company Provides
- Irrigation Systems
- Weed and Pest Control
- Lawn Maintenance
Irrigation Systems
An athletic field maintenance company is able to implement a full irrigation system into any style of playing field. For places with dry climates, an irrigation system is vital to keep the field alive and fresh. Sports fields need to constantly be given water to keep them healthy all year long. Without an irrigation system, the grass will surely die, leaving you with a messy field that’s hard to play on. Avoid the hassle of replanting grass with an efficient and effective sports field that is ready to be played on all year long.
Weed and Pest Control
It’s easy for a sports field to become unkempt if not monitored properly. Weeds can overtake a field, causing it to look extremely ugly and sometimes unplayable. Goosegrass, a thick weed that protrudes from the ground, can potentially trip and injure players as they run over it. Pests such as red ant can disturb a sports field and make it very frustrating to play on. One wrong step can lead to a player planting their foot in a mound and possibly getting bitten all over their leg. A sports field maintenance company would be able to properly remove any and all weeds as well as pests from the field, bringing it back to its former glory.
Lawn Maintenance
One of the most important parts of athletic field maintenance is lawn maintenance. Nobody wants to play on long tough grass. It makes running and moving far more difficult, and is an eyesore for viewers in the stands. This process can involve anything from verticutting to mowing the lawn, to even testing the soil to figure out what products your field would benefit the most from.
Sports field maintenance companies can be a great benefit to your field all year round, making sure that it’s prepared for any event, no matter the weather or wear and tear it may face.
