Our Sports Turf Process
Our Process
Modern Turf’s sports turf division boasts unparalleled expertise, training, turf knowledge, and equipment. We have confidence in the products we use, enabling us to offer effective, proven techniques for enhancing, upkeeping, or constructing top-quality sports fields. Each athletic field is unique and deserves individualized attention. We prefer meeting potential clients on-site to assess their requirements, propose solutions, and develop a tailored plan within their expectations and budget. This personalized approach has earned us repeat business from satisfied clients.
Our laser leveling services cater to all field types, whether for new installations or infield renovations. This advanced technology guarantees precise slopes on athletic fields using top-notch laser equipment. The Laser Grader, a hydraulically operated grader, achieves high accuracy levels (+/- 1/8″) on any slope. At Modern Turf, we solely utilize this type of equipment for all our grading services.
Assessment of Client Needs
The initial step involves evaluating the client’s requirements, typically through a phone conversation to outline the planned work, whether it’s maintenance, a complete overhaul, or drainage improvements. Defining goals is crucial before proceeding and scheduling a site visit is also arranged during this discussion.
Site Visit
The site visit is a vital aspect of our assessment process. By exploring the property and considering various factors that influence each athletic field or complex distinctly, our experts can develop a tailored action plan. This visit may uncover additional issues beyond the initial concern, allowing us to address them promptly while advising the client on these matters.
Budget Discussion
Following the site visit, a budget discussion ensues to ensure all parties understand the client’s expectations and needs. Flexibility may be required, and our team adeptly guides clients in maximizing the value of their budget. While aesthetics are important for athletic fields, safety takes precedence, sometimes necessitating investments that prioritize safety over immediate visual enhancements. These conversations are pivotal in determining the most effective approach, with our team offering expenditure advice with the same level of care as we do for our own budgets and loved ones.
Execution
The final phase involves execution. Once a mutually agreed timeline is established, our team is on-site, prepared to carry out tasks such as construction, renovation, mowing, drainage work, fertilization, leveling, top-dressing, aerating, or sodding. This stage is where the excitement peaks! Our team thrives on the opportunity to enhance natural athletic fields to their fullest potential.
