Base and Drainage

For fields with heavy use from all types of play and practice, the all rubber systems have been more prevalent over the years. The Xturf™ all rubber fields have proven to be the most consistenet G-Max level with the least amount of maintenance, guaranteed not to rise above a level of 135.

The addition of sand can be done in varying ratios. More sand equals a firmer field. Thought the field will be slightly tighter, faster surface, it will require regiular maintenance to keep the sand from separating from the mixture and significatly firming the field. With our recommened ratios, it is guaranteed not to rise above a level of 165.

With the X-Turf™ system, we work with our cklients to make sure that the proper choice is made on the infill utilized to achieve all thier goals for the safety and performance. With the negative stigmas of the issues which revolved around older conventional "carpet-like" styles of synthetic turf fading, the modern-day long fiber systems are not only saferm but can actually be far more superior to even natural grass fields as they have much more consistent footing, no matter what weather conditions may prevail.

Durability
The overall durability of your field is related to the backing system which creates the foundation, and the fiber matrix which will need to handle the daily wear and tear required by your field and provide not only the aesthetic appearance, but performance characteristics needed over the life of the field. Using better backings and fibers equals longer life of your field

Backing
The primary backing system in any turf product is an invisible but important function. The dimensions of a synthetic turf cannot change under the influence of circumstances (fold, shrink or deform) which can lead to the distortion of lines and ruin your field. A thick, layered backing is a part of all the X-Turf™ systems and will never have a weight of less than eight ounces per square yard, typically with a weight above ten ounces. The primary backing system will only be coated with a minimum of 22 ounces of urethane per square yard, with standard systems having a weight of approximately 26 ounces.
