Date: 03/2023
Sports Turf Company completed a series of four projects over two years for Lowndes High School. These facilities included:
Martin Stadium
Indoor Multi-Purpose Athletic Facility
Baseball Field
Softball Field
In late 2021 and early 2022, Sports Turf Company completed the artificial turf renovation of Lowndes High School’s baseball and softball fields.
Sports Turf Company renovated the Vikings’ existing natural grass fields to an artificial turf system that will reduce rainouts and can endure high traffic, with little downtime. The artificial turf system, features AstroTurf’s Diamond Series turf system, Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad, and rubber infill., BrockFILL. AstroTurf’s Diamond Series is a performance artificial turf system that combines slit film and nylon monofilament fibers with a RootZone layer of texturized fibers for optimum durability and better shock absorbency. The revolutionary Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad technology features large drainage channels, shock-absorbing structures and 25mm thickness to improve player safety, provide more effective drainage, and ensure a firm, consistent playing surface for the life-time of the field.
In the spring of 2023, Sports Turf Company renovated Martin Stadium’s existing artificial turf field into a system that excels in safety, durability, and performance. The new surface features AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D Blend HD turf system, Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad and organic BrockFILL infill. AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D Blend is a performance artificial turf system that combines slit film and monofilament fibers with a RootZone layer for optimum durability and better shock absorbency. Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad and BrockFILL are specifically engineered to optimize safety for athletes’ impacts to the surface. BrockFILL is the latest in organic infills and is sustainably grown and harvested in Georgia.
The indoor facility for the Vikings features the same system installed at Martin Stadium: AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D Blend HD turf system, Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad and organic BrockFILL infill.
