The financial benefit to a FieldTurf field over natural grass is quite simple:
The upfront cost is higher, but the cost savings over time make it a much more financially-sound decision.
With a FieldTurf field, you will:
- Use your field for more hours per day with no field recovery time needed.
- Use your field for more months out of the year.
- Use your field in almost any type of weather.
- Rent out the use of your field to generate revenue.
- Save on maintenance costs such as re-sodding, watering and mowing
- Save on harmful chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides
This is how FieldTurf provides the best value:
| Natural Grass | FieldTurf | |
|---|---|---|
| Base preparation | $150,000 | $320,000 |
| Materials | $2.75 per sq. ft. = $220,000 | $5.00 per sq. ft. = $400,000 |
| Maintenance | $20,000 x 10 years = $200,000 | $5,000 x 10 years = $50,000 |
| Total | $570,000 | $770,000 |
| Scheduling Possibilities | 25 hours x 25 weeks x 10 years = 6,250 hours | 68 hours x 44 weeks x 10 years = 29,920 hours |
