Norton High School had played on a natural grass field previously. They battled issues of mud, dead and burnt out grass, and an uneven playing surface that caused concern for players’ safety. They wanted all-weather turf to address these issues, but also realized the importance of choosing a high-quality product from a local company.
While they loved the SportsGrass Edge XP product, they wanted a slightly taller pile height. The SportsGrass team worked with Norton by providing samples of the product at alternate pile heights. Norton selected the product that matched their desires, and a new product was born—SportsGrass Edge XPL. With this custom solution, Norton was able to accomplish all they had set out to do. The Norton High School field is arguably the finest field in all of Summit County and likely all of Northeast Ohio. Even four seasons later, it looks and performs better than most brand new fields. Their decision to choose quality is paying off, and the proof is in the field.

The ForeverLawn Emerald Coast team worked with SportsGrass to create a new product for the Tallahassee field. Not only did the SportsGrass team add the XStatic product to the Edge XP product, the city also wanted a shorter pile product with less infill. The result? Edge XPS with antistatic—a custom product to meet the needs of the customer.
The finished system used a shock pad, the shorter pile Edge XPS with the antistatic, and Envirofill infill from US Greentech. The result? A beautiful field that plays well, looks great, and is safe for all the patrons of the park.

Enter ForeverLawn Penn-Ohio and the SportsGrass team. SportsGrass Edge XP is an incredibly durable, great performing product that is built on the premium backing platform. The construction of the product with the nylon thatch requires less infill and stabilizes the infill that is used. This greatly reduces the infill fly-out and migration issues.
Still, the Salem Community Center wanted to try a different infill option. The SportsGrass team suggested Envirofill from US Greentech as a good alternative to rubber fill. Additionally, the SportsGrass team uses an amazing piece of equipment called the Sandmatic to evenly apply the infill and groom the field, leaving a perfectly smooth, level finish.
The Salem Community Center couldn’t be happier with the end result. A first-class indoor playing field, no more infill fly-out, and a cleaner, nicer facility as a result.
