Sports Turf Company, a specialty sports construction and surfacing company, is proud to announce it has been awarded the artificial turf field renovation project for five Columbia County High Schools. The renovation of all five stadiums will take place this winter following the conclusion of the 2021 high school football season.

The five Columbia County projects include:

  • Grovetown High School in Grovetown, Ga.
  • Lakeside High School in Evans, Ga.
  • Harlem High School in Harlem, Ga.
  • Greenbrier High School in Evans, Ga.
  • Evans High School in Evans, Ga.

Sports Turf Company will renovate all five high schools’ existing natural grass fields to artificial turf systems that surpasses other systems in terms of safety, durability, and performance. The artificial turf system features AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D3 HD turf system, Brock YSR shock pad, and the organic infill, BrockFILL. AstroTurf’s RootZone 3D3 turf system is a performance artificial turf system that combines slit film and monofilament fibers with a RootZone layer of texturized fibers for optimum durability and better shock absorbency. The Brock YSR shock pad and BrockFILL are specifically engineered to optimize safety for athletes during impacts to the surface. BrockFILL is the latest in alternative infills and is sustainably grown and harvested in Georgia.

“We are honored that after extensive research the Columbia County School System has chosen Sports Turf Company to renovate all five of their high school fields,” said Sports Turf Company President Todd Wiggins. “We are installing an award-winning system that encompasses technology that far surpasses any other system in the industry. We’re confident that the players, coaches, and administrators will notice the difference of the fields in terms of footing, heat reduction, and the players’ impact with the surface.”

Sports Turf specializes in the construction and installation of sport surfaces, including natural grass and artificial turf fields, tennis courts, and track surfaces. In addition, Sports Turf Company serves as a consultant and owners’ advocate through the entire process of selecting the best facility solutions and surfaces to meet owners’ specific needs.
