Sports Turf Style Lawns

A flat, dense, hard-wearing lawn for backyard games and athletic fields, and the program that keeps it that way.

Some lawns are built for play. A sports turf style lawn is flat, dense and firm, with grass that recovers quickly and a surface that is safe to run on. It suits soccer, football, baseball and backyard games, and the same principles apply to school fields and community parks. In Middle Tennessee, bermuda is the first choice for sunny fields, and tall fescue and bluegrass blends work in cooler or shadier spots.

The program is intense compared with a normal lawn. Mow low and often, aerate once or twice a year, overseed worn areas, feed on a recovery schedule and control weeds and pests. Level low spots and fix bare zones before they widen, and rotate use when you can. Irrigation coverage matters because hard-used turf needs even moisture. With the right care, even a modest backyard can handle a lot of play.
