SporTurf TrueGrass Artificial Grass
Sporturf™ TrueGrass is a premium, high-performance athletic field synthetic turf system engineered for extreme durability under severe playing conditions. Originally introduced in 2004, it serves as one of the most widely used and thoroughly tested stadium surface options in the Sporturf lineup. Selected by highly competitive athletic programs (such as Briarwood Christian School and Jackson Academy) to withstand heavy rotational traction and severe weather schedules. Installed across major elite facilities like the George and June Schaaf Sports Complex to create uniform infield play areas and batting cages. Deployed on public fields (such as Bob Leonard Park for the Town of Farragut) where a single shared field must host soccer, lacrosse, and youth camps back-to-back without wearing thin. Universities like Maryville combine TrueGrass in outfields alongside Fielder's Choice infields to perfectly control ball bounce speeds and eliminate glare from stadium lights. Uses highly advanced, flat parallel slit-film fibers. This structural composition has the longest-lasting yarn life available, meaning the blades resist splitting or degradation even after years of continuous cleat grinding.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Sporturf™ TrueGrass is a premium, high-traffic stadium artificial turf engineered specifically for extreme-use outdoor athletic fields and massive indoor multi-sport fieldhouses. Built using Sporturf's parallel slit-film technology, its primary purpose is to outlast traditional monofilament blades under continuous, aggressive shoe traction. TrueGrass is heavily deployed on shared fields that must transition immediately between football, soccer, and lacrosse without recovery downtime. Highly competitive athletic programs (such as Vestavia Hills High School and Jackson Academy) select it to prevent bald traction spots along high-wear areas like football hash marks and soccer goal mouths. Frequently paired with a specialized infield turf (like Fielder's Choice) to maintain consistent ball bounce, minimize glare from stadium lighting, and allow accurate outfield ball tracking. Installed by civil contractors for heavily scheduled public parks (such as Bob Leonard Park for the Town of Farragut) to accommodate dense rotational community usage, youth sports camps, and local leagues simultaneously.

Recommended Applications
Sporturf™ TrueGrass applications span competitive high school and collegiate stadiums, municipal multi-sport complexes, baseball outfields, and indoor sports fieldhouses. Engineered with high-durability parallel slit-film technology, TrueGrass is specifically built to withstand intense, non-stop foot traffic and rotational cleat abrasion. TrueGrass is highly specified for shared athletic stadiums that host a continuous rotation of football, soccer, and lacrosse games. Traditional grass fields quickly turn into hazardous mud pits under this kind of scheduling. TrueGrass maintains its structural integrity and blades even under heavy player traffic along high-wear zones like football hash marks and soccer goal mouths. Civil contractors install TrueGrass across expansive municipal sports fields to accommodate dense community usage. Because it does not require rest or recovery periods like natural grass, city parks can safely run back-to-back youth sports camps, local adult leagues, and weekend tournaments simultaneously without developing bald spots or ruts.

Installation & Care Notes
Sporturf™ TrueGrass installations follow strict civil engineering and architectural standards to support extreme, multi-sport athletic schedules.Whether deployed at high-profile high school stadiums (like the Grants High School TrueGrass Field built by Sport Surfaces Distributing, Inc.) or inside massive commercial fieldhouses, a TrueGrass installation requires a heavily fortified sub-base and specific mechanical anchoring to survive years of high-impact cleat friction. A 6" x 12" concrete curb containing structural rebar is poured completely around the field's footprint. Pressure-treated 2x4 timber or composite nailer boards are locked directly to the concrete curb using 1/2-inch stainless steel expansion anchors. The primary backing of the TrueGrass carpet is pulled tight using heavy-duty carpet stretchers and screwed down to the timber frame using stainless steel screws spaced exactly 12 inches on center.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
Warranty & Availability
Sporturf™ TrueGrass athletic field systems are backed by an official 8-year manufacturer’s limited warranty. Issued directly by the parent manufacturing company, Controlled Products, this commercial-grade policy protects municipal parks, high school stadiums, and collegiate sports complexes against structural fabric and material failures. Because TrueGrass features a highly durable slit-film fiber structure optimized for football, soccer, and multi-sport play, its warranty focuses heavily on specific mechanical thresholds, UV tolerance, and strict maintenance compliance. Guarantees that the TrueGrass slit-film fibers will not experience premature rot, structural brittleness, or excessive color loss due to natural sunlight exposure. Covers the field against accelerated fiber degradation. The material is deemed defective if the yarn loses more than 50% of its original factory tensile strength within the 8-year timeframe.
