Oxbridge Academy sought to enhance their football field with new synthetic turf and to establish natural turf on their practice field. It was essential to create a multi-sport field that could endure year-round use while maintaining optimal condition.
The LandTek Group® designed and executed the project, incorporating a stone base and an effective drainage system. We prioritized strong connections by ensuring that no corners were cut in terms of drainage or fill material. Our consulting expertise and knowledge of turf materials led to football fields that were completed on schedule and within budget.
Following significant flooding challenges, The LandTek Group® effectively addressed adverse ground conditions that necessitated extensive soil modifications. The practice football fields were designed to withstand daily usage and the demanding weather conditions of Florida.
