Sports Fields

Full sports field turf for schools, parks departments, youth leagues, and private facilities across the DFW metroplex. Baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse — whatever your program needs. No more rainouts. No more dragging the infield. Consistent hops, every game.

Why turf for sports fields in DFW

Natural-grass fields in North Texas realistically support 8-12 hours of play per week before the surface degrades. Between August heat, spring thunderstorms that leave a field unplayable for three days, and the shrink-swell cycle in our clay soil, a well-built grass field still costs $80,000-$150,000 a year to maintain and still can't match the playing hours of turf. A properly engineered turf field supports 40-plus hours a week, year-round, and pays back its capital cost in rentals and maintenance savings inside of five years.

What Bearcat installs for sports programs

• Full baseball and softball infield conversions — skinned-area retrofits or full-field turf with regulation mound, plate, and base positions.
• Multi-purpose soccer fields — full-size pitches, 7v7 training fields, multi-field complexes. See our complete guide to multi-purpose sports field construction.
• Football and lacrosse fields — permanent striping or paint-overlay for multi-sport programming.
• Training fields and batting-cage complexes for clubs and academies.
• Commercial playground turf — ASTM F1292 fall-height rated shock pad + turf for parks and school programs.
