Cedartown High School

Cedartown, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Cedartown High School in Cedartown, GA to provide the essential base work and site preparation required for converting the school’s stadium football field from natural grass to a modern synthetic turf system. This foundational phase ensures the new field will perform reliably, drain efficiently, and support long-term durability for high school athletics.

The work delivered a stable and engineered platform that enables the next stages of full field installation while modernizing the school’s athletic infrastructure through proven sports construction practices.

Project Goals

  • Prepare the stadium field for a complete synthetic turf conversion
  • Improve grading and drainage to support all-weather performance
  • Establish a stable sub-base designed for long-term reliability
  • Reduce maintenance demands associated with natural grass
  • Create the foundation needed for a high-performance athletic field

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Engineering

The project began with a site evaluation focusing on existing field conditions, slope, soil performance, and drainage behavior. Design efforts centered on reshaping the field profile, improving stormwater management flow, and engineering a structurally sound base that meets the requirements of synthetic turf systems.

Proper field elevation and subgrade specifications were determined to ensure consistent surface performance once turf installation is complete.

Site Construction

Construction activities focused on preparing the stadium field for the next phase of synthetic turf installation. Key tasks included:

  • Removal of the existing natural grass surface and unsuitable soils
  • Precision grading to establish correct field elevations and crown
  • Installation of a compacted aggregate base designed for efficient drainage
  • Construction and enhancement of underfield drainage systems
  • Sub-base preparation to meet engineering specifications for turf systems

This foundational work ensures the field will maintain stability under heavy athletic use and drain effectively during adverse weather.

Project Highlights

  • Completed structural base work for a forthcoming synthetic turf field
  • Improved grading and drainage performance across the entire stadium footprint
  • Established a stable, engineered foundation for long-term field reliability
  • Reduced future maintenance requirements compared to natural grass systems
  • Ensured compatibility with modern synthetic turf installation standards
  • Improved readiness for year-round practices and competitive play

Results

With the completion of base work and site preparation, Cedartown High School now has a structurally sound and drainage-optimized foundation for the upcoming installation of a synthetic turf football field. Athletes and coaches will ultimately benefit from a consistent, durable, and weather-resilient surface built on a professionally engineered base.

The improved subgrade conditions and drainage system will significantly enhance long-term field performance, reduce maintenance demands, and support reliable scheduling for practices and games.
