Overview
Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with McEachern High School in Powder Springs, GA to complete the re-turfing of the school’s stadium field. Finished in July 2023, the project replaced an aging synthetic surface with a modern turf system engineered for football, soccer, band practice, and year-round athletic use.
This work is part of a broader multi-phase athletic facility improvement effort that includes the full conversions of the school’s baseball and softball fields.
Project Goals
- Replace the existing synthetic turf with a modern, higher-performance system
- Improve field safety, traction, and consistency for multi-sport use
- Reduce maintenance requirements and extend the field’s usable lifespan
- Enhance drainage performance and surface reliability after heavy rain
- Support football, soccer, marching band, PE programming, and community events
Our Scope of Work
Surface Removal and Evaluation
The project began with the controlled removal of the existing synthetic turf system. Once removed, Capital Sports Construction evaluated the condition of the underlying base and drainage components to identify any corrective measures needed before installing the new surfacing.
Base Preparation and Surface Corrections
Before re-turfing, the field received targeted base repairs and refinements to ensure a uniform, stable foundation for the new synthetic system. Work included:
- Laser grading to restore proper elevations and field slope
- Aggregate base touch-ups to eliminate inconsistencies
- Inspection and verification of drainage system functionality
These steps ensured optimal performance for the incoming turf system.
Synthetic Turf Installation
Capital Sports Construction installed a new, high-performance synthetic turf surface designed to support football, soccer, and general school athletics. Installation included:
- Placement of a durable monofilament turf system engineered for traction and player safety
- Application of appropriate infill to achieve consistent surface playability
- Seam reinforcement and edge anchoring to withstand heavy use
- Final grooming and performance checks to ensure readiness for athletic programs
The completed surface provides improved durability, enhanced aesthetics, and predictable play characteristics across seasons.
Project Highlights
- Delivered a full turf replacement for a heavily used stadium field
- Improved field safety, performance consistency, and all-weather reliability
- Enhanced surface quality for football, soccer, and marching band activities
- Reduced maintenance requirements and extended lifecycle of the athletic surface
- Supported McEachern’s multi-phase campus sports facility modernization
Results
With the new synthetic turf installed, McEachern High School now benefits from a modernized stadium field capable of supporting daily practices, competitive play, and large school events. The upgraded surface offers consistent traction, reliable drainage, and year-round usability, improving the athletic experience for students and coaching staff.
This project, completed ahead of the fall sports season, strengthens the school’s overall athletic infrastructure and complements the baseball and softball field conversions completed in 2024.
