Turf Install Project Begins May 20!
Thanks to the generosity and dedication of many members of our Pinecrest Academy community, our long-awaited Turf Athletic Field is about to become a reality!
The Turf Install Project will officially begin on Monday, May 20, as engineers from Pinnacle Design/Build Group and Deluxe Athletics measure and conduct site preparation.
Sod removal will begin shortly thereafter, and installation of the turf will be in full-swing as we enter the summer. Plans are to unveil the new Turf Field for the first Paladins home Football game!
We are excited to make this transition from sod to turf for several reasons:
- It will be the first major improvement project in over ten years for our Athletic program
- Having a turf field will solve programmatic problems, like scheduling conflicts, due to weather that has traditionally affected the use of our sodded field
- We’ll realize a significant savings in maintenance costs, time, set-up, and field lining
- The cost savings from maintaining a turf field instead of grass can be diverted back to academics
We will keep you updated on the Turf Installation Project as it begins and throughout the summer, all the way through completion.
More than anything, the generosity from our amazing community benefits the children we serve here. Some of our students shared their gratitude in a “thank you” video. View it HERE.
