Commercial turf maintenance is a structured, ongoing maintenance program designed for the unique demands of large-scale artificial turf installations. Unlike residential cleaning, which typically involves periodic visits, commercial maintenance operates on a scheduled contract basis with defined service levels, performance standards, compliance documentation, and detailed reporting after every visit.
Commercial properties face challenges that residential turf does not. Sports fields endure extreme foot traffic with cleats, slides, and falls that rapidly degrade fiber integrity and displace infill. Playgrounds must meet strict health and safety standards that require documented sanitization schedules. Dog parks process hundreds of pet visits per week. HOA common areas must maintain consistent aesthetics across large areas that are simultaneously used by dozens of residents. Each application requires a maintenance strategy tailored to its specific demands.
Our commercial maintenance providers deliver the full spectrum of turf care services, including deep cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing, grooming, infill management, weed control, drainage testing, and seam repair, bundled into custom maintenance plans that align with your operational schedule, budget, and regulatory requirements. The result is turf that performs consistently, looks professional, and lasts decades rather than years.

Our Commercial Maintenance Process
A professional, systematic approach from initial assessment through ongoing maintenance and reporting.
Comprehensive Site Assessment
A senior technician conducts a detailed evaluation of your entire turf installation, documenting current condition, usage patterns, traffic maps, problem areas, infill levels, drainage performance, and any existing damage. This assessment forms the foundation of your customized maintenance plan.
Custom Maintenance Plan Design
Based on the site assessment, a maintenance plan is designed that specifies service frequency, scope of each visit, seasonal adjustments, and performance benchmarks. The plan aligns with your operational schedule to minimize disruption, accommodating event calendars, seasonal usage changes, and budget cycles.
Scheduled Deep Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintenance visits are executed on the agreed schedule with consistent, documented procedures. Each visit includes the contracted scope of services: cleaning, sanitizing, grooming, infill checks, weed inspection, drainage verification, and any additional treatments specified in your plan. All work follows standardized protocols.
Detailed Reporting and Documentation
After every visit, you receive a comprehensive condition report documenting all services performed, current turf condition, infill levels, any issues identified, and recommendations for future attention. This documentation supports compliance requirements, warranty maintenance, budgeting, and accountability for facility managers and HOA boards.
Benefits of a Maintenance Contract
Structured maintenance programs deliver advantages that one-off service calls cannot match.
Predictable Budgeting
Fixed monthly or quarterly costs make budgeting straightforward. No surprise invoices from emergency cleanings or deferred maintenance that has spiraled into expensive repairs.
Volume Pricing Advantage
Contract clients receive significantly lower per-square-foot rates compared to ad-hoc service calls. The larger your property and the longer your contract term, the greater your savings.
Priority Scheduling
Maintenance contract clients receive priority scheduling for both routine visits and emergency service calls. This ensures your turf is maintained on time, every time, without competing for availability.
Compliance and Documentation
For properties subject to health, safety, or HOA regulations, maintenance contracts provide the documented service history required to demonstrate compliance during inspections and audits.
Warranty Protection
Many turf manufacturers require documented regular maintenance to honor warranty claims. A professional maintenance contract provides the records needed to protect your warranty coverage.
Extended Turf Lifespan
Consistently maintained commercial turf lasts 15 to 25 years. Neglected turf degrades within 5 to 8 years. The ROI of a maintenance contract is measured in decades of avoided replacement costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about commercial turf maintenance.
Commercial turf maintenance is typically priced based on the total square footage of turf, the scope of services included in the maintenance plan, and the frequency of visits. Volume discounts are standard for larger properties, and long-term contracts of 12 months or more often secure the most favorable rates. Most providers offer tiered service packages ranging from basic monthly cleaning to comprehensive weekly programs that include sanitizing, grooming, infill maintenance, and detailed reporting.
The ideal maintenance frequency depends on the type of facility and its usage levels. High-traffic sports fields and playgrounds typically require weekly or bi-weekly service. Commercial landscaping and HOA common areas generally perform well with monthly maintenance. Dog parks and pet facilities often need weekly treatment due to the volume of pet waste. Your maintenance provider will assess your specific property and recommend a schedule that balances performance standards with budget considerations.
A comprehensive commercial maintenance contract typically includes scheduled deep cleaning visits, surface debris removal, sanitizing and disinfection, grooming and fiber restoration, infill level monitoring and replenishment, weed inspection and treatment, drainage testing, seam and edge inspection, detailed condition reporting after each visit, and priority scheduling for emergency service calls. The specific services and frequency are customized based on your property type, usage, and budget.
