Soil Science

  PRZ Sports Turf Consulting

1. The current state of the fields. This information is derived from 17 years of on site consulting on sports fields, from a data base of over 18,000 soil analyses from all over the United States and from 17 years of teaching our PRZ Sports Field Maintenance Seminars in 48 states (78 seminars in 2006).
2. The causes of the current conditions will be explained in detail. This is important to understand so that these fields don't return to the state that they are in now.
3. The potential remedies will be discussed in detail including costs for each. This is the area where:
4. A complete Maintenance Calendar will be provided which shows every maintenance task that will be required, each fertilizer and amendment applications and their amounts.
5. A Field Usage /Availability Analysis Chart is provided for each field at each site. This chart shows you exactly how much wear each of your fields can tolerate on a month by month basis and where you might actually have some additional hours of wear available during the year.
6. Where necessary, our assessment compares your current composite wear at each site with the addition of an artificial turf field. In some extreme cases, the addition of a lighted artificial turf field is the only way we can keep grass growing on the client's natural turf fields.
7. In all of the above parts of the PRZ Sports Field Assessment the costs are carefully laid out so that boards and committees can thoughtfully compare all of the options.
