Natural Turf Protection

Since energy and labor costs have risen in the last few years, the operating expenses of large facilities such as baseball stadiums have been increasing exponentially. In order to offset rising costs, many facilities have begun using their fields for non-athletic events to open up additional streams of revenue.

In order to protect the field from pedestrian traffic, equipment, stages, and seating, the use of natural turf protection has been on the rise. These covers allow building management to use the facility for other events without worrying about the damage that may occur to the turf.

It's not only street shoes and stages that can result in wear and tear on the playing surface, however. Most stadiums now also invest in batting practice turf protection to minimize the damage done during the team's practice and workout sessions. Covermaser offers a wide variety of protective surfaces for playing areas, giving groundskeepers access to solutions that work best for each particular stadium.

Winter Turf Protection

Since teams play in a variety of climates, it is imperative to protect the grass from severe weather during the off-season. Winter turf protection is an important part of each facility's maintenance program. A quality cover can protect the turf from rain, snow, sleet, and sheets of ice.

Proper protection during the off-season, such as natural turf protection, also encourages the grass to green up quickly in the spring. These protective procedures during the off-season will result in fans being able to enjoy a beautiful green turf when the season opens.

Batting Practice Turf Protection

Some of the most rigorous use that the field sees may actually be when the stands are empty. The team's practice time involves many pairs of cleats being worn for long periods of time in the same area.

Covermaster's batting practice turf protection products protect the area around home plate from repeated use during batting practice. Without implementing these precautionary procedures the turf would require replacement, and the dirt would need to be reworked well before game time.

The use of playing surface protective coverings, such as winter turf protection, will reduce the cost of maintaining the field and save time during the hectic baseball season.
