Gappsi Long Island, NY

There comes a time in the lifespan of all sports fields when they begin to age and wear out. This recent indoor soccer field job in Ronkonkoma, NY, was installed initially and completed 20 years ago.  Sometimes, a sports field requires some maintenance to be restored to the glory days of its former self. The technology of the synthetic surface we use on sports fields today is remarkably different from that used just five years ago. Gappsi can introduce sports field owners to new synthetic turf technology to make older sports fields appear new again.

Our artificial turf sports fields are durable, dependable, safe, and suitable indoors and outdoors. This synthetic option offers unlimited play, low maintenance, and performance found only in the best-kept grasses. Our proven sports field turf grass surfaces are ideal for soccer fields, football fields, baseball fields, multi-purpose fields, lacrosse fields, field hockey fields, bocce courts, croquet courts, and more.

Benefits of Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf Grass

Consistent Performance: Our field turf provides a consistent and reliable playing surface suitable for heavy use and all weather conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for use year-round in sports fields.

Durable: Our field turf is made from synthetic fibers that are resistant to wear and tear, making it long-lasting and cost-effective. It is also low maintenance, requiring minimal effort to keep your sports field in excellent condition.

Environmentally Friendly: Besides its practical benefits, our field turf is also environmentally friendly. Synthetic turf requires less water and maintenance than natural grass, making it a sustainable choice for all sports fields.

We Make Synthetic Turf Removal Look Easy

Synthetic turf significantly affects game performance and user comfort. The turf’s elastic memory and fiber structure tend to deteriorate over time due to play. When this happens, the turf must be replaced to avoid injuries and ensure perfect playability.

Artificial turf fields are robust and can take a beating for quite some time, but nothing lasts forever. After years of heavy use, you will see signs on and around the field suggesting you should consider replacing the turf field playing surface.

Here are some of the “red flags” to look out for:

• Inlays and seams start loosening up and need repair more frequently
• The turf field surface color fades from bright green to grey-green
• Loose turf fibers scattered around the pitch, infill granules piling up on the sides of the turf field
• An uneven overall look and splitting turf fibers all around the field

Removing artificial grass is a process. To get started, you need a team of highly skilled professionals and a range of equipment. Gappsi has streamlined this process over the years and is one of the most reliable companies on Long Island.

Synthetic Sports Turf Replacement Process

Planning: A detailed site plan and timeline are necessary to deconstruct the turf efficiently. Precise planning and professional site management are essential.

Removing the old system: The actual work of deconstruction begins with removing the turf and separating it from the infill granules and sand. The artificial turf, infill granules, and sand must be removed and separated.

Transporting, disposing of, and recycling waste material: Now that the turf system is removed, the last task is to recycle what you can and dispose of the rest.

Installing the new synthetic turf field surface: Last but not least, the chosen new turf surface is installed on top of the base layer, and a new infill is distributed on top of the turf.

Things to Consider Before Installing New Artificial Turf

Artificial Turf Style

There are so many turf styles to choose from, so select a type that fits your desired aesthetic—short pile, longer pile, all green, etc. We recommend looking at different styles and samples to see what suits your needs.

The new turf we used is manufactured in Italy. This company supplies and builds most sports courts and soccer fields throughout Europe and the world. This turf is a special turf specifically made for indoor use. It requires no infill; we only used silica sand to create weight over the turf. The turf has different sizes, pile heights, and shapes, making it very tight. With a fast-moving, high-intensity sport like soccer, you want a smooth surface that feels great under the feet and the ball. Plus, a consistent and resilient surface can reduce the risk of injuries. Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf by Italgreen gives you the best of both worlds: a natural underfoot feel like playing on real grass and a premium synthetic turf system’s smooth consistency, durability, and safety.

Italgreen soccer turf represents the maximum technological expression of its genre. It guarantees easy maintenance, exceptional aesthetic appearance, and exceptional performance for soccer and all its derivations, such as futsal and 8-a-side courts.

Italgreen synthetic soccer turf is designed and produced according to the most severe international regulations to guarantee maximum safety, shock absorption, and non-allergenic properties. The constant research and innovation that distinguish the Italgreen model has allowed the Italian company to obtain meaningful certifications such as FIGC and FIR. The artificial soccer turf produced by Italgreen is approved according to the most recent European standard. It is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.

NEXT – Underfelt

We are laying down Next. It is a suspension product that keeps the grass elevated from touching the concrete. It also works as a suspension system, separating the turf from the concrete.  

NEXT optimizes the synthetic turf system’s anti-shock performance, improving performance during sports practice. Thanks to its reticular structure, it also offers draining support integrated into the artificial turf system, which is primarily studied for horizontal drainage underfelts, as demonstrated by laboratory reports issued by LABOSPORT ITALIA.

The shock pad has high performance and excellent draining capacities, complies with international regulations, and is 100% recyclable. The product is fully recyclable and in full conformity.

Innovative Natural Infill

Italgreen’s best system is Geofill®, the prestigious natural infill patented by Italgreen. It consists mainly of plant fibers. Approved by the most relevant teams, its unique and innovative organoleptic properties give this synthetic turf system a touch of incredible naturalness.  This is the infill Italgreen uses in most fields in Italy and abroad.

How Long Can Turf Last?

The duration of synthetic turf depends on various factors, such as the quality of the materials used, the occupancy rate of the courts or fields, and the type of courts, indoor or outdoor.

To keep your synthetic grass flooring performing, periodically clean, brush, and fill any sand that needs to be removed. This is the latest indoor soccer sports game court built by Gappsi in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, NY.

Consider Signing Up for Our Professional Turf Field Maintenance Program

Without regular care and maintenance, damage to the pitch will be its undoing sooner than the club and, above all, the players would like. As is often the case, the more often the field is used, the more you should invest in the maintenance and ongoing upkeep of the turf system.

Synthetic turf field maintenance is divided into permanent care, maintenance, and intensive cleaning. Gappsi offers these services using specialized turf maintenance equipment.

If you lack previous experience and know-how in artificial turf field maintenance, we highly recommend contacting our team at Gappsi. It’s the best way to protect the field’s users from injuries and the long-term financial value of your asset.
