Natural Grass and Synthetic Turf - What's the Real Cost?

Researchers from the University of Minnesota and Penn State University, in collaboration with the Western Canada Turfgrass Association, are conducting a study to better understand the true costs of natural grass and synthetic turf sports fields.

We are seeking input from high-level decision makers, including facility directors, field managers, and contractors with firsthand knowledge of field construction, maintenance, and usage.

This in-depth survey will help update outdated data on field costs and use, providing valuable insights to guide future decisions across the industry.
