Renovating a natural-grass athletic field takes more than new sod — it requires a precise understanding of field engineering, soil science, drainage dynamics, and the performance standards athletes expect. At Hummer, our renovation services breathe new life into worn, uneven, or aging fields by rebuilding them from the root zone up. Whether a field suffers from poor drainage, inconsistent footing, overuse, or years of patchwork repairs, we deliver a complete transformation that restores safety, durability, and elite playability.
Our approach begins with a forensic assessment of your existing surface: grading irregularities, compaction levels, root zone composition, irrigation functionality, and overall turf health. From there, we design a renovation plan that may include laser grading, root zone correction, drainage installation, irrigation upgrades, sod replacement, or overseeding — all coordinated to meet your season schedule and field-use demands. Every step is executed with specialized equipment and proven construction methods to ensure long-term performance.
Whether you’re preparing for a new athletic season, correcting chronic field issues, or upgrading to a higher level of competition, Hummer delivers natural-turf renovations that perform from the first whistle to the final play. The result: a safer, smoother, more consistent playing surface built to support athletes at every level.
We begin by stripping away worn turf, compacted soils, and failing infrastructure. This clean slate allows us to address underlying issues like drainage failures, poor grading, or unsuitable rootzone material.
Using precision grading and soil engineering, we rebuild the foundation of the field. A properly designed base ensures consistent surface levels, reliable water movement, and the stability required for intense athletic play.
Overhauls include installation of advanced drainage and irrigation systems. From subsurface drainage for multipurpose fields to sport-specific irrigation zones, we deliver systems designed to protect turf health and extend playable days.
Once the foundation is set, we install new sod or seed blends selected for climate, sport, and usage intensity. Whether a football field requiring extreme durability, a soccer pitch needing smooth ball roll, or a baseball outfield demanding uniform density, we choose and establish turf for maximum performance.
Complete overhauls often extend beyond the surface itself. Hummer integrates upgrades such as fencing, lighting, scoreboards, and site amenities, ensuring the entire facility is modernized alongside the new playing surface.
Every complete overhaul is backed by Hummer’s proven maintenance and agronomic programs, ensuring that your investment remains protected. Our goal is not just to rebuild, but to deliver a field that performs better — and lasts longer — than its predecessor.
