FieldTurf by American Artificial Turf: A Division of Hicks Landscape Contractors

Hicks Landscape offers synthetic grass solutions that provide an artificial, yet fully permeable surface that duplicates the feel and playing conditions of real grass to our customers in Raleigh, North Carolina and beyond. FieldTurf™ is offered in a variety of choices to meet the needs of residential and commercial applications — from families and pet owners to golf enthusiasts.

FieldTurf™ comes standard with a 15-year warranty and is the only synthetic turf approved by the Raleigh Historic Society.

What is FieldTurf™?

Created from REVOLUTION Fiber that uses state-of-the-art processes to most closely replicate the look and feel of natural grass, FieldTurf™ looks more authentic than any other synthetic grass available.

With a matte finish and true field and olive green colors, the fibers can flex, twist, and rebound like natural grass blades — without the sheen of a typical synthetic grass.

How is FieldTurf™ different from synthetic turf?

FieldTurf™ is different from traditional synthetic turf with a fiber surface that is soft and silky instead of a dense, abrasive rug. Players can slide, tackle, and tumble on the unique blend of specially treated Polyethylene fibers without fear of abrasions. FieldTurf™ does not rely on an underlying shock pad for safety and comfort. Similar to its natural grass cousin, the fibers are surrounded by a special blend of synthetic “earth” — a patented mixture of smooth silica sand.

What are the benefits of FieldTurf™?

FieldTurf™ is a top-of-the-line option for synthetic turf in residential and commercial settings. Benefits of FieldTurf™ from Hicks Landscape include:

• Similar look and feel of natural grass
• Synthetic material won’t fade
• Industry-leading 15-to-20 year life span
• Features a 100% permeable backing for excellent drainage
• Maximum-strength, built-in weed barrier
• Soft, non-abrasive surface for added safety and comfort
• Hypoallergenic surface that’s safe for playgrounds
• 100% safe for pets – liquid waste drains straight through, never requiring deodorizers
• Never needs to be watered, mowed, or fertilized

Family Safe Synthetic Grass

A Hicks Landscape-installed FieldTurf™ surface is 100% safe for playgrounds and pets. The synthetic surface does not attract common yard pests, requires no chemicals, and provides a hypoallergenic surface.

FieldTurf™ is perfect for pets in Raleigh and eastern and central North Carolina. It allows liquid waste to drain right through, and the turf typically never requires deodorizers or ammonia neutralizers to stay clean and fresh-smelling and waste won’t discolor or stain it. FieldTurf™ lawns can be enjoyed all day and can function with an existing irrigation system for summer cooling and cleaning.

Commercial Synthetic Turf

FieldTurf™ provides a superior alternative to natural grass in commercial landscaping. It provides a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly lawn surface that looks professional and allows for company-specific branding with a permanent application of your company’s name or logo.

FieldTurf™ from Hicks Landscape is a secure investment in a synthetic lawn that pays for itself in five to seven years. A commercial installation can last an industry-best 15 to 20 years and drastically reduces recurring landscape maintenance costs.

In addition, installing FieldTurf™ can help your building obtain up to 18 LEED credits by meeting the U.S. Green Building Council’s national standard for what constitutes a “green building.”

Environmental Benefits of Synthetic Grass

With the look and feel of real grass, FieldTurf™ synthetic grass offers sustainable durability that cannot be achieved with a natural lawn. Harsh environmental factors and weather conditions have no impact on the color or quality of an FieldTurf™ surface. Indoors or out, FieldTurf™ allows for spectacular applications in creative designs incorporating existing landscape features, such as live trees and bushes, or around large objects and impossible angles.

FieldTurf™ provides numerous environmental benefits, including:

• Reducing water use by up to 70%
• No need to use fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides
• No carbon emissions from lawn mowers
• No run-off into sewer systems or the ocean
