East View High School Baseball Field

East View High School is part of Georgetown Independent School District, a mid-sized district experiencing rapid growth. Due to high usage, they needed to replace East View High School's synthetic turf baseball field.

Georgetown ISD was looking to upgrade their standard crumb rubber and silica sand system with a higher quality playing surface that met their budgetary needs. The old field had "irregular hops" when hitting balls, creating a trampoline effect, and maintained a higher surface temperature than newer options available today.

KYA Services received full buy-in from the district after presenting the NR34 turf system that focuses on player safety and performance. KYA maintained a tight installation window and provided an extensive warranty package.

The NR34 turf system is engineered to mimic the characteristics of natural grass and clay. The East View HS field is the first turf system of its kind to utilize a shock pad underlay system, enhancing player safety and performance. In addition, it utilizes an alternative natural infill that helps keep the turf surface 20-30 degrees cooler than traditional crumb rubber.

The school district was pleased with their field and the emphasis on safety and quality for their student athletes.

“This project is about way more than turf; it’s about keeping our players safe.”
