Our Sports Field Construction Services & Capabilities
Design & Planning
A good-looking turf field begins with a strong, well-vetted design. Motz provides a full-service, in-house CAD department with the skill and experience to make your vision come to life. Our team of CAD professionals will fully map out all the necessary “below the surface” drawings to get your build underway, and set your field up for success. That includes base requirements, drainage planning, site allowances, site limitations, and more.
Build & Install
With decades of experience in the field industry, Motz will help you maximize your space with a custom-built, professional-grade field. We are committed to researching and implementing innovative technology behind the building and installation of each field.
Field Consultations
Our team of experts will evaluate your project site and execute a needs analysis to understand your goals, desired outcomes, and overall performance requirements. You can count on our Field Consultants to work with your team to meet your budgetary goals while providing insights and recommendations for ways to get the most value and return on your field investment. We also provide access to continued consulting to ensure you get the continued performance and support your field needs and deserves.
Remove & Replace
With synthetic turf field lifespans ranging anywhere from 8 to 12 years, it’s important to have a synthetic turf removal and replacement plan in place. The synthetic turf industry has likely evolved and changed since your original installation. Now you have new and innovative ways to customize your surface. The Motz team will help you develop a plan that best fits your needs, timeline, and budget when replacement becomes necessary.
Field Construction Management
With Motz’s field construction management services, our team steps in to manage projects of any scope or size, giving you a single point of contact for your project, less vendors to manage, and far less headache. We’ll customize our field construction management services specifically to your facility’s needs. From vendor vetting to logistics management to timeline coordination and more, let us take the worry off of your shoulders.
Base Remediation
Every strong building has a strong foundation. Your synthetic turf field is no different. If you are a synthetic turf field owner approaching a replacement, you are learning there are many things to consider as your planning process begins. One major component is the condition of your existing base. Motz can evaluate your field’s foundation and formulate a synthetic turf base remediation plan. In addition, we offer a patent-pending solution called ReFill. The process includes extracting infill from the old synthetic turf and incorporating it into the existing base to improve compaction and drainage for the replacement synthetic turf field. This option can not only save you money, but it’s also an environmentally-friendly and sustainable solution.
Weather Remediation
Things like unexpected flooding or damaging winds can severely impact the safety and playability of the field surface. While there is no way to prevent the impact or damage caused by unforeseeable weather conditions, you can count on the Motz team to help guide your facility through the process of getting your field back up and running. We are a dedicated partner who will provide an assessment and recommendation for proper remediation, along with additional services that help any weather-related synthetic turf damage.

We are incredibly proud of our new training facility and the impact it is making on the greater Louisville community. It is a game-changer for our professional teams, youth academy, and the community as a whole. Partnering with The Motz Group, a long-time Louisville field builder, enabled us to make soccer easily available to all on high-quality, high-performance athletic fields.
We pursued the ambitious construction of four turf fields simultaneously with Motz. From the initial planning phase to the design phase, and through the construction phase Motz was continually collaborative, efficient, and highly effective. All four fields exceeded the expectations of our students, schools, and communities. Motz were great partners in the construction of all four turf fields.
Grass track reconstruction was one of Churchill Downs’ largest projects. Being able to rely on Motz’s extensive expertise made life a lot less stressful. Their continuous communication kept everyone up to speed and their willingness to flex and adapt kept the project on time and on budget.
Our goal with this playing surface was to provide a championship-quality pitch that exceeds MLS standards and best practices for player safety, playability, and aesthetics. The combination of turfgrass technology and products that we’ve compiled here will allow us to do exactly that.
Thanks to Motz, we have high-performing fields that offer consistent play across the board. We're grateful to have had Motz team's expertise to deliver our projects on time, on budget even in the tightest of timelines within a tricky urban campus.
The selection for our new surface was comprehensive and a very detailed one. It became very clear to us early on that The Motz Group would not only have the best product, but could meet all the demanding timelines, along with very reliable service and innovative ideas to enhance our vision! When you combine those things it creates a great team, and “teamwork makes the dream work!” Motz is a first class organization!
