Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed synthetic turf field replacement at Camden Catholic High School in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
The Client
Founded in Camden in 1887 by the Sisters of Mercy, Camden Catholic High School later moved to Cherry Hill after a fire damaged its Camden campus in 1960. The school retained its historic name at its new location.
The Challenge
The field replacement included a plan for the existing infill as well as the turf carpet. Recovering that material for recycling was part of the removal work before the new synthetic surface was installed.
Construction Process
Keystone recovered the infill from Camden Catholic’s existing field for recycling. The old synthetic turf was removed, and a replacement turf system was installed at the school.

FAQs
What is the best time to replace your artificial turf field? Replacement planning should begin when changes in a field’s condition raise concerns about its performance or player safety. Fiber deterioration, shedding, seam problems, and a firmer playing surface are reasons to seek an evaluation. Weather and athletic use affect fields differently, so a calendar-based estimate cannot settle the decision by itself. Keystone can assess the existing surface and explain whether repair or replacement is the appropriate response to the conditions found.
What are the benefits of recovering infill during turf replacement? Recovering infill separates a potentially useful material from the turf being removed. That creates an opportunity for recycling or suitable reuse instead of treating the old field as a single waste stream. The material’s condition and the requirements of its next application determine what can happen after recovery. Where reuse is appropriate, it may reduce demand for new infill. Recovery does not automatically mean the material will be installed back into the same field.
