Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for the softball field at Edison High School in Edison, New Jersey.
The Client
Edison High School is part of Edison Township Public Schools in New Jersey. Its athletes compete in the Greater Middlesex Conference, and the school offers a range of varsity sports alongside award-winning fine arts programs.
The Challenge
Converting the existing grass field into a synthetic turf softball facility required coordinating excavation, drainage, base preparation, and installation of the playing surfaces and dugout facilities. This marks one of multiple projects for the high school, including renovations to their tennis courts, running track, and turf field.
Construction Process
This design-build project consisted of several phases, starting with the demolition and excavation of the existing grass field. Next, a newly constructed stone sub-base was installed and laser graded, along with the installation of a drainage system. Following that, Keystone installed Shaw Sports Turf’s top-tier Legion Pro dual-fiber turf for the green, TruHop slit film turf for the infield, and Momentum Pro slit film turf for the warning track.
Additionally, concrete pads and modular dugouts were installed for the dugout sections, and backstop fencing was installed.

FAQs
What is design-build? Design-build brings design and construction services together under a single contract with one design-builder. This provides the owner with a coordinated team responsible for both planning and construction.
What is considered when designing a synthetic turf field? Planning begins with the intended sports, site conditions, drainage, and turf selection. Supporting features such as fencing and team areas are coordinated with the field design to suit the facility’s needs.
