Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed synthetic turf replacement for two athletic fields at Hampton Roads Soccer Complex in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The Client
Hampton Roads Soccer Complex opened in 1997 and is operated by the nonprofit Hampton Roads Soccer Council. The Virginia Beach facility supports organized soccer and other field sports.
The Challenge
The replacement required removing the existing turf and preparing the stone base across two fields before the new playing surfaces could be installed.
Construction Process
The project was initiated with the removal and disposal of existing turf, along with reclaiming and recycling the existing infill. The existing stone base was then graded. Keystone then installed dual-fiber synthetic turf with soccer and lacrosse markings.

FAQs
What is the best time to replace your artificial turf field? When field conditions begin to compromise player safety or performance, it is time to evaluate replacement. Even high-quality synthetic turf experiences weather-related degradation and athletic wear. Splitting fibers, shedding, seam separation, worn inlays, or a firmer surface can indicate deterioration. Because use, maintenance, and environmental conditions all affect a field’s lifespan, Keystone recommends a comprehensive field evaluation to determine whether repairs or full replacement are the appropriate next step.
What happens before replacement turf is installed? A turf replacement starts with a plan for the new system, field design, and removal of the existing materials. After the old turf is removed, the exposed base is evaluated and prepared for installation. Some fields need localized repairs or grading, while others require more extensive foundation work. Addressing those conditions before the new turf is laid helps avoid covering up problems that could affect the replacement field.
