Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed synthetic turf replacement for the multisport field at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The Client
Marywood was founded in 1915 and became Pennsylvania’s first Catholic college for women. Its early college facilities grew from the motherhouse of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The Challenge
The turf replacement required removal of the existing surface, recovery of the existing infill, and preparation of the stone base for the new turf system.
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 laser graded.
Keystone then installed Shaw Sports Turf’s synthetic turf system with Game ON technology for the field.

FAQs
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.
What is Game ON turf technology? Game ON is a turf system from Shaw Sports Turf that uses tufted-in technology to incorporate logos, lines, and other design elements directly into the turf. This removes the need to cut and seam those elements into the field as separate inlays. Fewer inlay seams mean fewer potential separation points, supporting field quality and player safety while streamlining installation. The technology also allows custom graphics, end zone branding, and mow patterns.
