When a premier sports training facility in El Segundo, Los Angeles approached Toppers Turf with plans to replace their aging natural grass training surfaces, the brief was clear — deliver a professional-grade synthetic turf solution capable of handling elite athlete training seven days a week, 365 days a year, without ever requiring downtime for maintenance, irrigation, or seasonal recovery.
Our commercial team conducted a full site assessment across the facility’s three outdoor training zones, carefully evaluating drainage requirements, load-bearing capacity, and the specific performance characteristics demanded by the facility’s professional and collegiate athlete clientele. After extensive product evaluation, we specified our Green Reverie heavy-traffic turf — the most durable product in our collection at 111 ounces per square yard — paired with a professional rubber and sand infill system engineered specifically for athletic performance, player safety, and maximum shock absorption.
The installation was completed across all three zones within eight business days with zero disruption to the facility’s training schedule. The facility director described the transformation as game-changing — athletes immediately noticed the improved surface consistency, superior traction, and authentic feel underfoot. Today the facility operates year-round at full capacity, hosting professional athletes, collegiate teams, and high school programs across Los Angeles with a surface that looks and performs like the first day it was installed.
