If you’re buying a turf field, plan for 12 years. Budget for replacement at year 10. Treat it like a rental car: gentle, but expect some dings.
And remember: the lifespan isn’t just about the turf—it’s about the sun, the players, the infill, and your willingness to baby it. One bad storm? One skipped maintenance? Poof—there goes a year.
So, grab your coffee, look at your field, and ask: “Are you a 10-year champ or a 15-year legend?” The answer is in how you treat it. Cheers to that.
