SprintCare maintenance
SprintCare is the maintenance program built around your warranty, not around a vendor service tier list. Annual Gmax test, quarterly groom and decompaction, an 8-year refresh that brings infill and seams back to spec. Fields on a structured SprintCare plan run two to four years longer than fields without one. The factory that built your field maintains it.
By the numbers
Three tiers
Most programs ride Maintain through the warranty period and step up to Restore around year eight. The Inspect tier is the floor. Skipping it puts the warranty at risk and shaves years off the field.
An annual Gmax test and visual walkthrough. Documents what your warranty needs and surfaces small issues before they grow into capital problems.
1 visit per yearEverything in Inspect, plus quarterly grooming, decompaction, infill redistribution, and minor seam repair. The default for warrantied programs.
4 visits per yearA scheduled refresh around year eight. Infill top-up, seam repair, deep clean, and a warranty re-baseline that keeps the field on the original 8-year clock.
Year-8 serviceThe 8-year limited warranty on every Sprinturf system depends on the field being maintained to manufacturer recommendations. Programs that run a structured SprintCare plan have documentation in writing that the warranty was honored. Programs that run ad hoc maintenance often have neither documentation nor recourse when something goes wrong.
SprintCare FAQ
If your question is not here, ask the regional rep on your call.
Ask a Sprinturf repMost fields benefit from a Gmax test annually, professional grooming and decompaction quarterly, and a deep refresh around year 8. Daily monitoring (debris removal, infill redistribution near high-traffic zones, line painting touch-ups) typically falls to the on-site facilities team. SprintCare bundles the professional services and provides a checklist for the daily work so there's no ambiguity about what the building staff owns versus what the manufacturer owns.
Annual SprintCare runs a small fraction of replacement cost. The math is straightforward: a $700K to $1.2M replacement avoided or pushed two to four years by professional maintenance pays for itself many times over. Co-op pricing applies to SprintCare contracts on the same Sourcewell, OMNIA, BuyBoard, and TIPS-USA contracts as the original field.
Inspect-tier visits cover the annual Gmax test per ASTM F355, a visual walkthrough, photo documentation, and a one-page report. Maintain-tier visits add motorized grooming, decompaction passes across high-traffic zones, infill redistribution, minor seam repair, and a written log left with your facilities team. Restore-tier visits add an infill top-up to original spec depth, full-field seam repair, a deep clean, and a warranty re-baseline document.
All 50 states. Sprinturf has install crews and SprintCare technicians within driving distance of every metropolitan ZIP. For more remote locations, we plan visits around regional travel windows so cost stays predictable rather than spiking for one-off site visits. Call 877-686-8873 with a ZIP code and a regional rep will confirm coverage and visit pricing on the same call.
Yes. Most maintenance work scopes to off-days or non-game windows. Quarterly grooming typically runs over a weekday between events. A Gmax test takes a couple of hours and can run before a Friday-night practice. The annual deep clean is the only visit that benefits from a multi-day window, and we schedule it into your offseason calendar at contract signing.
Start with the Gmax test
A regional Sprinturf rep visits your field, drops a Gmax tester at standardized grid points, and returns a one-page condition report the same day. From that visit, you'll have a clear picture of where your field sits versus the warranty target, and a path to a SprintCare tier that fits your schedule and your bond cycle.
