GeoSurfaces Northeast completes first installation

GeoSurfaces Northeast, a new subsidiary of GeoSurfaces, completed its first installation in its third full month of operation: a 75,000-square-foot installation of GreenFields turf for Boston Parks & Recreation at Noyes Playground in East Boston.

GeoSurfaces, which is based in Baton Rouge, La., has installed more than 400 fields and nearly 30 million square feet of artificial turf over the last 15 years. It specializes in design, development, construction and installation of sports surfacing.

Now GeoSurfaces has its own team of surfacing experts in New England to service the Northeast. The new division will carry both GreenFields and GeoSurfaces turf, pad and base system products.

“Opening a northeastern division gives us the ability to provide the kind of hands-on, day-to-day support we know our customers need,” said Charles Dawson, founder and CEO of GeoSurfaces. “With this new division, we’ll be able to easily and efficiently service customers throughout the Northeast.”

Before its new division opened in January, GeoSurfaces already managed numerous installations of GreenFields’ turf in the region. Last year, the New England Patriots selected GeoSurfaces to install the GreenFields’ Ironturf product for its practice facility, Empower Field House.

The new field at Noyes Playground is lined for soccer and softball and made of Allsport XP fibers, GreenFields’ tufted XP/slit film turf product. Allsport XP fibers are durable and offer superior playing comfort with a natural appearance and soft surface for players.

“Allsport’s durability makes it the perfect choice for Noyes Playground,” said John Huard, Jr. vice president of operations for GeoSurfaces Northeast. “We know Bostonians will be able to enjoy this top quality field for years to come.”
