Mebane Community Park
Project Overview
Great fields are built to last, but great relationships can last even longer.
For the City of Mebane, North Carolina, keeping its athletic facilities in top playing condition has always been a priority. At Mebane Community Park, years of heavy use had taken a toll on one of the park’s synthetic turf fields, creating a need for more than routine maintenance.
Fortunately, Motz was already a familiar face.
What began as a conversation about field conditions grew into years of collaboration, with Motz providing maintenance, repairs, and improvements to help extend the life of the existing surface. When the time came for a full field replacement, the City of Mebane turned to a team it already knew and trusted.
The result? A refreshed playing surface, a project completed on time and under budget, and another chapter in a relationship built on doing the job right.
The Situation
Eight years of play can leave a mark on even the most carefully maintained synthetic turf field.
Motz’s involvement began with an on-site evaluation of the existing turf conditions. Working alongside Shaw Sports Turf, the team reviewed third-party testing results and presented options for replenishing the field’s infill to help improve its performance. That initial visit marked the beginning of a working relationship that would continue well beyond a single project.
Over the following years, Motz returned to Mebane Community Park for infill additions, netting installation, turf repairs, and deep cleaning through Motz Service. Each visit helped the city continue getting value from its existing field while building confidence in the team responsible for maintaining it.
Eventually, however, the wear and changing playing conditions made it clear that Field 1 was ready for a new beginning.
The Play
When the City of Mebane began planning for a field replacement, Motz was already well acquainted with the facility, its history, and the city’s expectations.
Building on that experience, Motz presented replacement options that would give the park a durable, dependable surface designed for continued use. The city ultimately selected a new two-inch dual-fiber synthetic turf system with a sand and rubber infill blend, installed over the existing shock attenuation pad.
Communication remained a priority from the beginning. Biweekly meetings started before the contract was signed and continued throughout construction, giving the city regular opportunities to review progress, discuss decisions, and stay informed.
Throughout the project, Motz maintained that same commitment to transparency and responsiveness, addressing challenges promptly and keeping the city informed every step of the way. That proactive approach helped keep the project moving forward while reinforcing the trust established through years of working together.
The result was a field replacement completed on schedule and under budget, with the attention to detail and dependable service the city had come to expect from Motz.
