ended, with less than 10% turf cover

an actively growing turf during periods of
average daily high temperatures in the

"Winter turf blankets are an excellent investment, especially when considering that sodding two 60’x60’ soccer goal mouths each spring, over an eight year period would cost us over $16,000.00. To purchase two 60’x60’ winter turf covers, seed and preventative fungicide over an eight year period (the life expectancy of CoverSports® Winter Turf Blankets) will cost us an estimated $2,500.00."
