The US Military is “Going Green” and we don’t mean green fatigues either. In a joint operation currently under construction in Ft. Huachuca Military base in Ft. Huachuca City, AZ the US Army and Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens is installing 1 million square feet of artificial turf on the base for various applications. These applications will include 19 Football/Soccer, artificial grass fields as well as synthetic grass baseball fields, and several child care facilities on the base. The project is ongoing and was kicked off last October with the installation of the first of two 110,000 square feet football fields. Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens in conjunction with Marsh Development is currently building five baseball fields utilizing artificial grass. The overall project will save the base millions of gallons of water as well as several hundred thousands of tax payer dollars on maintenance and water cost over the life of the turf. The fields will also allow for 24 hour access thus providing the Army with a safe training area for troops that may be conducting night time exercises. The current youth baseball league on the base was commuting into town to utilize the baseball facilities as the base’s fields were in disarray. Now the base will be able to host a multitude of events on their new fields without the worry of hazards and unsightly appearance. The next phase of the project will commence shortly after the fields are completed. Arizona Luxury Lawns will build two 50,000 square foot training areas for the troops to train on without the possibility of injury from hard and uneven surfaces currently in use. “These guys deserve the best we can give them. They put their lives on the line for us, and they at least deserve safe and clean training facilities,” says Chris Harlien, Owner, of Arizona Luxury Lawns and Putting Greens based out of Scottsdale AZ. “We are stanch supporters of our Military and their families,” mentions Chris. “We recently completed a hand to hand combat area for the US Marines on Luke AFB in Surprise, AZ a few months back and they love it! We are excited to participate in these projects as we continue to support our troops 100%.”
