Sierra Pacific Sports
Synthetic Turf Field Contractor in Reno and Lake Tahoe. Licensed in Nevada.
We are a synthetic turf field contractor Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe schools and parks rely on for fields that hold up to high desert sun, dry wind and freeze-thaw winters. We are based in Verdi, just west of Reno.
What high desert weather does to a synthetic field
- Reno sits at about 4,400 feet. UV is stronger at elevation, and it fades and weakens turf fibers faster than at sea level.
- The Truckee Meadows gets only about 9 inches of rain a year. Dry infill blows around and migrates.
- The afternoon Washoe Zephyr drops dust, seeds and debris into the infill all summer.
- Winter nights drop below freezing and the days warm back up. That freeze and thaw works on seams and edges and can lift them.
- Around Lake Tahoe, at more than 6,000 feet, snow sits on fields for months, and fields have a short window to get ready for spring sports.
- Snow removal is hard on a field. A plow blade set too low tears seams, lifts inlays and scrapes infill off the surface.
When to schedule work
- Spring, once the snow is gone: walk the field, magnet sweep plow debris, check seams and edges for winter damage, then power groom and top dress where infill moved.
- Before winter: preventive maintenance training for your staff, so snow gets cleared without damaging the field.
- Summer: regular grooming and magnet sweeps through the busiest stretch of use.
- Fall, before the first hard freeze: close up seams and edges so water cannot get under them over the winter.

Questions from Reno and Lake Tahoe
Are you local to Reno?
Yes. Sierra Pacific Sports is based in Verdi, Nevada, just west of Reno. We hold Nevada contractor licenses #0095704 and #0089250 and also work across California.
Can you fix a field after a hard Tahoe winter?
Yes. We repair seams, edges and inlays, power groom compacted infill and top dress areas where infill washed out. Book it in spring so the field is ready before the season starts.

Yes. We hold California contractor license #1067002 as well as our Nevada licenses.
How often should a Reno field be groomed?
It depends on how hard the field is used. Our T-Kare plans run 4, 8 or 16 cleanings and groomings a year, each with a field inspection and a written report. After a free field assessment we can tell you which one fits.
Have a field, playground or court project?
