Not surprisingly, sports field maintenance requires different methods and approaches to achieve results than the maintenance of landscape grass or lawns. For example, to keep the playing area in top condition field maintenance programs should include frequent mowing. This makes the grass more wear-resistant and reduces clumps that can cause trip and fall injuries. Proper care will also include a schedule to water regularly (being careful not to over-water), aerate, fertilize and renovate promptly when needed to avoid further deterioration. Additionally, field maintenance programs will be adjusted according to the sport being played. This is due not only to the difference in wear and tear from sport to sport but also to the seasonal availability of the field to carry out procedures such as over-seeding.

Maintenance of the turf (real grass turf, not sythetic) on sport and athletic fields should include frequent mowing. This not only keeps the grass short but also helps to reduce lumps and improve the resistance of the grass. Due to the heavy use it gets, grass turf also requires regular aeration to keep the soil and grass healthy.
Maintenance of an athletic field will need to be planned around the availability of the grass area to carry out tasks such as over-seeding without interfering with play. Since seasons and use of sports fields vary according to the game being played any field maintenance will need to be planned around the playing season.
