Project Description

Nestled in the mountains of North Georgia, Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School boasts a stunning campus and a fiercely competitive athletic program.

To give their football team a true home-field advantage, they selected Advanced Sports Group to build a world-class playing surface.

In 2025, we installed nearly 100,000 square feet of Shaw Legion 2.0 synthetic turf. This premium system is engineered for the heavy impacts and high-speed action of Friday night lights. Our crew handled the complex site work required in the mountainous terrain, ensuring perfect grading and flawless drainage. The upgraded stadium is now a crown jewel of the campus. The Eagles have a fast, safe, and incredibly durable field that looks immaculate on game day and stands up to the rigors of daily practice, rain or shine.

Key scopes of work included:

  • Full field excavation and grading

  • Advanced drainage and base system installation for optimal water management

  • Custom Shaw Sports Turf synthetic playing surface installation

  • Precision laser-grading for consistent performance across the field

By switching from natural grass to synthetic turf, the Eagles gained:

  • A professional-calibur playing surface that enhances athletic performance.

  • Significant savings on water, fertilizer and mowing

  • A stunning visual upgrade to the school’s athletic complex.
