“I did a tremendous amount of research and visited many artificial turf fields in and around Long Island and New Jersey. The LandTek fields are the best around. There was no doubt in my mind. The best money could buy. There service is outstanding. Whenever we needed support services they were available with support and information. LandTek personnel are the best in the business…for service and install….”

“The field is beautiful. LandTek is a very impressive, professional, competent, and responsive construction company. Your workers’ were all hard working and very accommodating to our needs on-site. At times LandTek simply amazed me! I have been working in the construction field for nearly 50 years and have worked with hundreds of contractors and can honestly say that LandTek is one of the best contractors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. From top management to the workers’ everyone was great.”

MOORE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

Our Virgin Mary and St Pachomius Church in Stony Point, NY was looking for a great U10 turf soccer field to allow our kids to play on. LandTek was able to bring amazing quality and professionalism at a spectacular price point when compared to competitors. They consistently worked with us to meet our needs and timeline.

Malverne Schools

Springs School is a small UPK-8th grade building who never thought a company such as LandTek would be interested in our project. But to our surprise they were. They provided our school with 2 new soccer fields with a baseball field overlay. They worked with a high water table to get the drainage just right. The new bus yard came out great, as well as our new carline. When our neighbors complained about lack of privacy, they worked with the district to make it right. Safety was always at the forefront, as this project took place during a global pandemic. We opened school on time and underbudget. I have no reservations recommending LandTek. They were professional and patient and always a pleasure to work with.

Debra Winter: Superintendent
Spring Schools

As a new football first athletic center, we were looking to have high quality artificial turf installed in our facility, a surface that athletes are able to wear cleats on. We could not be happier with our field turf surface!!! From meeting Marty Lyons and Jason Randall at the initial consultation, to working with them on the finishing install, we could not have asked for a more professional outfit. Every appointment was kept and started on time, and it was fantastic having Jason represent LandTek at our grand opening!!

Thank you again LandTek, and we look forward to working with the crew again in a month or so when we expand our facility!

Our project was difficult with regards to logistics as well as scope. LandTek was a pleasure to work with and we are thrilled with the outcome. I highly recommend the LandTek team!

The synthetic tennis courts installed by LandTek are very durable. The surface provides us with the ability to use the area for a multitude of sports across many sport seasons. From t-ball to tennis to flag football, our school and community have enjoyed the recently installed courts. The visible look of the courts adds to the aesthetic view of our facility as well. We look forward to many years using our synthetic turf courts!

“I can’t speak more highly of LandTek’s performance over the years on projects that have been completed on time and within budget for United Sports. It’s unique in this day and age that you meet such a professional team that brings such added value to any project. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

TED VAN BEUREN
UNITED SPORTS

“LandTek was phenomenal throughout the entire process. From the RFP through project completion, they worked with us to understand and execute on our vision. Ultimately, they delivered a facility that exceeded our lofty expectations. This is not the first time our University has worked with LandTek, nor do I expect it to be the last.”

COACH SCOTT KUSHNER
CENTENARY UNIVERSITY

“Montclair State University has work with The LandTek Group on a wide range of projects, from installing a new field to renovation of a natural grass baseball infield. I cannot say enough about the workmanship and attention to detail the staff puts into every job they do, from a minor turf repair to a complete field install. They stand behind their work 100 percent. They will work with you to get the best outcome for your facility.”

DAN SHEMESH: DIRECTOR OF GROUNDS
NEW YORK RED BULLS

“I was first introduced to LandTek in late 2009 as they finished construction on the pitch at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. I was just hired and under enormous pressure to succeed with opening day a few months away without any equipment or staff. LandTek treated me very well from day one. The relationship remained strong over the years, which led to the completion of the Red Bull Training Facility in Hanover, NJ. The 10 acres of natural grass playing surfaces used by the Red Bull soccer teams year round have won multiple awards and it all starts with a solid foundation that LandTek built.”

Delaware

“LandTek proved to be an invaluable partner as we significantly upgraded and expanded our track and field facility. Their expertise and attention to detail delivered the project on schedule and under budget, resulting in a first class site that our student-athletes can proudly train and compete on for years to come.”

ANGELO FONTANAZZA: DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES
THE TATNALL SCHOOL

Pennsylvania

“LandTek listened to what we wanted during the planning process and adjusted the preliminary plans to make them work within our approved budget, LandTek then built our field on budget and within the projected timeline once construction restrictions were lifted due to the worldwide pandemic. We will definitely use LandTek for future projects on our campus.”

JAMES M. ADAMS: MANAGING DIRECTOR
THE ACADEMY OF THE NEW CHURCH SECONDARY SCHOOLS

“Penn State hired The LandTek Group through a best value selection process to provide site construction services for the development of an NCAA Division III soccer field, and to enlarge a campus-wide stormwater detention basin at Penn State’s Harrisburg Campus. We found LandTek’s team to be extremely professional throughout the entire project and they melded seamlessly with our campus facility staff. LandTek’s superintendent and foreman worked tirelessly to provide excellent quality control in the field and kept our entire time up to date with progress. In addition, they brought forth realistic solutions when challenges arose on site. Myself, along with our entire Penn State team, very much look forward to working with LandTek on future projects. They did an excellent job.”

“Working with LandTek was second to none. From day one they were very professional, prompt and detailed in explaining the different phases. I am pleased by the professionalism from start to finish.”

COACH JOE TAYLOR: DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY

“Working with LandTek has been a great experience. From the installation of the 9-acre artificial recreational sports fields, to the field G-Max testing and all follow-up customer service experience with their company has been second to none. LandTek’s knowledge, expertise and quality of the synthetic turf industry has ensured a first-class facility for Virginia Tech recreational sports.”

COTY SKAGGS: SPORTS TURF AND OUTDOOR FACILITY MANAGER
VIRGINIA TECH

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that Montgomery County Public Schools is extremely satisfied with the athletic field improvement projects that LandTek has completed at our facilities over the past several years. Our school system had little to no experience with what it takes to construct professional grade athletic facilities in this day and age. We had reservations starting design on several new projects after having difficult experiences with general contractors constructing athletic facilities as part of new school construction projects in the past. It was clear after discussing cost proposals with your team that your company knows the industry and has the knowledge and resources to construct a game field.

“Last summer, Sports Turf One was contracted to correct drainage problems on the practice football fields at Florida Atlantic University, as well as the maintenance of the football fields during the football season. I am pleased to note that the drainage problem was essentially corrected through the aggressive maintenance plan that was implemented by Sports Turf One. Our playing surface was far superior than compared to the previous year.”
