Sports Fields & Recreational Areas
Built to drain. Designed for every season.
Enviro-Rock is a foam glass aggregate used beneath sports fields, playgrounds, and recreational surfaces where drainage, frost performance, and long-term ground stability are important. Its open structure provides approximately 42% void space, creating a free-draining granular layer beneath the finished recreation surface.
Key Uses
- Natural grass sports fields
- Synthetic turf fields
- Sports field sub-base and drainage layers
- Playgrounds and public parks
- Multi-use recreational areas
- Grade raises over weak or compressible soils
- Frost-sensitive recreational sites
- Projects incorporating recycled-content construction materials
Overview
Sports fields and recreational surfaces depend on consistent drainage and stable support across large areas. Water buildup, frost-sensitive soils, and seasonal ground movement can contribute to soft conditions and uneven playing or recreational surfaces.
Enviro-Rock provides a free-draining, frost-resistant granular fill layer that can be incorporated beneath natural turf, synthetic turf, playgrounds, and other recreation assemblies. Its lightweight nature can also reduce additional stress where weak or compressible soils are present, while its recycled-glass composition supports sustainable material objectives.

Key Performance Considerations
Drainage & Permeability
The open aggregate structure provides a free-draining layer beneath playing and recreational surfaces, helping water move through the assembly instead of accumulating within the fill.
Frost Resistance
Resistance to freeze-thaw exposure supports recreational assemblies subject to seasonal freezing and helps address conditions associated with frost-sensitive underlying soils.
Environmental Sustainability
Manufactured from recycled glass, Enviro-Rock turns a waste material into a functional civil construction product and supports recycled-content and circular construction objectives.
