Arlington is the largest mid-corridor city in the DFW metroplex—positioned between Dallas and Fort Worth on I-30, with AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field anchoring an entertainment district that draws millions of visitors annually. The University of Texas at Arlington campus, the Six Flags entertainment corridor, the Texas Live hospitality district, and the vast residential neighborhoods that spread in every direction from the city center create a diversity of artificial turf applications that spans from large commercial hospitality installations to compact urban residential lots.
Arlington's residential market is broad and varied. The older established neighborhoods near downtown and the UTA campus have mature tree canopy, older housing stock, and the compacted clay soils that characterize the inner-ring DFW suburbs. The newer developments in south Arlington near Mansfield and the western growth edges near Grand Prairie have more recent construction but the same Tarrant County clay soil drainage challenges. Mid-point neighborhoods from the 1980s and 1990s that define much of Arlington's residential character have reached the maintenance-intensive phase of their landscaping life cycle.
Commercial Arlington beyond the entertainment district spans a diverse range of property types. The parks near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field have obvious high-traffic synthetic turf demand; the office parks along Division Street, Collins Street, and the I-20 corridor have commercial landscaping needs oriented more toward consistent curb appeal and reduced maintenance costs. Medical facilities near Arlington Medical Center, retail corridors on Cooper Street and Green Oaks, and apartment complexes throughout the city all represent commercial turf applications we serve.
The entertainment district specifically creates demand for commercial turf that holds up to the extraordinary foot traffic of event days at AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, while also maintaining appearance during the non-event periods that make up most of the year. This is a different engineering conversation than a standard commercial campus installation.
