Hello, I’m Dr. Truly Green. You know, the principals of FieldSheld are limited, by decorum, from engaging in self- aggrandizement. I, on the other hand, as an animated icon, suffer no such limitations. So, it is with great pride and little humility, I tell you that our principals boast more comprehensive knowledge and experience in artificial turf design and construction than anyone you have encountered – or are likely to encounter – in your search for information about safe and affordable artificial turf. This broad knowledge and experience extends from soil-mechanics; to water-management; to turf design; to test criteria; to manufacturing alternatives. If you’re lost and confused, in a fog of conflicting claims and opinions, we can provide the objective, forthright guidance and direction you need. Please read more About Us. Thank You.
FieldShield was founded with the goal of developing environmentally-friendly, ecologically-safe artificial turf products and systems and to promote the proper application of material science and civil engineering to turf design and construction.
The principals at FieldShield are uniquely suited to achieve this goal, in that our number includes the inventors of 'sandless' all-rubber infilled turf (Patent #5,976,645) and the vertical-to-horizontal-drainage
base construction methodology (Patent #7,128,497) as well as anti-microbial infill (patent pending). Furthermore, they introduced the concept of infill stability (No Fly-Out) through minimization of infill and maximizing of grass weight and blade density.
We believe that a proper evaluation, or any viable comparison, of artificial turf products or concepts must be rooted in recognized material science and commonly accepted engineering principles - not in unsupported marketing claims, fantasy physics, layman endorsements or pretty pictures. Unfortunately, a studied scientific approach is usually overwhelmed by marketing, when it comes to the emotion-fueled decisions affecting an athletic venue.
Our, CEO, Philip Christiansen, is a professional engineer, with 40 years of professional engineering experience and holds an MS in Environmental Engineering. His approach - our approach - has been to identify deficiencies or problems and then develop solutions, by the application of the Scientific Method:
In addition to giving birth to a slew of innovative, eco-safe products embodied in our EcoSistem™ concept, this considered scientific approach has resulted in a timely, cost-effective, solution to current environmental, health and safety concerns surrounding artificial turf “infill” – that is: a safe, environmentally-friendly, heat-reducing,
anti-microbial infill alternative we call, Organite ™.
