United Turf and Track

What United Turf and Track does

United Turf and Track is a privately held, founder-led sports field construction company headquartered in Arcadia, Oklahoma, that designs, builds, and maintains athletic facilities for institutional buyers across the South Central United States. The company serves K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, municipal and tribal governments, and professional sports organizations, with documented projects in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. Its customer portfolio includes marquee venues such as USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium (site of the NCAA Women's College World Series), the University of Arkansas Razorback Stadium, and the Oklahoma City Dodgers' Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

The company's core offering is turnkey sports facility construction and maintenance, spanning synthetic turf installation as an official AstroTurf distributor, natural grass field construction using premium bermudagrass cultivars (Tahoma 31, Latitude 36), running track and court construction using Beynon and Rekortan systems, stadium lighting installation (Ephesus LED), and ongoing maintenance services. Technical differentiators include laser grading for precision surface work, BrockPad and BrockFILL shock-absorption safety systems, multi-layer aggregate dynamic base construction for synthetic fields, and DuraEdge Pro infield products for baseball facilities. The company holds ASBA Certified Field Builder status (one of only 88 companies nationwide in this category), with two certified field builders on staff.

Revenue is generated through two streams: one-time, project-based construction contracts and recurring maintenance service agreements. Sales are executed via direct enterprise engagement with institutional decision-makers and competitive bidding through public procurement processes, particularly for K-12 districts, municipal clients, and higher-education buyers. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the custom-scope nature of construction work. The company operates without external venture or private equity capital, with leadership comprising Founder/President Dillon Ripley, CEO Tony Dunn, COO Jerrod Simmons, and CFO Michael Grady alongside specialized directors across preconstruction, turf installation, natural grass construction, and field services.
