Discover how this 400-bed facility eliminated maintenance headaches and improved worker retention with commercial-grade turf
Eagle Ford Lodge houses 400 oil field workers in a 24/7 operation where first impressions and living conditions directly impact workforce stability.
Heavy truck traffic from F-350s and equipment haulers created perpetual mud during rain and dust clouds during dry periods. Workers tracked mud into living quarters, creating cleaning nightmares and safety hazards.
With three shifts operating continuously, finding time for landscaping was impossible. Mowing at any hour disturbed sleeping workers, leading to complaints and decreased productivity.
Poor living conditions contributed to a 68% annual turnover rate. Workers chose competitors with better amenities, costing thousands in recruitment and training expenses.
Slip-and-fall incidents from mud averaged 3 per month, creating workers' compensation claims and OSHA concerns. The facility risked significant penalties and increased insurance costs.
"We had guys refusing room assignments near high-traffic areas because of the mud. When your workers are already doing 12-hour shifts in 100-degree heat, the last thing they need is a muddy mess at home."
- Frank Morrison, Facility Manager
We developed a comprehensive turf installation plan that addressed the unique demands of 24/7 workforce housing operations.
We specified military-grade artificial turf with reinforced backing designed for vehicle traffic. The selected product features enhanced UV stability and compression recovery, ensuring it maintains appearance despite constant heavy use.
We installed a comprehensive sub-base drainage system capable of handling 50+ inches per hour. This eliminated standing water and mud formation even during West Texas flash floods, ensuring safe, dry surfaces year-round.
Working with facility management, we divided the property into 8 sections. Each section was completed in 24-48 hours during shift changes, ensuring zero disruption to operations or worker rest periods.
We incorporated designated walkways with contrasting colors, anti-slip surfaces in high-traffic areas, and proper lighting integration. These features significantly reduced nighttime navigation hazards.
The transformation exceeded expectations, delivering immediate operational improvements and long-term financial benefits.
The improved living conditions had profound effects on workforce stability:
Three years post-installation, the turf shows minimal wear despite:
"The turf transformed our facility from a muddy work camp to professional workforce housing. We're not just saving money – we're keeping better workers. That's invaluable in this industry."

Frank MorrisonFacility Manager, Eagle Ford Lodge"I've managed oil field housing for 15 years, and mud has always been our biggest enemy. Workers hate it, it's dangerous, and it makes the whole facility look unprofessional.
When Permian Turf Solutions showed me their commercial-grade product, I was skeptical it could handle our abuse. But after seeing other installations, we decided to try it. Best decision we've ever made.
No more 3 AM complaints about mowing. No more workers slipping in mud. No more choosing between dust control and water bills. The turf just works, every day, no matter what we throw at it.
The ROI was faster than projected, but the real value is in worker satisfaction. When you house 400 guys working brutal shifts, every comfort matters. This investment shows we care about their living conditions, and they've responded by staying longer and referring better workers."
Like Eagle Ford Lodge, your workforce housing can achieve zero landscaping maintenance while improving worker satisfaction. Let us show you how commercial-grade artificial turf solves your toughest challenges.
