Our History

Formed by the Iowa Cubs ownership group in 2006, Iowa Cubs Sports Turf Management began by providing contracted maintenance services to municipal athletic facilities in Des Moines. The company’s maintenance services quickly grew to include facilities around central Iowa, utilizing the same equipment used to maintain the professional playing surface at Principal Park.

In 2009, after continued growth in field maintenance, Iowa Cubs Sports Turf Management started to offer athletic field construction and renovation services. Once again, those services, clients, and projects expanded each year.

As of 2019, the company dropped “Cubs” from its corporate name, transitioning to Iowa Sports Turf, while retaining the same excellent staff who founded it and worked hard to make it grow. Iowa Sports Turf is still part of the Iowa Cubs organization.

In 2020, Iowa Sports Turf joined Musco—the global leader in sports lighting for nearly 50 years—and its family of businesses as part of a joint endeavor to increase first-hand knowledge of the needs of contractors when it comes to sports facility construction and maintenance.

In 2023, Iowa Sports Turf became the exclusive U.S. distributor of GrassMax systems, a stitched hybrid reinforcement for natural grass fields. GrassMax is ideal for clients that prefer natural grass playing surfaces, providing an eco-friendly way to improve player safety, field durability and longevity, while also allowing for play in all weather.
