Remove the things that should not be on a playing surface.
Routine debris removal helps keep leaves, trash and foreign material from working into the system. Magnet sweeping can be included where ferrous objects are a concern.
Signs this service may be needed
Leaves, litter or foreign objects after events, storms, construction, bleacher work or frequent public use.
What STMG evaluates
Debris removal is relevant after events, construction, storms or heavy use introduce leaves, trash or foreign objects. Magnet sweeping adds a focused pass where ferrous material is a concern.
Typical process
The service typically defines field areas, access windows and whether visual inspection accompanies housekeeping. Sweeping can be scheduled before or after events and combined with condition notes.
Foreign-object control is a simple service that benefits from consistency.
For high-use complexes, define the field areas, frequency, pre-event or post-event timing and whether magnetic sweeping is included. The work can be paired with visual inspection so facilities teams receive notice of exposed hardware, damaged seams or other conditions discovered while the field is being cleared.
Relationship to other field care
This is especially useful after events, construction, bleacher work or other activities that can introduce debris to the field.
The service can be scoped independently or connected to inspection, corrective work and a recurring program when the field evidence supports that approach.
Documentation
The service record can identify areas covered, notable foreign objects, exposed hardware or defects observed while the surface was being cleared.
Who uses this service
Operations teams, parks departments, schools and tournament facilities often use this service to keep field housekeeping consistent between larger maintenance visits.
Frequently asked questions
What indicates a need for debris & magnet sweeping?
Leaves, litter or foreign objects after events, storms, construction, bleacher work or frequent public use.
Can this work be combined with an inspection?
Yes. An inspection can establish the field condition and define whether debris & magnet sweeping should stand alone or be paired with other maintenance.
Will STMG review manufacturer guidance?
Available field-system, warranty and manufacturer maintenance information should be reviewed before selecting methods or compatible materials.
What documentation may be provided?
The service record can identify areas covered, notable foreign objects, exposed hardware or defects observed while the surface was being cleared.
