From Bare Ground
to Game Day.
We pour concrete, raise steel, and lay drainage so communities have somewhere to play by next season.
Eastside Community Athletic Field
A barren 3.2-acre parcel behind an elementary school, plagued by caliche hardpan and no drainage infrastructure, transformed into a FIFA-standard natural-grass pitch serving 1,200 youth athletes per season.

USTA courts · 18-mo build
North Boulder Tennis & Racquet Center
Boulder Parks & Recreation needed six USTA-regulation hard courts, a covered spectator pavilion, and a night-play lighting system — all within a constrained 1.8-acre footprint adjoining a wetland buffer requiring Army Corps coordination.
Project Specifications
Lone Star Athletic Academy — Phase I
A private high-performance academy needed four FIFA-quality natural pitches, a 400m all-weather track, a 500-seat steel grandstand, and full floodlighting — all permitted, graded, and surfaced in 14 months so tryouts could open on schedule.

Dirt to game day · 22 acres
Four phases.
One point of contact.
From the first soil sample to the final stripe on the pitch, a single Groundbreak project lead manages every phase, every subcontractor, every inspection.
Site Assessment
We visit your acreage, test soil composition and drainage gradients, review zoning restrictions, and deliver a written feasibility report within 5 business days.
Design & Permitting
Our in-house engineers produce stamped construction drawings and navigate the full permit chain — federal, state, and municipal — so you don't manage multiple agencies.
Grading & Infrastructure
Heavy equipment sculpts your site to specification. Storm-water systems, electrical conduit, and subsurface drainage go in before any surface material.
Surface & Finishing
Natural or synthetic turf, track surfacing, court hardscaping, bleachers, lighting, and fencing installed to governing-body regulation.
Built on the premise that every community deserves a regulation pitch.
Founded in 2008 by a former municipal parks engineer, Groundbreak has delivered 38 sports facilities across 12 states — from a single-field community park in rural Nebraska to a 22-acre collegiate complex in Austin, Texas.
We hold every certification your grant application or bond measure will require — and we've sat on the other side of that table enough times to know how to write the specifications that get projects funded.

Four quick fields — no commitment. We'll review your site parameters and reach out with a realistic scope.
