Why one builder
One crew, from the backyard cage to the complex.
The same things make or break a backyard cage and a tournament field: the grading, the base, the drainage, the seams, and nets that hold. We started with turf in our own yard. Then the neighbors asked, then the ballpark asked, and baseball and softball became most of our work. That is the "& Outdoors" in our name.
Every project gets the same drainage-first base prep and the same crew that walked the site, whether it is one cage or twelve fields.

Drag to compare. Before vs. after.

Family-owned. Aledo-based.
Lindsey and Colin Burns. That's us.
We started Bearcat Turf & Outdoors in 2023 after getting fed up with $500 summer water bills and a yard that still looked beat up in July. We put turf in our own yard first. Then our neighbors asked. Then the ballpark asked. Now we build sports facilities across Texas and beyond.
Every install gets the same base-prep we'd do at our own house. Nothing fancy, nothing cut. That's the whole pitch.

Why Bearcat
We install it the way we'd want it at our own house.
We're customers too
We started Bearcat Turf & Outdoors because we wanted this in our own yard. Every install we do, we ask: would I want this at my house?
We live here
Aledo-based, family-owned. We know Parker County clay, how it drains in April versus August, and which builders cut corners on grading. That shows up in how we build.
HUB Certified
A State of Texas HUB-Certified business. Eligible for public bids. Held to professional insurance and workmanship standards on every job.
Financing available
A few financing programs if you'd rather spread the cost out. Low monthly payments, no hidden fees, and we'll walk you through the options at the quote.
One scope, one bill
Turf, netting, floors, electrical, and equipment on a single fixed-price scope and one schedule, so you are not stitching five trades together yourself.
Built to spec
Fields built to ASTM F1936 and G-Max targets, and cages and nets spec'd for daily commercial use, not a weekend of backyard swings.
Real customers
What neighbors say.
The mud was destroying the yard every time the dogs came in. Six months later the grass looks better than day one, and the kids can play out there the morning after a storm.
I watched their crew compact the crushed stone in two passes. That's not normal in this industry — most installers cut the base prep. A year in, the surface is dead-flat.
We got three quotes. Bearcat was the only one who walked the yard, asked about drainage, and gave us a fixed price. Six months in, I still don't know where the water goes — but it's never sitting on the yard.
For homeowners
Backyard turf and putting greens too.
The same crew builds them across DFW, and families who find us for the ballfield often want the same work at home. Most of our turf customers found us after their third failed sod job, or the summer the water bill hit $500.

No mowing
Your Saturdays back. No mower, no edger, no fertilizer schedule, no bag of Scotts in the garage.
Still green in July
Texas summers don't touch it. Same color in August as in April. Same color in a drought as in a wet spring.
Lower water bills
Most of our customers cut their water bill in half within the first summer. Some pay for the install in 3-5 years.
No mud, no pollen
Nothing to track inside. Nothing blooming that your kid is allergic to. Rain today, usable yard tomorrow.
Safe for kids and dogs
No pesticides, no fertilizer, no weed killer. Just a surface kids and dogs can play on without you worrying about what they're rolling in.
Drains faster than grass
Engineered to move water through the system at 30-150 inches per hour. No puddles, no soft spots after a storm.
Let's walk your site.
Free on-site consults across DFW, and virtual consults everywhere else. Field, cage, or facility: we'll look at the grade, the drainage, the building, and give you an honest fixed price. No pressure, no surprises. We respond within one business day.
Sports Facility FAQ
Questions we hear before every project.
Straight answers on cost, where we build, public bids, and warranty.
How much does it cost to build a baseball field?
Real baseball field costs run in tiers: $40K to $90K for a rec-league field, $150K to $400K for travel-ball, and $500K to $1.2M+ for tournament-grade with full artificial turf. The tier depends on field type, base work, drainage, and surface. Our cost guide breaks each tier down, and we give a fixed price after a site visit.
How much does an indoor baseball or softball facility cost?
For a build with turf, full-shell netting, dividers, epoxy floor, fencing, and electrical, plan on roughly $23K to $35K per tunnel before pitching machines, lighting, permits, and the building itself. Our Starter (3 to 4 tunnels), Training Center (5 to 8), and Academy (9 to 12+) packages give planning ranges. A fixed price comes after a site visit or video walkthrough.
How much does a batting cage cost?
Backyard cage packages start at $5,999, quoted within 24 hours. Commercial and training-facility cages are priced by tunnel, and the batting cage configurator gives a range for your size and use before you talk to anyone.
Where do you build?
We are based in Aledo, Texas, and build baseball fields, sports fields, cages, and indoor facilities across Texas. Oklahoma gets cages, fields, and indoor facilities. Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Georgia get fields and indoor facilities, and New Mexico gets fields. The farther the drive, the larger the project needs to be, and each state page says where that line is. Outside DFW we start with a virtual consult.
Do you work on public bids and school projects?
Yes. Bearcat is HUB Certified by the State of Texas. We respond to sealed bids, RFPs, and written quote requests, and our Spec Desk takes a bid package directly. If your district requires a cooperative purchasing contract, ask us first. A cooperative only works through an awarded vendor, and we will tell you plainly whether we hold an award.
What warranty comes with a Bearcat installation?
Every turf install ships with a 15-year manufacturer product warranty on the turf: UV-stabilized, non-flammable, anti-acid yarn across the TurfHub catalog we carry. Bearcat covers a 1-year installation workmanship warranty on the build. Warranty paperwork is supplied at quote.
Do you still install backyard turf and putting greens?
Yes, across the DFW metroplex. Residential artificial turf installation runs $4.50 to $10 per square foot turnkey, depending on project type, base prep, and turf product. Pet turf with antimicrobial infill runs $5 to $11 per square foot, and putting greens run $5,000 to $32,000+ installed.
