1. Design

With life cycle costing, we ensure value for money and remove any potential risk to your investment from the moment we are commissioned to your project. 

2. Earthworks

Our highly trained staff and dependable in-house plant and machinery helps to ensure that the topsoil and subsoil removal process is efficient and to exacting tolerances. 

3. Drainage

Fundamental to any sports pitch construction is the installation of an appropriate drainage system to ensure  the pitch remains in a playable condition with whatever nature throws at it. We install over 60,000m2 of drainage per year to ensure our commissioned pitches drain adequately. 

4. SUB-BASE

The sub-base is a critical layer in every sports pitch construction. It is essentially the foundation which is required to transmit a load from the surface down to the sub-soil formation layer. Our engineers continually check flatness and test the sub-soil for bearing capacity and this is repeated on every subsequent layer to ensure a solid foundation and longevity of the pitch system. Furthermore we create specifically tailored designs to suit the ground conditions at every site.

5. Artifical Turf

We only use FIFA, World Rugby and FIH Preferred Producer Turf Systems to ensure our clients receive the very best quality, performance and longevity. Every year we install over 120,000 square metres of sports surfaces to meeting Global Sports Governing Body Specification standards.

6. Ancillaries

Because we offer a complete construction service, from pavillion buildings and changing rooms, to SUDS and ball stop fencing systems, flood lighting systems, retaining walls and car parks, you can be sure your investment is in safe hands and constructed in accordance with BS and EN Building codes.

Synthetic turf

Synthetic turf is suitable for more (all weather) training while greatly reducing ground maintenance costs. Life cycle costing and performance is the core focus of our synthetic products. We are constantly pushing the capabilities of these grounds with innovative surface materials. Our wide range of infill options provide additional safety protection for athletes at every stage in their sporting careers. Research and Development in recent years has helped us improve traction on our surfaces to allow for greater agile mobility at critical moments of acceleration and change in sprint direction, reduceing the damage to fast-twitch muscle fibres and helping atheletes avoid injury while pushing their game further.

Natural turf

Natural turf is the foundation of our business. The game has evolved exponentially ever since we started installing pitches over 50 years ago, the perfect real grass remains the choice of coaches, players and groundskeepers.

Utilising our techniques for improved resilience and site-specific soil profile design, we can deliver the highest calibre of pitch surfaces. We also ensure longevity through our innovative irrigation systems along with our commitment to maintenance through renovation programmes.

Part of this long-term use can include planting hybrid grass systems for high-impact areas such as goal mouths. Natural pitches will always provide a firm cushioning for players, but we refuse to settle when we know that we can push sport further. Our surface solutions can reduce the chance of injury, allowing your athletes to train harder than before. There is no question, that difference is an absolute necessity to achieving success when it counts.
