FOOTBALL PITCH MAINTENANCE

Aeration services – usually we will complete verti draining on pitches once or twice a year using our reliable machine, the Verti-drain and Wiedenmann Terraspike Solid Tine Aerator 1.5m TD. Verti draining your pitch aerates your soil – improving drainage, aiding thatch breakdown, and encouraging healthy roots along with many other benefits. We can also carry out hollow tining to aerate your turf – our experts will choose between hollow tining and verti draining based on what’s best to decompact your soil.

Scarification services – we scarify football pitches to remove weeds, thatch, moss, and any other dead/organic matter. Our state-of-the-art machinery allows for a quick and clean clear-up.

Fertiliser applications – adding nutrients to the grass effectively and efficiently, our team can carry out liquid fertiliser applications to your pitch to help the grass stay healthy.

Regular contract mowing – ensuring the grass is always at a reasonable length is crucial for football, grass that isn’t trimmed could cause injury and the ball won’t travel properly due to being slowed by the overgrown grass, causing the players not to be able to move the ball as well. Our team will make sure the grass is perfect, providing regular mowing and going from corner-to-corner and box-to-box, never missing a single inch.

Sports turf irrigation – the ALS team will work with you and offer advice on how you can utilise irrigation on your football pitch to perfectly water your grass.

Overseeding – our experts complete overseeding as part of our turf renovation services, it thickens the sward after seasonal play. We have a range of overseeding machinery and normally use our Vaderstad 2m Single Pass Seeder for football pitches.

Top dressing – applied after our aeration, scarification and overseeding services, a topdressing mixture is applied to the top of football pitches to improve drainage and disease resistance.

That was just a rundown of what we offer within our pitch maintenance services. If you want your football pitch to be performance-ready and fit for professionals, hire ALS contracts to undertake your grounds maintenance plan, complete the callback form below.
