    Sports Turf Maintenance from a Reputable Company

So whether you’re looking for school grounds maintenance or you own a sports club, we’ve got the solution for you.

    Sports pitch maintenance is important for two reasons: safety and aesthetics. First, it is important to maintain the turf in a safe manner so that athletes do not get injured. Second, maintaining the turf in an aesthetically pleasing way enhances the look of the playing field and creates a sense of pride for the team.

    Sports Grounds Maintenance – What’s Included

    What’s included in our turf maintenance contract depends on what type of sports surface you have and what it needs all year round. We can provide a range of services as a part of our sports grounds maintenance, here are just a few key ones:

    Contract mowing

    Natural grass turf is typically mowed regularly to prevent it from growing higher than the best length for your specific sport. Mowing helps keep the grass looking healthy and prevents weed growth. It also allows for better drainage of excess water, aeration, and fertiliser to reach the roots. Grass that is allowed to grow higher and thicker can become more susceptible to disease, insects, and weeds. Mowing also encourages new growth, which helps the grass develop a deep root system.

    Fertilising

    The liquid fertiliser we apply contains all the right chemicals that grass needs to stay healthy. We usually mix fertiliser in with our contract spraying services and we can apply weed killer at the same time, ensuring the efficiency of our services.

    Watering

    Watering is essential for the health of your natural grass.

    Aeration

    We can complete verti draining or hollow tining which aerates your sports turf, allowing oxygen to get into the soil and promoting healthy root growth.

    Scarification

    Usually completed after aeration, turf scarifying helps to remove thatch, moss, and dead/organic matter.

    Topdressing

    Completed after aeration, scarification and overseeding, topdressing is a vital part of sports turf maintenance. It helps to level the playing surface, improve drainage, and reduce compaction. Topdressing also provides a way to add organic matter to the soil, which can improve its fertility and structure.

    Importance of Well-maintained Turf

    The condition of your field, pitch, or course is the direct result of the maintenance that you provide. Many people believe that poorly maintained turf will affect their performance, which could affect your revenue e.g., if members of a golf course are finding your turf is making it hard for them to strike the ball, they could opt to find somewhere else.

    While the best turf conditions will not turn a mediocre team into a good one, it can certainly help – it’s difficult to play on an uneven and hard surface. Make sure the season gets off to a great start with turf that performs well.
