Natural Turf Pitch Construction Process

We know that each site, client, and project will present a unique set of requirements and objectives. We use our knowledge and experience to create a bespoke plan to maximise the potential of each pitch we build.

Through surveys, soil analysis, and discussions with stakeholders we gain a detailed understanding of the project challenges and develop plans to build a pitch that will deliver the desired outcomes with minimum disruption and maximum lifetime value.

From the highest levels of elite sport to grass routes community playing fields we will build a natural turf sports pitch of which you will be proud for many years to come.

1. Site Assessment

The process begins with a site assessment and requirements gathering session. Through this process, we will explore your ambitions for the new pitch and identify specific objectives, technical requirements, and project parameters.

Our discussion will cover any feasibility issues, planning considerations, regulatory and sporting specifications, and parameters such as timescales and budget. During the site assessment, we will note the position of key site features including fall of the land, buildings, trees and copses, watercourses, utility connections, and access points.

Please contact us to discuss your pitch.

2. Design Solution

The insight gained from the initial site assessment and requirements gathering session will be used to develop a design solution for your new pitch.

The proposal will include drawings and details of works relating to cultivation and levelling, irrigation, primary and secondary drainage, stone sieving and soil profile as required to meet or exceed the project goals and required standard of play.

The proposal will also outline our recommendations for gravel, sand, nutrients and grass seed required to engineer a soil profile which will promote the growing and development of a resilient high-performance playing surface.

The proposal includes estimations of costs and timescales while the overall process provides ongoing opportunities for clients to feedback and make amendments.

3. Formal Quotation

Following final revisions to the design proposal we will submit our final project plan, material specifications, and provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs in our quotation.

4. Pitch Construction

Works are conducted by our own in-house team using our wholly owned specialist plant and machinery. We have the knowledge, expertise, staff and availability of plant to overcome any unforeseen obstacles and ensure that your project remains on schedule.

Prior to works commencing the construction team will carefully plan logistics and work with our Health & Safety Manager to create a bespoke H&S plan for the project.

For the duration of works we provide regular updates through agreed communication channels.

Upon agreed completion we rapidly de-mobilise the site and ensure the safe and efficient removal of all machinery, equipment, and any refuse arising from our works.
