An Overview of Professional Sports Pitch Construction
A well constructed sports pitch and a quality surface well enhance the standard of the game being played and the players' performance. Non league through to professional clubs and their ground staff aim to provide the best sporting experience within their budgetary constraints.
Professional advice can ensure you get the best pitch within your budget and will help avoid future performance issues, which can include poor surface drainage, sunken areas, excess compaction, and poor root growth.
A sports ground contractor can offer different construction and maintenance options. These should cater to your clubs requirements while delivering you a project to the highest standards and with minimal disruption to the club.
When choosing your sports turf contractor look for accreditations or associations they have from professional bodies which relate to pitch specifications, standards of work and materials used. These may be from the IOG or LDCA as examples.
Sporting bodies also offer advice and specifications for pitch construction for each sport. These can be found on the SAPCA website.
