Natural Rugby Pitches
Building a natural rugby pitch requires a deep understanding of soil composition, grass types, and environmental factors. Our process begins with a thorough site analysis to evaluate drainage, soil health, and topography. We then follow a step-by-step approach:
-
Site Preparation: We clear the area, removing any debris or existing vegetation to ensure a clean slate for construction.
-
Soil Enhancement: Our experts assess and amend the soil composition using organic materials and fertilisers to promote healthy grass growth.
-
Drainage Systems: We install advanced drainage systems to manage water runoff and prevent waterlogging, ensuring the pitch remains playable in all weather conditions.
-
Grass Selection and Installation: We select the most suitable grass species for your region and specific usage. Our team meticulously lays the sod, ensuring proper density and coverage.
-
Maintenance Plans: After installation, we provide customised maintenance plans to keep the pitch in optimal condition, including aeration, topping, and pest management.
​
Artificial Rugby Pitches
Artificial rugby pitches offer durability and low maintenance while providing similar playing characteristics to natural grass. Our comprehensive approach includes:
-
Site Assessment and Preparation: We conduct a detailed analysis of the site, removing existing turf and grading the surface for evenness.
-
Base Construction: Our team constructs a solid base using crushed stone and other materials, ensuring proper drainage and stability for long-term performance.
-
Installation of Synthetic Turf: We select high-quality synthetic turf that mimics the feel of natural grass while offering enhanced durability. Our skilled installers ensure precise alignment and secure fastening.
-
Infill Application: We apply a specialised infill material to provide cushioning and support, enhancing player safety and performance.
-
Final Touches and Testing: Once installation is complete, we conduct thorough testing to meet industry standards for safety and playability.
