Preparing and maintaining a grass football pitch
In short: A grass football pitch is the most demanding lawn there is. How we kept one pitch dense, level and green right through the season.
A grass football pitch is the most demanding lawn there is — it has to stand up to heavy foot traffic and still come back dense, level and green week after week.
The challenge: pitch quality and safety through the whole season
To keep the pitch in good condition and safe to play on throughout the season, despite frequent and heavy use.
What the work on a football pitch involves
- Regular mowing to a precisely set height
- Aeration and top dressing with sand for healthy, deep roots
- Feeding to a set programme and preventive disease treatments
- Repair and overseeding of worn and thinning areas
- Even irrigation across the whole pitch
The result: a dense, level, green pitch all season long
The pitch stayed dense, level and green all season — safe for the players and good to look at from the stands.
