3g Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Contractors

Posted on by Elliot

As specialist 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Contractors we work nationwide throughout the UK.

In the UK there is a huge array of old worn sand-filled pitches mostly used for football.

The preferred artificial football surface specification is a 3G which is sand + rubber filled synthetic turf. These 3G surfaces are also advertised as a 4G pitch or 5G pitch surface.

Why Resurface your Synthetic Football Pitch?

Astro turf sand filled surfaces will eventually reach the end of their lifecycle.

The performance properties will begin to decrease and playing characteristics like ball bounce, ball roll, slide resistance, and its drainage properties will begin to degrade as it passes the end of its life.

This is why artificial pitch resurfacing is so important as it gives the facility the perfect opportunity to improve their sports pitch with new and high-performance properties.

The 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing Process

The process of resurfacing an all-weather pitch into a 3G sport surface specification is:

  • Uplift and removal of existing worn carpet
  • Preparation works to sub base (i.e. checking drainage, shockpad levels and edging)
  • Repairs to damaged areas
  • Installation of the 3G artificial grass carpet
  • Lines to be cut in to be part of the synthetic carpet
  • All seams and joints glued and taped
  • Installation of the sand infill to hold the pile upright and weigh the carpet down
  • Installation of the rubber crumb infill to give the playing characteristics needed for football or rugby
  • Brushing to evenly distribute the infill ready for playing on the surface

Every re-surfacing project is unique and the solutions are individually tailored to each client so please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Why Choose a 3G Specification?

3G pitches are becoming the number one choice for many artificial turf sports pitches with football.

4G Pitches and 5G Turf Specification are being advertised but these products are just variations in the third generation artificial grass with sand and rubber infill.

The number one choice when choosing a synthetic surface for football is a 3G sport surface. Its specialist combination infill of rubber crumb and sand help to protect the grass from heavy tackles and provide perfect ball role.

3G Pitch Resurfacing Costs

The costs to resurface a 3G Pitch is approximately £140,000 in the UK.

These costs can vary significantly depending on the size and dimensions of the all weather pitch.

Other factors to consider is the quality of the synthetic turf carpet as this can massively change the costs to complete a 3G pitch resurface.

Lastly, some projects in the UK are on rooftops or obscure locations so this can affect the prices and quotation value.

We can price any project in the UK from the highlands in Scotland down to Devon. As nationwide resurfacing contractors get in touch for best prices on the 3G Artificial Sports Pitch Resurfacing installations.

There are plenty of case studies and testimonials of projects we can show you during your enquiry.

How Long Does It Take To Resurface An Artificial Sports Pitch?

It takes 3-5 weeks to resurface a full-sized artificial sports pitch into the latest 3G artificial grass sport surface.

This comprises of one week onsite uplifting and removing of the existing worn synthetic carpet.

1-2 weeks preparation works depending on the sub base and shock pad under the synthetic turf carpet.

Then finally two weeks to install the 3G artificial grass surfacing with infill and lines cut in.

The length of time to resurface an artificial sports pitch can vary depending on access and weather conditions so it is wise to project manage the works to take 5-8 weeks. Sports consultants usually allow two months as it allows a provisional sum for bad weather.

Why Choose an Artificial Hockey Pitch?

Posted on by Elliot

With hockey being one of the most popular sports on the P.E. curriculum, many schools dedicate a lot of resources to the sport but fail to recognise that one of the most important resources (the surface) plays a huge part.

In today’s post, we shall be covering why you should consider swapping a natural surface for an artificial hockey pitch. Check out our full range of different sports surfaces here to see what’s available.

Benefits of Synthetic Turf for Hockey

Artificial turf has many great benefits with it that not a lot of people know about. Some of these benefits include:

  • Usable in different weather conditions – Many sports that play on a natural grass turf face one major problem. Weather. Winter can freeze up the grass and make it solid and painful to fall on, rain can cause puddles to form and slow down the pace of the sport and sun can cause the pitch to lose its colour. Synthetic grass doesn’t suffer from these problems as much and can really allow your players to carry on playing regardless of conditions.
  • Strong and versatile – With many sports fields taking a lot of damage during activity, natural grass usually struggles to keep up with the demands of players. This can lead to your pitch gaining horrific damage and ruining its looks. Synthetic grass, however, can handle the heavy use without showing any problems for over 500 hours.
  • No growing – When installed, natural grass requires a period to grow to a certain point until it is okay to play on. This can waste a lot of time and cause some matches to even be cancelled.

Synthetic grass doesn’t need any time to grow. As soon as it’s installed, it can be used pretty much instantly with no time being wasted. In addition, this saves time on maintenance as you won’t have to dedicate so much of your day to keeping the pitch in great condition.

Synthetic Hockey Pitch Surface

Synthetic Hockey Pitches can be made up from a wide range of different surface types. However, the most commonly selected (and the ones we recommend) are 2G artificial turf and Multisport synthetic turf. Both offer an incredible environment playing hockey in as well as many benefits to the players and the owners.

2G artificial turf is a sand-based surface with short synthetic grass blades sticking up. Many people agree that this surface is one of the best to play hockey on due to how flat the ground is. One of the many problems hockey players can encounter is an uneven pitch. Certain areas may slow down the ball whilst others may speed it up. With this playing surface, however, this problem doesn’t occur as water is drained away and the sand provides a good level of cushioning and friction.

Multisport synthetic grass is a lot more popular within schools and is also known as activity surfacing. Whilst 2G artificial grass is a lot more specific as it’s mainly suited around hockey, multisport artificial grass offers a more suitable surface for a wide range of sports. It can be cheaper for schools as the hockey pitch can support multiple sports instead of requiring separate pitch installations, many schools have recently started to get these types of pitches installed.

Maintaining Artificial Hockey Surfaces

Maintaining your artificial surface is important. Even though it doesn’t require the same time and resources as maintaining your natural grass, it’s still important to keep it running well. Firstly, always perform a routine check is a great place to start. Walk around your pitch and see if you can spot any sort of problems with the surface. Maybe some of it is starting to tear up or maybe the sand infill has been lost over time.

If you spot any damage to the hockey pitch, act quickly. Acting straight away can save you a lot of money and time as leaving the problem may let it develop into something worse and possibly lead to further issues occurring in the future. Contacting us at Soft Surfaces will allow us to help analyse what the problem is and recommend the right course of action to take.

If you spot no damage, make sure to keep the hockey pitch clean. Brush across the surface with a soft brush to remove any dirt from the surface and to keep it clean to avoid any dirt entering the surface. Dirt and contaminants can end up blocking the porous surface and cause draining problems whilst making it quite dangerous to play on.

Soft brushing can also help evenly distribute sand around the pitch and stop build-ups occurring on certain sides of the pitch. By this happening, you can keep your pitch performing at its full potential and avoid any unnecessary problems from popping up. The level of play required will depend on whether or not you need England Hockey standards or just recreational use.
