Turf For School Sports Pitches
Choosing the right turf for your needs is an important consideration. When it comes to laying turf for school sports pitches, the importance lies in the quality of the turf and how hard-wearing it is.
School sports pitches go through a lot of wear and tear, from daily sporting activities taking place to lunchtime fun and games. With this in mind, the turf often needs relaying every few years to ensure that the pitch is in good condition and suitable for all the school activities. Although school sports pitches are large, if one area of turf is weak and damaged, chances are that the whole pitch will need relaying.
Laying turf for sports pitches requires specialist laying equipment. Small strips of turf would not be suitable for large playing fields or sports pitches, so that's why turf is also available in a large roll format, for ease of laying.
There are specific turf products available that have superior wear and disease resistance, making it great for schools looking for a long-term turf solution. In recent years, top turf suppliers have enhanced their product range and production to be able to offer turf that is far superior to that of 10+ years ago.
The right turf is crucial for longevity, and ultimately the quality is the most important thing. As school sports pitches are large areas, take the time to consider which turf is suitable for your needs and always speak with a turf expert if you are in any doubt.
When it comes to relaying a school’s sports pitch though, one thing to bear in mind is the time factor. The new turf will have to be laid during the school holidays in the summer, which means planning as far ahead in advance is crucial. Decide which turf you need and plan a time scale for work to start and work to complete. By the time the new term starts in September, the most important thing is that the children have a fabulous new pitch on which to play their sporting games.
