With the cricket season coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about getting your grounds in the best possible condition for next season.🌱

On Tuesday, we carried out our first cricket renovation of the year at Hayle Cricket Club, giving the cricket square a thorough end-of-season renovation.

The work included:
🔹 Scarifying in two directions at 10mm deep
🔹 Vertidraining
🔹 Overseeding
🔹 Applying 2 bags of Multigreen fertiliser
🔹 Unloading and applying 250 bags of Binders Ongar Loam
🔹 Finally, working the loam thoroughly into the square using a drag mat

Please dont hesitate to get in contact with us, to discuss your end of season maintenance !

A Massive thank you to, James Franklin, CIB Lello Plant Hire LTD. and as always, our staff for all mucking in and getting stuck into the job💪

☀️This summer, we carried out a secondary drainage project on a football pitch in Exeter.

While the recent hot weather has kept the ground firm, dusty and dry, we know that when the rain does arrive, this pitch can quickly become wet and unplayable.🌧️

To help improve drainage and keep the surface usable, we installed drainage runs at 1-metre centres, while simultaneously filling the drains with gravel. Using our adapted AFT Trenchers WhizzWheel, this process is carried out efficiently, with minimal waste and mess on the pitch surface, before finishing the top few inches with specialist sports sand.

These gravel drains are designed to work alongside the existing primary drainage already installed in the pitch.

A job designed with the wetter months in mind — because good ground conditions aren’t just about dealing with the weather we have today, but preparing for what comes next. 💧⚽️

Don’t hesitate to get in contact with us, to discuss drainage solutions for your pitch!

🚛Our lorry and bulk tipper have been busy working across the South West, transporting grain, animal feed, and some aggregates 🌾

It was also a busy week moving our own plant and equipment up to Exeter, where we're getting underway on a major secondary drainage project.🚜

🛰️Our Turf Tank robotic GPS line marker has been busy recently, carrying out initial line marking for sports clubs, as well as preparing pitches and fields for tournaments and school sports days.

Using GPS technology, we can produce accurate, consistent, and professional-quality lines every time, helping your facilities look their very best.

✅ Perfect for clubs, schools, tournaments, and sports events�✅ Fast, precise, and efficient line marking�✅ All of our staff are fully DBS checked, giving schools and organisations complete peace of mind.

To make your lines last even longer, we also apply a Plant Growth Regulator (PGR). This slows the growth of the grass where the lines are painted, helping to keep them visible for longer and reducing the chance of them being cut away during mowing.

If you're looking for reliable, professional line marking services, get in touch, we'd be happy to help!

Contact us today to book your next line marking service.

Its great to see clubs sharing photos of their pitches looking fantastic following our end-of-season renovations! 🌱⚽

It's rewarding to see all the hard work paying off, and these pitches are a real credit to all the hard work the groundsmen put in to getting them looking as amazing as they do.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their progress!

It's great to be back at Coldharbour Football Ground after a couple of years, and we're delighted to be working with Bodmin Youth FC again! ⚽🌱

Over the last few weeks, we've been carrying out a range of pitch improvement works, including:

✅ Repairs to one pitch with deep ruts using high-quality root zone supplied by Goonvean.

✅ Selective w**d spraying across all three pitches.

✅ Deep tine aeration to depths of approximately 11 inches, helping to relieve compaction and improve root development.

✅ Overseeding of the main pitch, along with overseeding worn areas on the other two pitches to encourage a stronger, healthier sward.

Every sports surface is different, which is why we offer a range of tailored solutions to suit your club's specific needs and budget.

If your pitches could benefit from some professional care, get in touch we'd be happy to discuss how we can help.

Despite the less than summery weather this week, the team have been working hard and making great progress!🌦️

We've successfully vertidrained and seeded another 9 pitches, with nearly 1000kg of seed going in the ground, as well as scarifying 2 more and spreading approximately 1500kg of controlled release fertiliser. All helping to improve playing surfaces ready for the months ahead.

A huge thank you to all our new and returning customers across Cornwall and Devon for choosing us. We love helping your pitches recover, thrive, and provide the best possible playing conditions.
🌱⚽ Here's to healthier pitches and better play surfaces across the South West!

Cracking on with the pitch renovations 🌱

07/06/2026

Another busy week for the team, travelling across Cornwall and helping local clubs get their pitches on the road to recovery. 🌱⚽🏉

This week we carried out vertidraining and seeding work at Penryn Athletic FC, St Agnes AFC and St Agnes RFC before moving on to St Just AFC, where we verti-drained, seeded and applied Origin multigreen fertiliser.

We also spread fertiliser at Charlestown Youth & Ladies FC and St Blazey Football club, while another verti-drainer was hard at work in Mawnan before heading over to Troon AFC Youth to vertidrain both their main pitch and training pitch.

A big thank you to all the clubs for choosing us. It's always a pleasure to support local sport and help keep pitches performing at their best.
