We spent the day in the sunshine last week at Oriam, based at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

Throughout the close season, we have been working to prepare the pitches used by the SFA, Heart of Midlothian and Scottish Rugby Union, helping ensure the surfaces remain at the highest standard all year round.

A great environment to work in and good to see the progress being made across the site.

Premiership status retained on Monday. Preparations for next season begin on Tuesday.

We’re spending this week at the SMiSA Stadium, home of St Mirren FC lifting and replacing the pitch ahead of the 2026/27 season.

To remove the top layer of the park, we use a machine called a Koro. This strips away the old vegetation before we replace the existing sand with fibre sand, overseed the surface, fertilise it and begin the grow-in process ready for the new season.

Delighted to see the club retain their Premiership status and always a pleasure working alongside the team in Paisley.

Scotland’s World Cup venue is undergoing a major surface transformation ahead of the 2026 tournament.

Gillette Stadium, home of Scotland’s group stage matches against Haiti and Morocco, is replacing its long-standing artificial surface with a newly installed natural grass pitch to meet FIFA requirements.

For the sports turf industry, it is another reminder that elite performance starts beneath the surface.

We took a closer look at what this transformation says about modern surface performance, drainage, rootzone construction and the growing importance of natural turf at the highest level of the game.

As the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues, one of the tournament’s host venues has been undergoing a major surface transformation.

Investing in our team

This week our team completed their First Aid training, making sure they are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to respond when it matters most.

Health and safety is a key part of how we operate across every site, and having trained staff on the ground is essential to maintaining a safe working environment.

A good few days of learning and a valuable addition to the team’s skillset.

On the road with a fresh look 🍃

Our van has had a full wrap courtesy of the team at Appeal Media and we are delighted with how it has turned out.

Having clear, consistent branding out on the road is a simple but effective way to raise awareness of Greentech Sportsturf and the work we carry out across Scotland.

A big thank you to Appeal Media for a great job from start to finish.

If you spot us out and about, give us a wave.

Installation at Oriam Sports Facility

We recently completed the installation of a state of the art POGO TurfPro weather station at Oriam.

This was followed by a seminar with the groundstaff, focusing on the Pogo water monitoring system and how it integrates with the weather station to support better decision making on site.

A great session sharing practical insight and helping the team get the most from the data available to them.

Masters Eve. The work is already done.

Before a shot is hit this week, the surfaces are ready.

What looks effortless on screen is the result of months of planning, preparation and detail. Every green, fairway and approach has been built to deliver consistency from the first tee shot to the final putt.

That level of performance comes from getting the fundamentals right:

•⁠ ⁠Strong, well-developed rootzones
•⁠ ⁠Consistent moisture management
•⁠ ⁠Reliable drainage through changing conditions
•⁠ ⁠Ongoing maintenance planned well in advance

At this level, there is no guesswork. Surfaces are built to perform.

The same principles apply across every course. Whether it is a championship venue or a local club, consistency is what defines the playing experience.

That is what we focus on every day.
