The mix is then applied, sand first


"We use a dry 0.7mm-0.25mm silica sand, quarried in the UK at Leighton Buzzard," says Phil. "The mix is then applied, sand first, using a remotely controlled SandMatic machine, which applies accurate levels using oscillating brushes to work the material into the pile. The pitch is checked for adequate infill levels before every match, which is crucial as the pile cannot be allowed to flatten. If it does, it can become potentially dangerous to players, so diligent maintenance practice is essential to ensure consistent pitch quality."

Not only that, he arrived as Britain shivered in the grip of arctic temperatures and a heavy blanket of snow. "Once works had finished, the installer talked me through what was required, how I should look after the pitch and what machines I would need," Danny recalls. "I was also invited to a one-day maintenance course in Derby, where we covered the detail on how to properly look after the carpet to ensure we get the best from it."The community dimension means the pitch, and the eight-lane athletics track that surrounds it, is already being well used, and increase in footfall has aided in bedding in the rubber crumb, which is key to ensure it remains at a 5mm depth under the tip of the grass blades.
"Before anyone steps out, I'll walk the pitch, making sure there's no snags or tears in the carpet, no rubbish or any rubber crumb build-up," Danny continues. "Depending on usage, we'll brush with the tractor mounted attachment once a week, and the club has now invested in a snow plough and vacuum salt spreader to clear snow and combat frost and ice so, along with standard maintenance requirements, we've covered all bases to ensure that the playing characteristics don't change as the weather does.
