Rigorous Pitch Maintenance Pays Off at Kingley Gate

23rd October 2019


Establishment of the newly constructed pitches at Kingley Gate is progressing nicely, with ongoing maintenance of the project being delivered by Turfdry.

Although a pitch’s construction lays the most fundamental foundation of its quality, the careful, rigorous maintenance required to establish a healthy, durable sward should not be overlooked. Although some of our clients opt to manage this themselves, the majority entrust this process to Turfdry’s nationally recognised expertise in the field.


Crucial to successful sward establishment and management is a sensitivity and receptivity to the elements - unlike the majority of construction projects, natural turf construction must work hand-in-hand with the seasons and the ever-changing weather to ensure the highest possible quality sports surface. With Turfdry taking charge of establishment and maintenance, clients can be assured of optimal facilities at handover, ensuring cost-effective projects that deliver the best results for the end-users.

Recent site inspections have revealed good sward growth, and recent visits from Arun Council have proven to be most complimentary, with council representatives saying that the pitches were of a significantly higher quality than any they have had delivered in recent years - always welcome news for the Turfdry team!

We look forward to sharing news of the finalised facilities soon, so be sure to check back at www.turfdry.com for more.
