SURFACE REMOVAL...

If a playing surface has not received proper maintenance over a period of time or if it has received heavy usage during inappropriate conditions, the surface characteristics can quickly deteriorate. Tony Patterson Sportsgrounds has over £1,000,000 worth of specialist machinery which can be used to renovate existing surfaces to bring them up to the desirable standard. All our specialist equipment is low ground bearing pressure to prevent any damage to the existing surfaces.


Surface Removal

The surface of a pitch can breakdown into a fine silty layer. This 'capping layer' slows drainage and prevents the circulation of air to the roots, which is essential for healthy growth.

Construction Surface removal at Bryansford GAC

Our specialist machine can remove between 5mm and 40mm of the surface. This process has the additional benefit of levelling the surface, removing many localised and often dangerous undulations. Tony Patterson Sportsgrounds is one of the very few contractors capable of carrying out this process.

Construction Bryansford after 10 weeks

Following Top Dressing and direct seeding the pitch can be playable again within 10 to 14 weeks. We have had excellent results with this technique.
