The construction of cricket wickets and outfields is a complex procedure as it is essential that the ball bounce is consistent throughout.
Chappelow Sports Turf is experienced in the construction of all kinds of cricketing surfaces from a single wicket to a complete ground.
Using specialist machinery, including laser levelling equipment, attention to detail and precision, we create cricket surfaces of the highest quality.
Cricket pitches require specialist drainage systems as most drainage problems on cricket pitches result from water penetrating from the surrounding areas.
We can install a number of drainage solutions tailored to your ground, the soil density, and the landscape of the surrounding area.
Overseeding is the process of implanting grass seed just under the surface of the ground and sealing the holes to ensure the seed germinates and grows rapidly. Overseeding replenishes worn, high-use areas of playing surfaces such as goalmouths and tees by introducing new cultivars into the sward.
A disc seeder first creates slits which the seed is then dropped into, with the rear roller then closing these slits. Seeding is carried out in two to three different directions across the surface to give an even coverage; resulting in a thick, strong turf.
Chappelow Sports Turf operates a variety of overseeding machinery allowing us to cater for a variety of sports, clubs and facilities.
