Services
Golf Course Construction
Fineturf specialises in full-cycle golf course construction, including earthworks, drainage, irrigation, and USGA-spec green installation. Our team employs laser grading and specialist machinery to create precision surfaces for fairways, bunkers, and tees. With expertise in both traditional and modern design, we ensure optimal playability and environmental sustainability for private and commercial clients.
Cricket Pitch Renovation
Our cricket pitch services include loam layer consolidation, drainage upgrades, and hybrid turf integration. Using low-pressure machinery to prevent outfield compaction, we restore pitch consistency and durability. Annual renovation programmes ensure professional-grade bounce and carry for clubs, schools, and international venues like Lord's Cricket Ground.
Football Pitch Drainage
We install primary and secondary drainage systems using sand slits and perforated pipes to prevent waterlogging. Our solutions enhance pitch longevity for stadiums and training grounds, incorporating Profile soil amendments to improve rootzone aeration and nutrient retention for both natural and hybrid turf systems.
Tennis Court Irrigation
Fineturf designs and installs precision irrigation systems for grass tennis courts, ensuring consistent moisture levels without oversaturation. Our systems comply with LTA specifications, using weather-adaptive controllers and low-volume sprinklers to maintain optimal playing conditions while minimising water waste at venues like Wimbledon.
Hybrid Turf Installation
We supply and install Tillers Hybrid Turf, combining natural grass with synthetic reinforcement for elite football and rugby pitches. This system allows rapid installation, chemical-free maintenance, and multi-event usability without compromising player safety, as demonstrated at Tottenham Hotspur FC and NFL stadiums.

Just needed turf to extend a lawn, these people helped me choose the right grade and had it ready for my collection next day. The quality and the price was great, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
