Services
Sports Pitch Construction
Specialist construction of rugby, football, cricket, and bowling green surfaces using laser grading and sports-grade materials. We create durable, regulation-compliant playing fields with integrated drainage systems. Our process combines agricultural expertise with modern machinery to ensure optimal soil composition and surface performance.
Land Drainage
Precision land drainage solutions using GPS-guided trenchers and Koro Top Drain systems. We install primary and secondary drainage networks to prevent waterlogging in sports fields and agricultural land. Our systems improve soil structure and maintain playable surfaces year-round through advanced aeration techniques.
Irrigation Systems
Custom irrigation solutions for sports turf management, including programmable systems and boom sprayers. We design water-efficient networks that maintain optimal moisture levels while preventing overwatering. Our installations enhance grass health and reduce maintenance requirements through precise water distribution.
Litter Picking
Large-scale event litter collection using adapted Barber industrial machines. Our service handles post-event clean-up for festivals and carnivals, removing debris efficiently from amenity areas. The machinery enables rapid clearance while minimising surface damage to maintain turf quality.
Turf Maintenance
Comprehensive turf care including aeration, scarification, overseeding, and verti-draining. We use specialist equipment like Wiedenmann Terra Spike XP aerators to improve soil compaction. Our seasonal programmes restore pitch quality through thatch removal, top dressing, and precision grass regeneration techniques.

Report
In 2016, ARC Ground Care Ltd won the contract to build our Crown Green Bowling Green, in the village of Brewood, Staffordhire. The Green was built 'from scratch' on a large area of virgin grass (and weed!) land, which necessitated thorough preparation. From the beginning, ARC were professional and extremely knowledgeable, regarding our Club's… requirements. During the build, the Club's Committee made suggestions, regarding changes to the ongoing design of the Green. Ade Cooper (the Director of ARC) gave his own input , which was both positive and most helpful.
