Winter Games Pitches

Narrative

Slit Drainage Sands

High permeability sands to allow the rapid flow of water to the drains but also sufficiently water retentive to support grass growth. Stable enough to maintain the playing surface under extreme wear conditions.

Soil amelioration

Suitable uniform sands to blend with existing soil to create a free-draining rootzone with pore space to provide airflow and water percolation

Blinding Sands

Specially selected sands to prevent soil over drain trenches from contaminating the gravel backfill in the trench or the rootzone material from migrating down from a overlying rootzone into a gravel carpet. Always selected to have a suitable binding factor with the underlying gravel.
