Why drainage matters on a pitch
Excess water and soil compaction often result in rapid deterioration of playing surfaces and ultimately can lead to the surface becoming damaged and quality of play severely affected.
Good drainage is essential in prolonging and maintaining the quality of a sports field's playing surface. The improvement once land drainage is installed can be very dramatic, waterlogging is eliminated, grass growth is stronger, soil structure enhanced, and maintenance is easier and more effective.
John Elliot Ltd can provide a complete service covering site surveys, drainage design and installation. All works are undertaken by our experienced team using our own purpose built plant and equipment.
Case study: Cockermouth School football pitches
Work started in 2005, and in 2006 John Elliot Ltd completed 3 adult and 3 mini soccer grass pitches on land to the east of Cockermouth School, which was made available by the Leconfield Estate with support from Lady Egremont. Peter Beardsley MBE opened the six new grass football pitches at the school in October 2007.
“These are excellent new pitches which will provide people in the Cockermouth area with a professional standard of playing surface.”
Peter Beardsley MBE
