Sports surfaces · Perth metro
Bowling greens, cricket pitches, putting greens, multi-use courts and gym flooring. The surface is chosen for how the ball and the body have to behave on it, not for how it looks from the fence.
Why a sports surface is different
A domestic lawn is judged on how it looks and how soft it is. A sports surface is judged on how the ball behaves. Pile height, yarn stiffness, infill weight and the base all change pace and bounce, and a surface that looks beautiful can play badly.
That is why the specification starts with the sport. A bowling green wants a short, dense, tightly infilled surface on a base that is dead flat across its whole length. A cricket pitch wants consistent bounce and a predictable seam. A putting green wants roll speed you can actually set.
The base does more of that work than the turf. On a green, level tolerance across the rink is the whole job, and it is why the base takes far longer than laying the surface.
| Sports | Lawn bowls, cricket, golf and putting, hockey, football, multi-use courts, gym and functional training |
|---|---|
| What is specified | Pile height, yarn stiffness, infill weight and base build-up, chosen for the sport |
| Line marking | Set out before laying and inlaid, not painted on |
| Base | Excavated, sub-based and compacted to level tolerance across the playing area |
| Warranty | 10 to 25 years depending on the surface, UV included |
| Supply only | Available, with trade pricing for clubs and councils with an ABN |
Surfaces
Supply only or supplied and installed. Gym and multi-use areas often combine turf with rubber, which we also supply and lay.
Level is everything
Short dense pile, heavily infilled, on a base built flat across the full length of the rink.
Consistent bounce
Match and practice wickets, with the base and infill set for predictable pace and bounce.
Roll speed
Backyard greens, fringe and practice areas, with the speed set by pile, infill and the cut of the base.
Turf and rubber
Sled tracks, functional training strips and turf run alongside rubber flooring in the same fit-out.
How it works
We measure, check levels and falls across the whole playing area, and talk through how it will be used and how often.
Pile, yarn, infill weight and base build-up chosen for the sport, with line marking set out before anything is laid.
Excavation, sub-base and compaction, checked to level across the area. On a green this is most of the program.
Laid, joined, infilled to the weight the surface needs, brushed and lines set in.
Clubs, schools and councils buying direct can open a trade account with an ABN for net pricing on supply-only orders.
Questions
Yes. The base is the bulk of the work, because a green is judged on how flat it is across the full length of the rink, not on the surface itself.
Pile height, yarn stiffness and infill weight, all set so the ball bounces the same way every time. Lawn turf is built to feel soft, which is the opposite of what a wicket needs.
Roll speed comes from the pile, the infill and how tightly the base is cut and compacted. Tell us the speed you want to putt at and it is set during the build.
Yes. Lines are set out before the surface goes down and inlaid rather than painted on, so they do not wear off.
Yes for supply only. For a green or a wicket we would talk you through the base first, because that is where a self-built surface usually goes wrong.
