Service 01

New Pitch Construction

Apex Sports Pitches designs and builds natural turf sports pitches from scratch for football, rugby, cricket, and multi-sport use.

Pitch renovation — Apex Sports Pitches
Service 02

Pitch Renovation

End-of-season and mid-season pitch renovation to restore tired, compacted, or worn surfaces to playing standard. Apex delivers structured renovation programmes using specialist machinery — deep aeration, decompaction, scarification, overseeding, top dressing, and fertilisation combined in a sequence designed to maximise recovery in the available window.

Renovation works are timed carefully around the playing calendar and adjusted to pitch condition and usage level. We advise on realistic recovery timescales and manage expectation transparently.

  • Deep aeration (hollow and solid tine)
  • Decompaction / verti-drain
  • Scarification and thatch removal
  • Overseeding with sports-grade mixes
  • Top dressing to level and improve
  • Fertilisation programme

Drainage Systems

Waterlogging is the most common cause of lost playing time on natural turf pitches. Apex Sports Pitches designs and installs drainage solutions that address root causes rather than symptoms — whether that means a new pipe drainage system, secondary slit drainage, mole drainage, or a combination approach.

All drainage work is assessed and specified to FA and RFU standards where applicable. We use quality materials, experienced drainage teams, and proven installation methods that stand the test of time.

  • Site drainage assessment
  • Pipe drainage installation
  • Slit drainage systems
  • Mole drainage
  • Sump and outlet construction
  • Herringbone drainage patterns
  • Sand slit construction
  • Existing drainage improvement

Year-Round Maintenance

  • Regular precision mowing
  • Pitch marking and lining
  • Aeration (routine and reactive)
  • Fertilisation to programme
  • Overseeding and repair
  • Weed, moss, and disease control

  • Seasonal works scheduling
  • Condition monitoring and reporting

Seeding and turfing sports pitches — Apex Sports Pitches
Service 05

Seeding & Turfing

Sports pitches demand specific grass varieties suited to the sport, usage level, and local conditions. Apex selects and supplies sports-grade seed mixes and premium cultivated turf for new pitch installation, renovation overseeding, and repair areas — with establishment management provided to ensure consistent, rapid coverage.

We work with specialist turf seed suppliers to ensure the varieties used are performance-tested and appropriate for the playing surface, offering genuine long-term benefit rather than just short-term green cover.

  • Sports-grade seed mix selection
  • Fine, medium, and coarse turf mixes
  • Hydraulic seeding (hydroseeding)
  • Broadcast overseeding
  • Slit seeding for renovation
  • Premium cultivated turf supply
  • Turf installation and bedding
  • Post-seeding establishment management
