WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3G & 4G PITCHES?

3G pitches use sand and rubber infill to replicate the feel and bounce of natural grass. They’re FIFA and FA approved and remain the gold standard for football and rugby in the UK.

4G pitches are marketed as non-infill alternatives, but there’s currently no official certification distinguishing them from 3G. While they offer lower maintenance, most governing bodies still prefer 3G for competitive play.

We’ll advise on the best surface for your sport, budget, and compliance needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got questions about surfaces, safety, or costs? Here’s what clubs, schools, and councils typically ask before installing an artificial sports pitch.

We install 3G and 4G artificial grass pitches for football and rugby, multi-use games areas (MUGA) for schools and leisure centres, non-infill artificial turf for hockey and training grounds, and synthetic grass solutions for golf, cricket, and tennis courts. Our pitches are designed to meet safety and performance standards for professional and recreational play.

3G artificial pitches use a rubber and sand infill to replicate the feel of natural grass, making them ideal for football and rugby. 4G pitches claim to be non-infill, but there’s no official certification yet distinguishing them from 3G. For the best balance of performance, safety, and durability, 3G remains the gold standard for professional and community sports facilities.

We recommend high-performance surfaces like Viano-C 38mm and Victory-C 32mm. These turfs use advanced monofilament fibres and backing for durability, player safety, and consistent ball control. Both are FIFA and FA approved, suitable for pro and amateur use.

Maintenance is minimal but important. Regular brushing keeps fibres upright, while occasional professional deep cleaning removes debris and restores surface performance. Our maintenance plans include specialised grooming, cleaning, and repairs to extend your pitch’s lifespan.

Our high-performance artificial sports pitches last 10-15 years, depending on usage levels and maintenance. Regular brushing, infill top-ups, and deep cleaning will help preserve the surface for optimal playability and safety.

Compared to natural grass, artificial pitches require far less maintenance. However, for maximum lifespan and safety, regular brushing, debris removal, and infill redistribution are recommended. We also offer deep cleaning and resurfacing services to keep your pitch in peak condition.

The cost of an artificial sports pitch varies based on size, surface type, and site preparation. Here are typical price ranges:

  • 5-a-Side Football Pitch: £30,000 – £50,000
  • Full-Size Football Pitch: £100,000 – £150,000
  • Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA): £50,000 – £80,000

We specialise in the installation of professional artificial sports surfaces for football, rugby, tennis, MUGA (Multi-Use Games Areas), and more across:

If your school, club, or sports facility is outside these areas, get in touch—we offer custom solutions for projects nationwide.

If you’re installing a 5-a-side garden football pitch, prices start from £30,000-£50,000, depending on turf type, installation needs, and site prep.

Yes! Many professional football, rugby, and hockey teams use FIFA, FA, and IRB-approved artificial pitches for training and competitive matches. Our surfaces meet international performance and safety standards, ensuring a reliable playing experience.

In most cases, yes – especially for full-size football and rugby pitches. Planning permission is required for changes of land use, floodlighting, fencing, and drainage systems. We can advise on the process and provide documentation to support your application.

Prices typically start from £22–£25 per sqm depending on turf type, shock pads, and site preparation. For a full-size football pitch, this usually equates to £100k–£150k installed.

A full-size 4G pitch usually costs between £110k–£170k, depending on groundworks, drainage, and whether shock pads are required. For smaller 5-a-side pitches, costs can start from £30k–£50k.

Both typically last 10–15 years with proper maintenance. The key difference is in the infill – 3G requires regular topping up and redistribution, while 4G markets itself as “non-infill” but currently lacks long-term independent data.

Yes. We provide resurfacing and repair services for existing sports facilities. This includes deep cleaning, replacing worn turf, adding new shock pads, and upgrading to modern 3G/4G standards without rebuilding the entire base.

Absolutely. Rugby pitches require extra safety measures, which is why we install IRB-certified shock pads to absorb impact in scrums and tackles. These ensure compliance with player-safety standards.

Yes – schools and clubs can often access Sport England, Football Foundation, and RFU/FA funding. We can provide CFH reports, specifications, and quotes to support grant applications.
