How we build

How an Artificial Hockey Pitch Is Installed

A professional hockey turf installation is engineered in layers. Get the base right and your hockey grass performs for a decade or more.

1

Compacted stone sub-base

Crushed stone is levelled and compacted for load-bearing strength and drainage.

2

Asphalt layer

A smooth binder course creates the even, stable platform the game demands.

3

Rubber shock pad

An elastic shock pad absorbs impact, protecting players' joints and softening falls.

4

Hockey turf carpet

The artificial hockey grass is rolled out, seamed with professional joining tape and line-marked.

5

Silica sand & rubber infill

Kiln-dried silica sand infill (and rubber infill where specified) is brushed in to support the fibres and set ball speed.

Why artificial

The Pros of an Artificial Hockey Pitch

From school leagues to provincial tournaments, artificial hockey turf outperforms natural grass on every measure that matters.

1

Consistent, true ball roll

Artificial hockey grass gives an even, predictable surface — no bare patches, divots or mud — so ball speed and bounce stay the same across the whole pitch, all season long.

2

Play in all weather, all year

A properly built artificial hockey pitch drains fast and stays playable after rain. WET and sand dressed systems mean fixtures are never lost to waterlogged natural fields.

3

Far lower maintenance costs

No mowing, fertilising, re-seeding or daily watering. Occasional brushing and infill top-ups keep hockey turf match-ready for a fraction of the cost of natural grass.

4

More playing hours per week

Natural fields need rest; artificial hockey turf can host training, matches and multi-sport use daily without wearing out — ideal for busy schools and clubs.

5

Player safety and comfort

Modern hockey turf systems with shock pads and silica sand or rubber infill cushion falls, reduce joint strain and give reliable grip for quick turns.

6

Long lifespan with UV warranty

Quality artificial hockey grass is UV-stabilised for the harsh South African sun and carries an 8-year warranty — a decade-plus of top-level play.

7

Multi-sport flexibility

Add line markings and one sand dressed pitch serves hockey, tennis, netball and five-a-side — maximum value from a single surface investment.

8

Water-wise and eco friendly

Sand dressed hockey turf needs no irrigation at all, and modern WET systems use far less water than older designs — a big win in drought-prone regions.

Questions answered

Hockey Grass FAQs

What is the difference between WET and sand dressed hockey turf?

WET (water-based) hockey turf is a dense, unfilled artificial hockey grass that is irrigated before play — the water layer gives the fastest, truest ball roll and is used for international hockey. Sand dressed hockey turf has slightly longer fibres part-filled with silica sand, needs no watering and is the affordable favourite for schools and clubs.

How much does hockey grass cost per m² in South Africa?

Hockey grass pricing depends on the system (WET, sand dressed or 18mm), pile density and whether you need supply only or full installation. Contact us with your pitch size for a wholesale direct quote — we match any written quote on equivalent hockey turf.

Do you deliver hockey turf outside Gauteng?

Yes. We deliver hockey grass countrywide — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein and every town in between — and our installation teams run projects in all 9 provinces.

Is your hockey turf FIH approved?

We supply both FIH approved hockey turf systems (meeting FIH Global, National and Multi-level performance standards) and non-FIH approved hockey grass for training facilities and budget-conscious projects.

How long does an artificial hockey pitch last?

With correct installation and basic maintenance, quality artificial hockey grass lasts 10 years or more. Our hockey turf is UV-stabilised for South African sun and carries an 8-year warranty.

Can a hockey pitch be used for other sports?

Yes — sand dressed and 18mm hockey turf are excellent multi-sport surfaces. Add line markings and your pitch can host tennis, netball and five-a-side soccer without affecting hockey performance.
