frequently asked questions

Yes, artificial turf is the industry standard for hockey fields because it ensures a perfectly consistent ball roll and reliable traction. Unlike natural grass, synthetic hockey surfaces do not develop ruts or bare patches, allowing for the high-speed precision play the sport requires. The specific speed and responsiveness of the pitch are determined by the particular turf system and pile density selected for your facility.

Artificial turf maintains stable playability and consistent ball speed even in heavy rain, significantly reducing weather-related cancellations. Our advanced drainage designs and professional baseworks ensure that water clears the surface rapidly to prevent ponding. This reliability allows clubs and schools to continue training and matches throughout the New Zealand winter without the risk of a muddy, unusable field.

Yes, we specialise in installing hockey surfaces for school multi-use courts, club training grounds, and dedicated competitive facilities. Synthetic turf is exceptionally resilient and easily manages the high daily usage and repetitive drills common in educational environments. We adapt the final specifications to meet your specific level of play:

  • School Level: Durable, multi-sport surfaces that support hockey along with other PE activities.
  • Club/Competitive: High-density systems designed for optimal ball speed and professional-grade performance.

The performance of a hockey pitch is primarily determined by ball speed, surface grip, and shock absorption. These technical characteristics are influenced by the fibre structure, the type of infill used, and the quality of the shockpad underlay. We select the optimal combination of these elements to ensure the surface is safe for players and meets the specific performance standards required for the sport.

Maintenance for synthetic hockey turf is minimal and far less labour-intensive than maintaining a natural grass field. Regular care focuses on keeping the surface clear of organic debris and monitoring the condition of the turf to ensure peak performance. Periodic professional servicing is recommended for high-use facility pitches to preserve the pile integrity and extend the overall lifespan of the investment.

Yes, permanent line markings are built directly into the turf layout during the installation process for maximum durability. This eliminates the need for regular repainting and ensures that all lines remain accurate and highly visible for years. Our installations follow regulation dimensions to ensure your field meets the necessary standards for competitive club or school hockey.

The lifespan of a hockey surface depends on the intensity of use and the consistency of the maintenance routine. Our turf systems are engineered for long-term durability and are UV-stabilised to withstand the harsh New Zealand sun. Professional installation combined with appropriate upkeep ensures the surface remains in top condition, protecting your facility’s asset for the long term.
