Cricket Pitch Consultants
The success of a cricket pitch depends essentially on the construction and preparation of the cricket square, which needs to have perfect drainage. My work as a cricket pitch consultant takes me throughout the UK providing consultancy on existing cricket pitches and more often, project managing the whole construction of new cricket pitches so that the end result creates perfect playing conditions.
The construction of the turf wicket requires the installation of the appropriate profile to ensure control of underground water and the correct performance of the playing surface. The maintenance and preparation of wickets for play demands special planning and care. Ensuring an acceptable 'ball bounce' between the stumps is vital and depends entirely on the upper profile of the clay loam surface and the attention given prior to the game.
