Maintenance and cleaning of sports fields

Why Is Regular Maintenance of Tennis or Padel Courts Important?
A tennis court is not just a green surface – it is a precision-engineered system where each layer serves a specific purpose. The artificial turf, infill material (sand or rubber granules), base layer, and drainage system work together to provide a stable ball bounce, good traction, and joint-friendly elasticity.
Without regular maintenance, the following problems may occur:
-
uneven distribution of infill material
-
hard and slippery areas forming on the surface
-
moss and weeds starting to grow
-
reduced water drainage
-
inconsistent ball bounce​

Professional Maintenance Service – What Does It Include?
1. Deep Cleaning and Brushing
Using specialized maintenance machines, we lift the turf fibers, evenly redistribute the infill material, and remove dirt, leaves, and organic debris. This restores the natural ball bounce and improves playing comfort.
2. Infill Leveling and Top-Up
Over time, the infill becomes compacted or shifts toward the edges of the court. We add new sand where needed and distribute it evenly across the entire surface, then brush it in.
3. Rolling
After brushing in the sand, we roll the surface to compact and stabilize the court structure.
Maintenance Frequency
Recommended maintenance frequency depends on usage:
-
Private courts – at least once a year (preferably in spring)
-
School and club courts – 1–2 times per year
-
High-use sports facilities – as needed, often 2+ times per year
An Investment That Pays Off
With proper maintenance, a court can serve players for 10–15 years or even longer.
Why Choose a Professional Service?
While regular light brushing and leaf removal are important, they do not replace professional deep maintenance. We use specialized machinery designed specifically for sports surfaces.
Running Track Maintenance and Cleaning
A tartan running track is the heart of any stadium. It is where records are set, first steps in sports are taken, and elite athletes refine their performance. However, even the highest-quality surface requires regular professional maintenance to preserve its elasticity, safety, and appearance for years.
Why Does a Tartan Surface Need Maintenance?
Tartan tracks are made from elastic synthetic materials designed to withstand intensive use and varying weather conditions. However, they are constantly affected by:
-
UV radiation
-
temperature fluctuations
-
rain, snow, and ice
-
dirt, sand, and organic debris
-
spikes from running shoes
Over time, dirt accumulates, pores become clogged, and water drainage deteriorates. This can result in a more slippery surface, uneven grip, and accelerated wear.
Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues and preserves the track’s technical properties.
Professional Maintenance – What Does It Include?
1. Deep Cleaning
We use professional adjustable-pressure washing equipment, allowing us to select the correct pressure for the surface and effectively remove dirt, sand, and organic material from both the surface and its pores.
2. Drainage Restoration
One of the key properties of tartan surfaces is water permeability. When pores become clogged, water remains on the surface. Our maintenance restores proper drainage, helping prevent puddles and frost damage.
Maintenance Frequency
Recommended frequency depends on usage intensity, but typically 1–2 times per year is optimal.
Why Choose a Professional Service?
A tartan surface is a technical sports surface that requires proper methods and equipment. Excessive pressure washing or incorrect chemicals can cause irreversible damage.
