Synthetic turf services

Maintenance work that keeps a synthetic surface playing the way it was designed to, and keeps it playing for longer.

Grooming

Regular brushing to stand the fibres upright and redistribute infill evenly across the surface.

Deep cleaning

Extraction of debris, dust and organic matter from deep within the turf pile using specialised equipment.

Repairs

Repair of seams, tears and damaged sections to keep the surface safe and playable.

Infill top-ups

Replenishing sand or rubber infill to restore correct levels and surface performance.

Who we work with

Maintenance planned around how each facility actually gets used.

Schools

Play areas, courts and sports fields kept safe for daily student use.

Councils

Public open space and community sports surfaces maintained to a consistent standard.

Sporting clubs

Playing surfaces kept in condition through the season and between seasons.

Community facilities

Shared recreation spaces that need to stay presentable and usable year round.

Residential synthetic lawn work is also undertaken alongside our facility programmes.

Why Ongrade

We work on synthetic surfaces from the ground up, which shapes how we maintain them.

  • Purpose-built machinery

    Dedicated synthetic turf equipment rather than adapted general grounds machinery.

  • Base-level understanding

    Our civil division builds sports field bases, so we know how a surface behaves and why it fails.

  • Consistent programmes

    Scheduled, repeatable maintenance rather than reactive one-off visits.

Base preparation and laser grading

Ongrade Civil prepares and constructs the bases that synthetic sports fields are built on. The base determines how a surface drains, how level it plays and how long it lasts.
