Turnkey delivery for schools, clubs, universities and municipalities.
A quality hockey pitch is an engineered system. We coordinate the layers and interfaces so the surface plays fast, drains properly and stays safe over time.
South Africa’s UV exposure, thunderstorm seasons and year-round school usage make drainage capacity and base quality critical. We design around local soil conditions, access constraints and construction windows.
Clear steps, clear scope, fewer surprises.
Covering every stage of your hockey turf lifecycle.
Full turnkey hockey pitch construction — from earthworks and drainage through to shockpad, synthetic hockey grass, fencing, lighting and spectator areas. We align layouts with FIH guidelines and your school or club masterplan.
When your existing astro hockey field becomes slow, hard or unsafe, we assess bases and shockpads, repair structural issues and install new water-based or sand-dressed hockey turf systems with fresh line-markings.
Hockey pitch resurfacing South AfricaWe provide deep cleaning, seam repairs, infill top-ups (where applicable) and localised patching to extend the life of your hockey turf, reduce injuries and keep the pitch playing fast and true.
Water-based, sand-dressed and multi-sport hockey grass options.
For top-level competition and elite school programmes we specify water-based hockey turf systems that deliver fast ball roll, predictable rebounds and outstanding player safety. We design water supply, run-off areas and shockpads to suit your site.
For budget-conscious schools and municipal facilities we design sand-dressed and sand-filled astro systems that support hockey, netball, football and general PE while remaining safe and durable.

The biggest cost drivers are usually in the ground.
When planning hockey pitch construction in South Africa, the base and drainage scope can make a major difference to budget and programme. Factors include access for plant, soil and groundwater conditions, stormwater discharge, shockpad requirements, and the chosen turf system. If you share your location and whether this is a new build or refurbishment, we can give a realistic budget range.

Quick answers to common hockey turf questions.
Costs depend on the size, base condition, drainage requirements, turf system (water-based or sand-dressed), lighting and fencing. As a broad guide, full-size hockey pitch construction can range from several million rand upward, but training D-fields and multi-sport courts can be delivered at lower budgets. We can give realistic ranges once we know your site and scope.
New hockey pitch construction typically takes several weeks to a few months depending on weather, baseworks and services. Resurfacing projects are usually shorter, often planned for off-season or exam windows to reduce disruption. We work backwards from your key hockey and academic dates.
A turnkey build usually includes earthworks, drainage, engineered base layers, shockpad (where specified), synthetic hockey turf installation and line marking. We also coordinate interfaces for fencing, goals, netting and lighting to deliver a complete, usable facility.
Water-based hockey turf is often selected for high-performance play where speed and consistency matter most. Sand-dressed systems can be a practical fit for schools and shared-use facilities with different maintenance and budget requirements. We recommend the best option after understanding your level of play, usage hours and operational constraints.
A full-size field hockey pitch is typically 91.4m x 55m, plus run-off areas around the playing surface. We confirm layout, run-offs and surrounding safety zones during design so the site works for players, officials and spectators.
Yes. We deliver hockey pitch construction and resurfacing nationwide. Many projects are in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, but we also support other provinces depending on scope and programme.
