Water management

Keep meetings on natural going.

Fineturf constructs, renovates, maintains and drains equestrian facilities and racecourses to British Horseracing Authority standards. Regular customers include The Jockey Club, trainers, studs, polo clubs and private clients. Site position, drainage structure and surface material decide the success of a build. Laser-guided machinery gives the precision needed for drainage and a safer riding surface.

  • Natural grass racetracks
  • Artificial all-weather racetracks
  • Manèges and gallops
  • Training rings and showjumping arenas
  • Polo fields

Better drainage helps venues avoid waterlogged courses and host more meetings, especially in winter, and helps racing stay on the natural surface for longer.

  • Primary and secondary drainage systems
  • Sand slitting
Irrigation and drainage

Regular and end-of-season maintenance keeps surfaces performing. Work may include fraize mowing, scarification, deep tine aeration, overseeding and top dressing. Ahead of the season or high-profile events we lay turf for instant presentation in showcase areas.

  • Parade ring and winners’ enclosure re-turfing
  • Track and jump levelling, re-profiling and renovation
  • Sand spreading and walkway remediation
  • Training rings and showjumping arenas
