Cricket Pitch Installation: Synthetic Turf & Fields
Australian summers are often spent watching cricket on TV, playing an innings in the backyard, and if you’re lucky, playing as part of your country’s, state or club’s teams. Our synthetic cricket pitches and field grass from Trinity Landscape & Sports enable your clubs, schools, and public facilities to get the look and feel of a traditional field, but with minimal maintenance and a consistently appealing aesthetic.
For an athlete, there is nothing better than playing on a perfectly balanced and well-maintained pitch. The game can be taken to the next level without divots and weeds tripping players up. Running across the field feels the same as a real lawn underfoot, with smooth and consistent centre pitches, without any lumps and bumps from dirt and other factors.
As a company in Sydney that believes in bringing the best and safest spaces to engage in sports, we have worked seamlessly to choose products that are up to standard and meet sporting codes. We use 100% Australian-made synthetic turf, rich in colour and strong in body. Our warranty for turf and our workmanship ensure you’re always covered for positive results.
Why Choose Synthetic Cricket Pitch Grass?
When you choose to work with Trinity Landscape & Sports, you can be confident our premium products will last for years, give the ball great bounce and speed, and we will deliver top-notch, world-class surfaces. We specialise in a range of sports surfaces for professional sports facilities, homes, school sports courts and fields, and community spaces.

A cricket pitch artificial turf is long-lasting and wears well. Whether used daily or subjected to harsh weather, it consistently holds up and better handles ongoing use than a regular lawn.
Types of Synthetic Cricket Pitches
Synthetic cricket pitches are designed to mimic the playing characteristics of natural grass pitches, offering a consistent and reliable surface for players. There are several types of synthetic cricket pitches available, each with their unique features and benefits:
- Fibrillated Pitches: These pitches feature a fibrillated surface, composed of individual fibers woven together to create a dense and even playing surface. Fibrillated pitches are renowned for their excellent ball bounce and spin characteristics, making them a favourite among spin bowlers and batsmen alike.
- Monofilament Pitches: Monofilament pitches are constructed from a single, continuous fibre that is woven into a dense and even surface. Known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear, these pitches provide a reliable playing area that can withstand the rigours of frequent use and harsh weather conditions.
- Hybrid Pitches: Combining the best of both fibrillated and monofilament pitches, hybrid pitches offer a surface that is both durable and provides excellent ball bounce and spin characteristics. This type of pitch is ideal for clubs and schools looking for a versatile and long-lasting playing surface.
- Sand-Dressed Pitches: Sand-dressed pitches feature a surface dressed in sand to provide a natural and even playing surface. These pitches are particularly known for their excellent drainage characteristics, making them a perfect choice for areas with high rainfall. The sand layer helps maintain a consistent bounce and reduces the risk of uneven bounce.
Artificial Cricket Pitch Grass for Practice Nets
We provide synthetic sports field turf for training wickets and outfields and practice nets, and batting cages. The highly durable nature of this popular product makes it ideal for the rigours of practising bowling and batting. Players can train with the same feel underfoot as when playing against teams during a formal match.

Installation of Synthetic Cricket Pitches
The installation of synthetic cricket pitches includes careful planning and execution to ensure a safe and even playing surface. Here are the general steps involved in installing a synthetic cricket pitch:
- Site Preparation: The first step involves clearing any debris and levelling the ground to ensure a smooth and even surface. Proper site preparation is crucial to avoid any future issues with the pitch’s stability and performance.
- Base Construction: A base layer of compacted aggregate material is laid down to provide a stable foundation for the pitch. This layer ensures that the pitch remains level and can handle the weight and movement of players.
- Pitch Installation: The synthetic pitch is installed on top of the base layer. It is crucial to ensure that the pitch is securely fastened and evenly laid to prevent any wrinkles or uneven areas that could affect play.
- Seaming and Edging: The pitch is seamed and edged to create a smooth and even surface. Proper seaming and edging are essential to maintain the pitch’s integrity and prevent any edges from lifting.
- Testing and Inspection: Finally, the pitch is tested and inspected to ensure it meets the required safety and playing standards. This step ensures the pitch is ready for use and provides a consistent playing experience.
Maintenance of Synthetic Cricket Pitches
Regular maintenance ensures that synthetic cricket pitches remain safe and even. Here are some tips for maintaining a synthetic cricket pitch:
- Regular Cleaning: The pitch should be regularly cleaned to remove any debris or dirt that may accumulate. This helps maintain the pitch’s appearance and prevents any potential damage.
- Brushing: Regular brushing helps maintain the pitch’s texture and prevents matting. Brushing also helps distribute the infill material evenly, ensuring a consistent playing surface.
- Watering: While synthetic pitches do not require watering, occasional watering can help keep the pitch clean and prevent dust from accumulating, especially in dry conditions.
- Inspection: Regular inspections are crucial to identify any damage or wear and tear. Early detection allows for prompt repairs, preventing minor issues from becoming major problems.
- Repairs: Any damage or wear and tear should be repaired promptly to maintain the pitch’s integrity and performance. Regular maintenance and timely repairs ensure the pitch remains in top condition throughout the cricket season.
Safety Features of Synthetic Cricket Pitches
Synthetic cricket pitches are designed with safety in mind, featuring several safety features that reduce the risk of injury to players. Here are some of the safety features of synthetic cricket pitches:
- Shock Absorption: Synthetic cricket pitches are designed to absorb shock, reducing the impact of falls and collisions. This feature helps protect players from injuries, especially during intense matches.
- Slip Resistance: The surface of synthetic cricket pitches provides excellent slip resistance, reducing the risk of slips and falls. This is particularly important in wet conditions, where natural grass pitches can become slippery.
- Even Surface: Synthetic cricket pitches provide an even surface, reducing the risk of tripping and falling. An even playing surface ensures that players can move confidently and safely across the pitch.
- No Uneven Bounce: One of the significant advantages of synthetic cricket pitches is their ability to provide a consistent and even bounce. This reduces the risk of injury from uneven bounce, which can be a common issue with natural pitches.
Synthetic Cricket Pitch Cost and Value
Synthetic cricket pitches offer excellent value for money, providing a safe and even playing surface that can be used for many years. Here are some factors to consider when evaluating the cost and value of a synthetic cricket pitch:
- Initial Cost: While the initial cost of a synthetic cricket pitch can be higher than that of a natural grass pitch, it offers a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs. This makes it a cost-effective investment in the long run.
- Maintenance Costs: Synthetic cricket pitches require significantly lower maintenance costs compared to natural grass pitches. They do not require watering, mowing, or fertilising, which translates to substantial savings over time.
- Lifespan: Synthetic cricket pitches are designed to last for many years, providing a long-term solution for cricket clubs and schools. Their durability ensures that they remain in excellent condition, even with frequent use.
- Performance: Synthetic cricket pitches provide excellent performance, offering a consistent and even bounce that is ideal for cricket. This consistency enhances the playing experience and allows players to perform at their best.
