Match Pitch Installation

Here at Durant Cricket, we are setting a new standard for cricket match pitches across the UK. Our pitches are designed to handle all types of weather, ensuring that all-season play is not just possible, but practical, so you can focus what really matters to you, your game.

Our match pitches are designed so everybody can make use of them, catering to both junior and senior players. Our pitches provide an excellent place for practicing your skills and developing as a cricketer, with even playing ground that’s functional and low maintenance.

Beneath the surface, our match pitches containa porous aggregate base, that ensures water is drained from the pitch effectively, preventing waterlogging, and maintaining optimal playing conditions. On top, a premium tufted surface is laid over a shockpad, offering durability and standing up to the demands of regular play.

Our Match pitches are designed to deliver high-quality performance every time you play. Whether you’re honing your skills or competing in matches, our pitches are engineered to support peak performance and durability.

What Are Match Pitches?

Match pitches are high-quality cricket surfaces designed for competitive play. They can be made from either synthetic materials or natural turf, with a focus on durability and consistent performance. Unlike standard practice pitches or casual playing areas, match pitches are crafted to meet the highest standards of performance and durability for serious cricket matches.

Our state-of-the-art cricket pitches use synthetic grass instead of natural turf, offering a modern twist on traditional play. Known as synthetic or astro turf pitches, these surfaces transform the game with their advanced design. The synthetic grass is crafted with precision, using either tufted or woven fibers that mimic indoor carpets. This ‘cricket carpet’ provides a smooth, durable playing surface, ensuring consistent performance. Underneath the surface, a carefully designed system supports the pitch. This includes layers like the base and sub-base, padding, and porous materials, all working together to deliver exceptional performance comparable to natural grass.

At Durant Cricket, we don’t just build pitches; we create spaces where cricketers can grow their skills and feel confident doing so. Discover a pitch that’s more than just a surface—it’s a foundation for your cricketing aspirations.
