How do you look after a 3G pitch?

How much does it cost to build a 3G football pitch? The average cost for a brand new, full sized, 3G artificial grass pitch (AGP) for football is around £600,000 . However, overall, artificial football pitches can cost anywhere between £300,000 and £900,000 depending on a number of factors.

Currently we have 4,853 3G rubber crumb pitches. Simply scaled up, these contain 97,060,000 waste tyres ground into 582,360 tonnes of crumb and dust, and virgin plastic equivalent of 6,794,200,000 plastic bags.

As with any artificial surface, combining daily and weekly in-house routines with specialist, deep-cleaning works is the key to a successful 3G pitch maintenance programme. Drag brushing should be carried out at least weekly, to maintain a consistent distribution of rubber infill and raise the carpet pile.
