We undertake a wide variety of projects from bowling greens, cricket and athletics to winter sports and racecourses, ranging from single pitch schemes to multi facility sports complexes.

MJ Abbott are experts in the construction of hybrid turf pitches, both for training ground and stadium pitch projects. We provide a turn-key solution for clients comprising cut and fill earthworks, drainage, irrigation, undersoil heating systems, installation of gravel raft and rootzone layers, cultivation and seeding or turfing, installation of the hybrid system and construction of synthetic pitch surrounds.

Sports turf drainage & irrigation systems
We have extensive experience in designing and installing drainage and irrigation systems for all sports turf applications.
We operate a substantial fleet of specialist drainage machinery, much of which has been manufactured or adapted by our engineers to achieve an efficient and clean installation in all types of ground conditions.
We install and maintain irrigation systems ranging from manual hose watering points to fully automated and computer-controlled pop up sprinkler systems which can be remotely controlled and supported to ensure maximum client confidence.
Artificial sports surfaces
Whether as part of a larger scheme or as a stand-alone project, MJ Abbott can offer all aspects of artificial pitch construction for hockey, football, rugby, athletics, indoor and outdoor tennis, or for multi-use games areas (MUGAs). We can assist in all aspects from planning and design through to construction and maintenance. We can also provide associated services such as floodlighting, fencing and hard & soft landscaping.
Maintenance & renovation of pitches
Following the construction of natural turf and artificial pitches, we offer a service to bring the facility into play and for on-going maintenance operations. Many of our staff have a groundsmanship or greenkeeping background to enable us to provide a fully experienced back-up service. We also offer a full renovation service for worn out pitches.
