| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses maintenance of artificial playing surfaces, explaining that "location will have a significant impact on the surface and its maintenance, especially if there are trees alongside the pitch." Suggests that "drag brushing is fundamental...to achieve even distribution of the infill and redress high wear areas such as goalmouths." Explains that specialist treatments "help with surface longevity and include repairs and remedials, power spraying, chemical treatments, revitalisation [revitalization] of the surface and line marking." Concludes that "planning and budgeting for a maintenance programme [program] is essential, as this ensures peak pitch performance." |
