What a hockey pitch construction brief should include.
A strong hockey pitch construction brief starts with the intended level of play, the user group, the site dimensions and the expected weekly hours. A school pitch used for physical education, junior training and after-hours club hire has different demands from a private practice zone or a high-performance club facility. SynGrass can help buyers structure the first discussion so the product, base and installation route are not treated as separate afterthoughts.
For a synthetic hockey pitch, the most important early questions are surface type, base stability, drainage capacity, shock pad requirement and water strategy. Water-based hockey turf can create fast play and consistent ball roll when the pitch has suitable irrigation and maintenance. Sand-dressed hockey turf and sand-filled hockey pitch options may suit different budgets and maintenance patterns. Dry hockey turf may be discussed where water use is a key concern. The right answer depends on the complete system.
SynGrass 15mm Wet Hockey product context.
SynGrass 15mm Wet Hockey is the known hockey surface in the current product data. Pricing is quoted after pitch requirements. The supplied specification is density 350 per meter, Dtex 6500, pile height 15mm, color 2 Tone, UV Guarantee Yes 8 years and infill needed water based. Those facts give a useful starting point for hockey turf conversations, especially when a school or club needs an astro hockey field discussion rather than a garden grass quote.
FIH hockey turf and formal performance wording must be handled carefully. Certification or performance recognition is not created by a product name alone. It depends on the complete installed field or system: base, drainage, shock pad, turf, joins, irrigation or water-based requirements, installation quality, maintenance and accredited field testing. SynGrass can assist with FIH-style considerations and practical options without implying that turf-only supply is certified.
System choices
Water-based, sand-dressed, sand-filled and dry hockey turf planning.
Every hockey pitch construction project should compare the surface, base and long-term operating cost before placing an order.
Water-based hockey turf
Water-based hockey turf is often discussed for fast ball speed, smooth stick work and consistent ball roll. It requires a water plan, irrigation thinking, maintenance discipline and attention to player use intensity. When buyers ask for this route, SynGrass will need dimensions, target performance, available water, installation timing and whether the site is a full-size pitch, school pitch, club pitch or custom training zone.
Sand-dressed or sand-filled pitch
Sand-dressed hockey pitch and sand-filled hockey pitch options can be relevant where the budget, maintenance capacity and level of play point away from a water-based system. The brief should cover ball roll, surface speed, expected use, player age, shock pad, drainage, base condition and the amount of infill management that the owner can realistically maintain.
Dry hockey turf and training zones
Dry hockey turf or multi-sport style areas may be considered for training, schools, skill zones or custom facilities where full water-based performance is not the objective. SynGrass can supply any size pitch, including full-size fields, half fields, practice D areas, club training zones and custom school spaces where the brief is clear.
Base, drainage, shock pad and installation checks.
Before any synthetic hockey pitch construction starts, the site needs to be assessed for levels, existing base, drainage outlets, water movement, compaction, edge restraints, access for rolls, delivery access, machinery route and finished height. Many disappointing pitches fail because the base, drainage or edge detailing was under-planned. A hockey field surface is thin relative to the civil works below it, so small mistakes in levels and drainage can affect ball roll, puddling and user confidence.
The shock pad discussion is also important. A shock pad can affect player comfort, impact response and performance. It must be compatible with the turf and the intended system. Where a school or club wants an FIH-style direction, the complete system needs to be designed and tested as a field. SynGrass can assist with supply conversations and guide the buyer toward a more complete brief for contractors, engineers and installers.

Hockey pitch construction questions.
Use these answers to prepare a more accurate enquiry before contacting SynGrass.
Can SynGrass supply turf for a full-size hockey pitch?
Yes. SynGrass can discuss any size pitch, including full-size hockey fields, school pitches, club pitches, training areas and custom zones. The final quote depends on dimensions, product route, delivery, base and system requirements.
Can SynGrass help with school hockey field planning?
Yes. Schools can send intended use, learner age groups, sport calendar, maintenance capacity, current surface, photos and budget direction. That information helps separate a serious synthetic hockey pitch from a simple multi-use turf area.
What makes hockey turf different from landscape grass?
Hockey turf is designed around ball roll, stick interaction, speed, foot response, pile height, density, infill or water behavior and the complete base system. Landscape grass is not a substitute for a proper hockey surface.
Do water-based pitches need irrigation?
Water-based hockey turf requires a water strategy. The irrigation or wetting approach affects speed, ball behavior, consistency, safety expectations and maintenance. Provide water availability details when requesting a quote.
Is the shock pad always required?
The shock pad requirement depends on performance targets, existing base, surface route and the complete system design. It should be assessed before final product and installation decisions are made.
How should I start the quote process?
WhatsApp Thys Smit with dimensions, location, photos, use case, surface preference, current base and timing. You can also call +27 82 338 7622 or email info@artificialgrass.africa.
