In Australia, winter pitch usage is the most critical, because it occurs during the period when grass growth is at its slowest and soil conditions are generally at their most fragile. Our traditional winter sports of Australian Rules football (AFL), soccer and rugby can cause major damage to natural turf playing surfaces. Concentrated and excessive use during winter results in significant damage to turf cover and often to the surface structure and levels. Such damage usually requires substantial funds to restore the surface and can cause significant disruption to use while repair works are undertaken.
