Frequently Asked Questions

The secrets of the camp.

What's behind the iconic checkered pattern on professional sports fields?

Here are some key figures:

  • Football pitch dimensions: 105 x 68 m
  • Cutting height: 22 mm (±5 mm depending on the season and grass species)
  • Direction: the stripes run parallel to the width of the pitch, perpendicular to the touchlines

The chequerboard design is the result of absolute precision: daily mowing, a team of 2–4 operators with walk-behind or triple mowers covering up to 12 km per session. The ‘squares’ result from the reflection of light on the blades bent in opposite directions:

  • Blades bent away = lighter stripe
  • Blades bent towards = darker stripe
Fertilisation, soil health, roller weight and mowing frequency are key factors. It’s precision work that turns every pitch into a visual spectacle.

Thanks to the use of cutting-edge maintenance technologies, such as SGL’s UVC 180 system, which uses calibrated UVC rays to reduce fungal diseases without the use of chemicals.

Every intervention is based on environmental and agronomic data. Science guides the maintenance of sports turf, maximising performance and sustainability.

On a football pitch, the quality of the turf is not just a matter of aesthetics: it’s about sporting performance and safety. And it all starts with a precisely engineered irrigation system.

Here’s what makes the difference

Uniform distribution (DU and CU coefficients consistently above 85%)

Irrigation times and cycles optimised according to soil texture, aspect and seasonality

High-efficiency nozzles and smart controllers to manage water consumption and weather conditions

Independent zones to adapt to the pitch’s varying needs (centre, flanks, corner areas).

A well-designed system reduces water stress, improves the turf’s resilience and optimises playability even during the most critical periods. The result: a uniform surface, controlled drainage and fewer interventions. Irrigation is an agronomic strategy, not an optional extra.
