NGU NottsBase

The unique NGU NottsBase System offers a more consistent performance than aggregate-based pitches. It also provides a narrower range of playing characteristics in relation to bounce and pace, making it an ideal pitch for encouraging player confidence during coaching or matches.

Because the NGU NottsBase system uses synthetic rather than natural performance control layers below the surface, less maintenance is needed during the life of the pitch. If your ground requirements change in future, the NGU NottsBase pitch can also be relocated at minimal cost.


NGU envelope

The NGU Envelope System incorporates a low-maintenance base system designed to imitate the best playing characteristics of a well-maintained natural turf pitch.

A specialised cricket aggregate is encapsulated in a porous film to guard against contamination, maintaining its performance throughout its life. The system is fully porous and, therefore, gives a changeable performance similar to a natural cricket square and reacts to climatic conditions accordingly. This grants you the option of self-managing performance through rolling and watering the surface to customise the pitch to a specific requirement.


NottsGrass Ultra

Combining the NottsGrass Ultra top surface with our proven non-turf cricket systems combines the best of traditional system technology with new surface and fibre advances, and sets new parameters for how a cricket surface and system performs.

Creating consistent performance is at the heart of all our research and development for cricket systems and NottsGrass Ultra has been developed to maintain performance at all times. This ensures that coaches and players are confident that ball to surface interaction will be as consistent as possible resulting in better teaching, coaching and playing experiences.

Independent laboratory test results show that the NottsGrass Ultra fibre maintains critical performance characteristics for longer when compared to previous NottsGrass surface technology. This significant development will provide coaches, players and customers with improved playing performance over a much longer period of time which, in turn, creates more realistic and consistent performance throughout the life of your cricket facility.

By creating this advantage, life costs will also reduce because performance is maximised for longer, meaning resurfacing and remediation works will be required with less frequency maximising your strategic investments in cricket facilities.

With Lord’s Cricket Ground and leading Independent Schools already choosing NottsGrass Ultra for their cricket facilities, we are keen to invite you to meet with our cricket design specialists to discuss how NottsGrass Ultra can provide your School with state of the art cricket technology.
