SPORTS GROUND CONSTRUCTION 
The need for more sports grounds and playing 
fields is becoming greater than ever, and can only 
adequately be met by expert planners with competent 
and keen foremen to supervise construction work. In 
this branch of our activities we provide a practical 
service based on the experience of many years. We 
can furnish comprehensive reports on sites, undertake 
complete surveys, carry out soil analyses, and prepare 
plans with detailed specifications and estimates of cost 
for sports grounds ‘of all sizes. Our trained staff is 
fully capable of dealing with intricate levelling prob- 
lems, drainage schemes, the fertilising and improve- 
ment of surface soils, turfing, and the sowing of 
specially prepared mixtures of grass seeds to meet all 
circumstances. 
We construct bowling greens and hard tennis courts 
to the most modern specifications and our new methods 
are designed to simplify maintenance. 
The Sutton ‘ Master’ Hard Tennis Court, intro- 
duced by us over a quarter of a century ago, has 
proved one of the most successful courts in existence 
and is being continuously put down for Schools, 
Colleges, Corporations and private customers. The 
special character of the surface is such that daily 
watering and rolling are quite unnecessary and the 
Sutton ‘ Master’ Court will remain firm and playable 
for long periods without such attention. Annual 
top-dressings are eliminated, no dust is caused in 
play and the court can be used almost immediately 
after rain ceases. These are only a few of the 
outstanding characteristics which make it suitable for 
universal use. 
We also undertake the construction of lawns for 
games such as tennis, croquet and putting, or grass paths, 
glades and terraces. Our staff of trained foremen can 
attend to every detail of the work.
