GroundTech
Lincolnshire FA affiliated clubs can access a range of offers and services, including automated line marking services, delivering precise pitch dimensions to cm accuracy as part of our mowing and marking service.
GroundTech can also assist Lincolnshire FA clubs access funding which can cover up to 75% of the cost for the mowers, with the remaining 25% paid over a desired period of the club up to 3 years.
The seeds of the GroundTech business were first sown over 20 years ago, when they first branched into the grounds maintenance industry, and could see firsthand the labour and manual work that went into the management of lawns, turfs, pitches, and landscapes. From this, and as a result of the countless hours spent mowing, trimming, pruning and perfecting, they recognised a need for innovation in the outdoor management industry.
Whether you’re looking to streamline the management of sports turf or pitches, want to make groundskeeping easier for an estate team, manage your own football pitch, or simply want to maximise the efficiency of your grounds team. GroundTech has the solutions that are right for you.
