Backyard Cricket Pitch

If you have a stretch of open space in your backyard, it might just be the perfect spot for a cricket pitch where players of all ages and abilities can hone their skills. This beloved sport is an ideal way to spend time with the kids and can provide hours of fun for the whole family.

There are various types of cricket pitches that you can construct in your backyard, from the classic turf option to the more modern synthetic pitch. Each option features its unique properties and capabilities based on the construction materials used, the level of play it caters to, and the maintenance costs involved.

To help you choose the ideal backyard cricket pitch for your home, we’ll discuss the three most popular pitches and the types of players they are best suited to.

Club Cricket Pitch

The Turf Cricket Pitch

The most obvious mention here is the ‘real’ cricket pitch. Turf pitches are most suitable for professional stadiums and high-level club play where there are dedicated groundskeeping teams and the necessary resources to maintain the pitch.

They are ideal in environments where the quality of the playing surface can significantly impact the outcome of the match and where the investment in maintenance is justified by the level of play and the audience’s expectations.

However, for homeowners looking to play a few overs with the kids, turf cricket pitches may not be the best option. The high level of maintenance required to keep a turf pitch in good condition can be overwhelming and costly. Without daily upkeep, including mowing, brushing, rolling, and watering, a turf pitch can quickly deteriorate, leading to cracks and uneven playing conditions that make the pitch unusable.

As a result, we recommend looking into more affordable, low-maintenance options for your backyard.

 

The Synthetic Cricket Pitch

One particularly popular option for many households is the synthetic cricket pitch, which makes a great alternative to the classic turf pitch. These pitches are constructed using a concrete base with a special backyard cricket pitch mat on top.

When it comes to synthetic cricket pitch installation, the base must be cast as a single concrete slab that needs to be completely level and true in all directions. Where limitations prevent a single slab from being poured, two slabs can be used and interlocked in the middle to prevent slipping or settling.

As well as using a cricket pitch mat, you can also use suitable artificial grass on the top of the pitch. This gives the pitch an authentic turf look and makes it an affordable, versatile option that is ideal for large backyards and schools.

 

The Club Cricket Pitch

The third option involves a gravel substrate that is then covered by a layer of loam and finished by laying a proper cricket mat on top before play. If preferred, the loam can also usually be replaced with another suitable material, such as stone dust.

This type of pitch produces good variance for bowlers, but it does require some routine maintenance to prevent pitting. The versatility, easy set-up and highly realistic ball performance that this type of pitch offers make it an excellent option for clubs.

How Much Space Do I Need for a Pitch?

A standard cricket pitch measures 20.12 metres from stump to stump, with a little extra room behind the wickets to make room for the bowler approach area and the return crease. However, a backyard cricket pitch can be made to almost any size that you’re comfortable playing on, with most measuring anywhere between 10 to 30 metres in length.

How Can I Customise My Cricket Pitch?

As well as having the option to customise the size of your backyard cricket pitch, you can customise the colour and the lines on the synthetic surface as well. If you’d like to turn your pitch into a multipurpose sporting area, just let our team know! We’ll ensure the appropriate markings are incorporated onto the surface of your cricket pitch before completion.
