Many are convinced that leveling and rolling the surface with a heavy vehicle is sufficient to avoid future settlements but if the soil is not worked well until it reaches complete and homogeneous settlement, the depressions will appear with the first rains.
In natural grass football fields it is necessary to work with the tempered soil to obtain a homogeneous settlement and maintain its biophysical properties. Working excessively wet soil often compromises the subsequent growth of the lawn due to excessive compaction of the soil which reduces porosity. In some cases the soil aggregates dissolve, forming a mush, destroying the so-called "soil structure" and requiring many years before it becomes as fertile as it was originally. But even when it is excessively dry, therefore too dry, it is not good because it pulverizes, disintegrating its structure. The dust deposited on the surface does not allow regular settling and even if it gets wet it closes the porosity on the surface.
Leveling is an operation that must be repeated continuously until the surface is completely settled using a blade towed by the tractor under continuous laser control.
The slope of the ground must be uniform along the entire work surface without risking large depressions and water stagnation, even if small, otherwise it is possible that the water will worsen that small depression over time.
Bevel the slope change areas for at least 5 metres, to connect the pitches well to each other. Pay attention in the corners and in general the connection up to the boundaries of the field, especially in the areas of the water collection wells and/or towards the channels.
