Equestrian Facilities and Racecourses

Fineturf is highly experienced in the construction, renovation, maintenance and drainage of equestrian facilities and racecourses to British Horseracing Authority Standards. We provide a professional, efficient and flexible service. Our experienced management team, skilled operatives and fully-owned fleet of specialist machinery enable us to oversee all phases of a project, from design and site selection through to completion.

Working on a diverse range of projects, our regular equestrian customers include The Jockey Club - an operator of some of the country’s top racecourses, trainers, studs, polo clubs and private clients.
