Founded in 1997, Soft Surfaces has delivered expert surface installations for over 25 years. In this episode of UK Business Spotlight, we walk through the complete process of building a 3G artificial grass pitch from excavation to final line markings. If you are a school, sports club, or local authority considering a 3G facility, this episode gives you the full picture.\n\nThird-generation artificial grass is the gold standard for multi-use sports surfaces.
