About Pitchcare

Pitchcare was set up in 2001 as a free and independent website to pass on information in an educative way.

The information that we publish is designed to help everybody involved in grass care. We provide a complete and unique service so that members of the site can see and understand working operations, and also be able to purchase products, equipment and machinery from our online shop and through our industry partners at discount prices.

We help to raise the awareness and profile of our industry by showing practical solutions. Pitchcare involves many clubs and professionals in the provision of information and analysis of market innovations.

Our promise is that everybody enjoys a better understanding of grass care.

Our MD, Dave Saltman, is a former professional Head Groundsman who has overseen the maintenance of The Millennium Stadium, Molineux (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and Northampton Town FC.

The company is very active in promoting groundsmen and greenkeepers, and we work closely with a number of sports governing bodies to improve sports turf standards and enhance the standing of those people working in the industry.
