Mexteds Sports Turf

Golf at The Morgans

21/8/2020

Mexteds has been working on something a little different in the last couple of weeks, building a new 9th green at The Morgans Golf Retreat in Pauatahanui, in an area that used to be rough swampland.

After surveying the area and designing the new green, Chris Parkinson and Brent Dornan created a new access road to the site, then dug out the swamp, cleaned out a swale drain and put in novacoil drainage and geotextile.

Using our Fendt and Scoop we excavated 800 cu m of fill, reshaping one of the fairways, and used the won material to create and shape the new green.

Next, we’ll be installing drainage and plowing in an irrigation line, before topping the new green with sand, ready for sowing.

Greg Kirkwood, The Morgans Golf Retreat project manager, says the team from Mexteds, including Jamayne, Marcus, Rob and Jules, have done an excellent job. “Chris is a brilliant operator and really knows his stuff. It’s such a happy, positive team, they have been brilliant to work with.”
​
The Morgans Golf Retreat hopes to have the new green ready for play in mid to late summer.

Looking after Hutt City's sports fields

14/8/2020

You'll be seeing a lot more of Mexteds around the Hutt Valley from next month, as we've just won the contract to maintain all of Hutt City Council's parks and playing fields.

It's an exciting time for Mexteds, and will see a doubling of our workforce to mow and prepare Hutt's sports fields for different sporting codes from softball and soccer through to cricket and hockey. 

As well  as natural turf, we'll also be looking after Hutt City's artificial sports surfaces.

We'll be working with local schools to give young people  work experience opportunities, and are actively recruiting for a range of roles including grounds persons and mowing crew, through to a contract administrator and operations supervisor.  See our Employment page.

The Hutt is familiar territory for Mexteds.  Over the last 20 years we've undertaken seasonal sports turf renovations (fertilising and decompaction), built top quality playing fields such as Hutt Rec, and upgraded sports facilities with the installation of drainage and irrigation.

We're thrilled to be taking this next step to keep Hutt City's parks and playing fields in tip top condition.
