Wicket blocks
When it comes to  cricket, you can count on Mexteds. We have years of experience in building, maintaining and renovating cricket wickets and outfields.

We regularly work at high profile venues such as the Basin Reserve and Sky Stadium for their spring renovation programmes and turf replacement needs.  With no job too big or small, we also work with schools and local councils to upgrade facilities for cricketers at all levels of the game.
Construction and redevelopment

Mexteds undertook the total redevelopment of the Hagley Oval, ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.  A major project, these pictures tell the story of how we carried out the work.

This redevelopment continues to deliver top results, with Hagley Park being named 'International Pitch of the Year' four times in the last five years by New Zealand Cricket.

Clay supplies

Mexteds is able to supply processed Patumahoe clay, which we regularly supply to councils and schools. To request clay and secure your supply for the next season, please use our Wicket Clay Request Form. On receipt we will contact you to discuss your requirements,  delivery details and price. 
Design service

Using specialised surveying equipment, we are able to offer a full cricket wicket design service. 

We also use laser technology in our Fendt tractors during the  construction phase to achieve the optimum playing surface.
Renovation services

Mexteds undertakes a full range of wicket renovation services to meet client needs.

Cut-downs efficiently remove contaminated turf, with the use of our a purpose-built planer and loading elevator.

Pre-season thatch removal, scarifying, sweeping and roto-grooving is carried out prior to renovating and re-sowing.
