OVERVIEW
Tuff Group installs synthetic cricket pitches and wickets across Australian schools, councils, and clubs from junior practice strips through to competition-standard centre wickets installed as part of major multi-sport facility builds.
Our capability covers new wicket construction and full resurfacing across synthetic turf practice wickets and training nets, centre wickets for oval and multi-sport fields, and complete cricket precincts combining wicket tables, run-up areas, and surrounding synthetic turf. We also deliver cricket wickets as part of broader facility builds alongside football ovals, athletics tracks, and hard courts.
Where many providers supply the surface only, Tuff Group's in-house teams manage the full scope; site assessment, base preparation, surface installation, and line marking.

PRODUCTS
Polypropylene and polyethylene synthetic grass systems designed for consistent bounce, reliable pace, and all-weather availability. Suitable for school practice facilities, club training nets, and batting cages. Available in standard widths with full net structure installation if required.
Competition-standard synthetic wickets installed as the centrepiece of oval and multi-sport fields. Engineered for the correct speed, bounce, and surface response required at club and competition level. Tuff Group matches surface specifications to the intended level of play.
Full wicket table builds incorporating multiple side-by-side synthetic strips across a prepared base; the standard format for clubs wanting to run multiple games or training sessions simultaneously. Designed for high-frequency use and long-term durability.
Synthetic turf for bowlers' run-ups and the areas surrounding wickets and nets, removing the worn, muddy patches that close natural grass run-ups through winter and after rain.
Full resurfacing of worn synthetic wickets. We assess the existing base first, rectify levels and drainage where needed, then install the new surface so the replacement performs as well as a new build.
Synthetic cricket wickets integrated into broader facility builds alongside football ovals, athletics tracks, and hard courts. Tuff Group's in-house capability across all three surface types means cricket is delivered to the same standard as every other component of the project.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Practice wickets and training nets in school settings need to withstand daily use across PE programs, lunchtime play, and school carnivals. Tuff Group delivers school cricket surfaces built for heavy use, with correct bounce characteristics for junior and senior players. Installed during school holidays. Minimal disruption.
Club-level facilities require surfaces that perform consistently across a full season and hold up to the demands of regular competition. Tuff Group installs centre wickets and wicket tables for clubs at all levels, from junior community cricket through to senior competition.
Council cricket facilities serve multiple clubs, community programs, and casual users. Tuff Group builds council cricket surfaces to withstand heavy all-weather use, with design and documentation to support procurement processes, grant applications, and compliance reporting.
Our project documentation supports grant applications, council tender submissions, and compliance reporting.
