During May 2011, we were contacted by a representative of KLASSIC, ( Kirton Lindsey Actively Supprting Sport In Community) to provide specification and costing details for the creation of a community sportsfield area.

The 10 acre site had been bought for the community some years previously, having established a car park area and roughly seeding a section of the main field for football, the project had not progressed any further due to lack of funding.

During Spring  2011 the KLASSIC project had now secured the required funding to take the project into its next phase ,levelling, stone burying and seeding the entire 8.5  Acres ( 34,000m² ) designated for football.

 O’Brien contractors  were subsequently contacted to survey the site and prepare a model & costings for levelling and earthworks once the entire areas had been sprayed, ploughed and power harrowed to create a “blank canvass”.

O’Brien contractors were appointed to undertake the earthworks and laser levelling early June 2011. Links Turf Layers  started work on site  12^th June.

Localised levelling, stone burying and seeding works were completed on 28 June 2011.

First cut was made on  29 July 2011 just over 4 weeks later. This was followed  by a fertiliser application, selective herbicide treatment and grass cutting visits ( cut & collect) every 7 to 10 days.
