Killeen Sports Grounds – we make the old sod new

We know how important your sports ground is to you.
It’s more than a patch of ground – it’s where you, and all who come after you, will enjoy life’s memorable moments.

From the wide-eyed 10 year-old, eager to impress, to the never-say-die veteran who still does it for the love of it. From the anxious parent to the ambitious mentor.

Your sports ground means so much to so many people.

That’s why it needs tender, loving care. At Killeen Sports Grounds, we give it just that treatment. We believe in pampering your pitch – as sportspeople ourselves, we know the thrill of stepping out onto a lush sod, hoping this will be the day every chip goes where it should, every punt punches a hole, and every long clearance reaches friendly hands.

A Killeen Ground – a joy to play on

Killeen Sports Grounds – we genuinely care. We don’t believe in short-cuts when it comes to your favourite patch of ground.

Killeen Sports Grounds is owned and operated by Peter Killeen, a member of a well-known Claremorris, Co. Mayo, agricultural and business family.

A keen sportsman, Peter is a member of Claremorris Golf Club. He has built up a reputation for maintaining sports grounds to an extremely high quality.

Peter has a wealth of sports ground maintenance experience. He works closely with leading Agronomists, and also stays on top of the latest innovations in terms of machinery, fertilisation, and soil.

We offer a complete sports ground maintenance package. We encourage you to get an independent, expert opinion – we can recommend an Agronomist who will draw up a full plan for your ground.
Once this is in place, you can rely on us to carry out, as appropriate:
-       Reseeding
-       Top-dressing
-       Verti-draining
-       Overseeding
-       Spraying & Fertilisation
-       Resodding work (goalmouths, tee-boxes, etc)

We believe in having the best machinery that’s available. This produces a better job, and shortens your ground’s ‘down time’.

We also have advanced knowledge of the many supplementary Ground Care products on the market, and are happy to advise you about what best suits your needs. We can also arrange for site visits and demonstrations from representatives of the various Ground Care product companies.

If there’s one man in Ireland qualified to know a good sports ground, it’s John Hayes.

The Bull has been at the top of his profession for years – and that profession involves spending Saturday after Saturday at the bottom of rucks.

When The Bull gives a pitch the thumbs-up, it is no whimsical endorsement. And when he approves of the work of a grounds maintenance company, it’s time to feel chuffed.

We’re chuffed. “I am very familiar with the work of Killeen Sports Grounds, and the most thing that impresses me is the passion they have for getting it right,” he says.

“They take great care to produce a pitch that acts almost like a magnet, pulling people out to play on it. With that attention to detail, it doesn’t surprise me that Peter and the lads have been contracted to look after so many pitches all over Ireland.”

He added: “For a front row forward, having a nice surface is very important – we pass so much of our time with our heads stuck in that very surface!”
