Vegetation management across artificial pitches and training facilities has become increasingly challenging with the rise of 3G surfaces. Traditional chemical treatments pose significant risks to surrounding turfed areas, while manual or mechanical methods often deliver inconsistent results and require frequent applications. Foamstream provides a transformative alternative, its long-lasting, highly effective treatments, combined with an eco-friendly nature, have made it the solution of choice for many leading sports facilities worldwide.
In recent years, more clubs and facilities have been exploring herbicide-free weed control and we’re now partnered with 14 major clubs worldwide, 7 of which are in the Premier League. So if you’re watching a home game from any of the following teams, you’re looking at a pitch that is maintained with Foamstream.
“It’s probably one of only a handful of innovations that have come along and really changed the market.” - Darren Baldwin, who maintains Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
Here are some more reasons to use Foamstream in sports facilities:
- Multi-functional units give the option to pressure-wash, power-wash, clean, sanitise and weed areas, and are perfect for treating pitches and pathways at low pressure and sanitising equipment and clean hard surfaces at high pressure.
- Compared with hand-weeding, less applications are needed meaning there are less labour costs. It even prevents weed regrowth for up to 12 months.
- Over a five-year period, Foamstream delivers results and costs comparable to herbicides, with none of the associated risks.
Our L12 is a great machine for ground maintenance as it’s multifunctional. It can be used for weed and moss control on the pitch and training grounds as well as cleaning signs and goalposts, all without damaging the environment.
Case study: DB Premier Solutions
With more than two decades of experience under his belt maintaining the world-leading sports surfaces at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, Darren Baldwin said he rarely gets excited about new machinery – but that changed upon his discovery of Foamstream.
“In the Premier League, sustainability is at the forefront of what we do. However, our pursuit of solutions that are more environmentally-friendly cannot be to the detriment of effectiveness or surface quality. Foamstream first dropped onto my radar when I saw it in action at another Premier League Club. We then hired a unit at Tottenham and I was sold. I liked the versatility of it and could see it had real mileage – it’s probably one of only a handful of innovations that have come along and really changed the market.”
Our innovative machines have helped countless stadiums, sports facilities and playing fields to keep everything from spectator areas and pathways to turf and equipment looking immaculate all year round.
