We only work on sport surfaces.
Desert Turfcare is a specialist sports turf company rather than a general landscaper. The people here spend their working lives on pitches, tracks and outfields, and nothing else.
Our story
It started with one pitch in the UAE.
Founded in 2004 to build and maintain turf that could stand up to competitive sport in a desert climate.
Our early work was local, learned on real UAE playing surfaces. Since then we have grown to more than 200 specialists across construction, agronomy, irrigation and daily maintenance.
That growth came from clients coming back, not from marketing. Today we deliver projects across the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as part of Desert Group, which has been active in the region since 1988 across landscape design and construction, golf course development and plant nurseries.
Surfaces either hold up on match day, or they do not.
