John Alexander - Chief Executive Officer, Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand

“We undertook extensive research into a great number of turf systems worldwide. At the end of the day we believed the Motz System best met our needs for Rugby and Cricket and also allowed us to use the stadium for events other than sport. The surface stability, the excellent drainage featuresand the ease of turf replacement to combat shade were the key features of the Motz system that appealed to us.

One of the key factors in constructing a new field system is having the right contractor. We again researched such firms and in our view HG Turf stood apart from many others. Their professional management of our project resulted in not only the project running ahead of schedule but within budget and provided us with a quality turf system.”

Danny Harley - Chief Executive, Stadiums Authority, Canberra Stadium

The Motz Stabilized Turf System was installed at Canberra Stadium (then Bruce) in September 2000 just prior to the Olympic Games. During the intervening period we have hitherto replaced less than two square metres of turf during the course of normal football related wear and tear.

This is an outstanding result given the Stadium holds up to 100 training and event related day’s usage each year.

Jim Brown - Venue Manager, Olympic Stadium, Sydney 2000

“I would like to congratulate you and your staff for contributing to what was clearly the most successful Olympic Stadium in History.

Your grass system proved to be exactly the system we required… one of my proudest moments was being able to open the gates on the first day of Athletics and enjoy the expressions of amazement of arriving spectators as they saw our pristine arena and playing field.

The faces proved to me that we met the challenge of providing a perfect Stadium in the few days we were given. Great job and many thanks.”

Peter Morris - General Manager, Olympic Football, 2000

“I would like to formally record SOCOG’s sincere appreciation and thanks for the superb job HG Turf did in returfing Bruce Stadium, Canberra for the Olympic football competition.

At the time of approaching yourselves after the turf laid by others had proven to be unsatisfactory, SOCOG was deeply concerned the competition may have needed to be played elsewhere… you carried out the task precisely as you said you would and the pitch was in superb condition when competition commenced on schedule.

Not only that, it continued to present excellently over the full program of eleven matches in just under two weeks. Once again, thank you to you and your team on a wonderful job and superb product.”

Kevin Neil - Chief Executive Officer, Canberra Raiders

“…The Motz stabilised turf has proved to be very successful at Bruce Stadium and in particular has handled the cold and harsh climates of Canberra, as well as the added pressure of having three football codes utilize the one ground.”

Ian Collins - Chief Executive Officer, Telstra Dome

“…We now have an entirely new turf system in place, which enables greater flexibility and reduction in timing when replacing the surface and we expect a major improvement in turf performance.

Of course, we are restricted by conditions evolving from the unique design of the Stadium, but we have on site excellence in HG Turf, our turf management company. This is a great step forward.”

Kevin Mitchell - Ground Manager, Brisbane Cricket Ground (The Gabba)

"...The Motz Stabilised Turf System allowed us the flexibility of partial turf establishment off site and instant playability.

The Motz Stabilised Turf System was our insurance policy against the civil works taking longer due to possible weather restrictions, and it worked a treat."
