Maintaining a professional football pitch requires precision, consistency, and efficiency.
That’s where robotic technology comes in. Our advanced robotic mowers for football pitches and football pitch line marker robots are designed to streamline turf management and line marking, ensuring your pitch is always in top condition.
At GroundTech, we understand the challenges of football pitch maintenance. Heavy footfall, frequent matches, and unpredictable weather can make keeping grass quality high and markings clear difficult. Our autonomous solutions provide a reliable, cost-effective way to manage these tasks with minimal manual effort.
For all large-scale robotic solutions, visit our Commercial Robot Mowers page to explore additional options.
Our football pitch mowers use GPS-guided technology to deliver consistent, precise cuts around the clock. Unlike traditional football pitch maintenance equipment, robotic mowers do not require fuel, lowering costs and reducing environmental impact while keeping your turf healthy.
Accurate football pitch line marking is crucial for fair play and professional presentation. Our football pitch marking robots ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency, removing the hassle of manual marking.
We believe that robotic technology should be accessible at all levels of the game. That’s why we partner with the Football Foundation, which offers grants to clubs and organizations investing in football pitch maintenance.
Investing in a robotic mower for your football pitch offers long-term savings and improved turf quality. The cost of a robotic mower depends on the size of the pitch:
To make this investment more affordable, GroundTech supports clubs in securing funding through the Football Foundation using the Pitch Power app. Eligible clubs can receive up to 75% funding, significantly reducing upfront costs.
The remaining 25% can be spread over three years, making budgeting easier. For example, a £20,000 robotic mower would require a monthly direct debit payment of approximately £150.
Additionally, there is an installation fee of £600-£1,000 per mower, depending on site-specific requirements.

Traditional mowing can place stress on turf due to inconsistent cutting patterns and heavy machinery. Robotic mowers provide a lightweight, continuous-cutting solution, improving turf health, reducing compaction, and preventing bald patches. By cutting little and often, they maintain optimal grass height and density, leading to a stronger, healthier playing surface.
Robotic football pitch line marking systems use GPS-guided precision to create straight, regulation-standard lines without human error. This ensures clear, consistent markings every time, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups and making pitch preparation faster and more efficient.
These systems rely on AI, GPS, and automation to deliver highly precise, fully autonomous performance. Robotic mowers navigate the pitch with pinpoint accuracy, adjusting their patterns based on turf conditions, while line marking robots calculate and apply markings according to professional regulations. All functions can be controlled via a user-friendly app for remote scheduling and monitoring.
Yes. Robotic mowers eliminate fuel costs, reduce manual labor requirements, and operate with minimal servicing. This results in significant cost savings over time, making them a smart investment for clubs looking to cut operational expenses while improving pitch quality.
Robotic mowers and line markers can be programmed to work around match schedules, ensuring no disruptions. With remote scheduling via an app, groundskeepers can adjust mowing times, monitor progress, and oversee maintenance without manual intervention—allowing for 24/7 pitch care with minimal effort.
Yes, many professional and grassroots clubs have adopted robotic technology for football pitch maintenance. The results include improved pitch consistency, reduced workload for grounds staff, and significant cost savings over time. These solutions are becoming increasingly popular across training grounds, schools, and stadiums.

Yes. Unlike petrol-driven mowers, robotic solutions produce zero emissions, use less energy, and return fine grass clippings to the turf as a natural fertilizer. This reduces the need for chemical treatments and contributes to more sustainable pitch maintenance.
The industry is moving towards fully autonomous solutions. Future advancements may include AI-driven irrigation, real-time turf health monitoring, and even more precise robotic maintenance. Clubs investing in robotic technology today will be ahead of the curve in maintaining world-class pitches with minimal effort.

We are lucky enough to be having a demo and trial of this little fella! Supplied by GroundTech, he’s going to be cutting the grass while we can get on with other grounds work. This might be one of the newest recruits!

I am very happy with my Kress robotic mower. It obviously saves man hours cutting the grass but also because it is cutting every day there are no clippings left behind and the grass is improving as well. The mower will operate over 24 hours but I’ve currently got it set for 12 hours during the day as that is what works for us, there is also a rain delay setting if required.

The automowers have come into their own over the last few months, saving us around 30-40 hours per week which has helped us focus on the improving other areas of the golf course that we previously couldn’t. We will be looking to add to our fleet in the coming months.

The quality of the cut and no arisings being left on the field at any time has led to positive feedback from all users of our main field. Any maintenance on the machines has been carried out efficiently. Very impressive all round and we are looking to secure funding to roll these out across the trust
