Scoil Mhuire

Take A Look At Our Work

Scoil Mhuire has a brand-new pitch, and it’s made a huge difference to the school grounds. The yard that was once plain has been given a full artificial grass surface, and now it looks and feels like a proper sports area. The pitch itself is finished in fresh green grass, with clear white line markings built in. These give the space structure and make it easy to set up for football, drills or PE lessons. It’s simple but effective - the lines give shape without taking away the freedom of open play. What makes this installation stand out is the bold blue border that runs around the pitch. The contrast between the deep blue edge and the bright green centre is striking. It frames the surface beautifully and adds character to what could have been just another yard. Pupils notice it straight away. The border makes the pitch pop, and it gives the school grounds a more polished, finished look.

The change is about more than appearances. Pupils now have a consistent, safe surface underfoot, ready to use all year round. They can run, pass, or play full matches without worrying about worn ground or makeshift markings. Break times are livelier, and PE lessons start quicker because the pitch is always set up and waiting. Teachers benefit too. The artificial grass is low-maintenance, neat and durable. It holds up under constant use, looks sharp in every season, and requires very little attention to keep in top shape. It means less time spent managing the space and more time enjoying how it’s being used. This project shows how even a single design detail, like the blue border, can change the atmosphere of a pitch. At Scoil Mhuire, the contrast of green and blue has turned an ordinary yard into a sports space that is practical, striking and full of life.
