Desert Turfcare
The Gulf's pioneer in sports turf management. Since 2004 we have been constructing and maintaining world-class turf surfaces for international tournaments, professional clubs, and landmark venues across the UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
With over 100 sports turf projects delivered and more than 1,000,000 m² of turf under active maintenance, we bring the same agronomic standards applied at FIFA World Cups and AFC Asian Cups to every client we serve — whether a national stadium, a hotel resort, or a school sports facility.
Surfaces We Manage
