Welcome to the John G Duff website

To be successful working on sports ground complexes, golf courses, landscape construction and grounds maintenance a company has to have the skill of being able to blend the environment with the latest technology. John G Duff has over 50 years experience of working with nature and the elements together with the benefits of specialised technical equipment to make the best of the client's investment whilst being in harmony with the surroundings.

Our philosophy has always been to produce a quality end result whether it is a man-made surface, a good natural grass turf, or a sand textured soil with optimum drainage.

In contemporary sport in the 21st century there is increased demand and greater expectations which mean playing surfaces have to be maintained at a higher level. It is absolutely vital to avoid costly renovation through neglect.

We take pride in the quality of our work, our friendly and efficient service and pioneering new methods of sports turf construction, drainage and renovation. Our projects have received many awards whilst gaining us a reputation for setting the standards for the industry.

John G Duff is now part of Horta Soils Limited. Horta Soils provide a wide range of services for its customers and is constantly striving for improvement. Plant hire is a key element of the company and should they choose to do so, customers can leave the entire renovation process in the hands of Horta. Not only do we provide the necessary equipment, we have the expertise to carry out the whole process. Whether you want soils supplied or your pitch needs verti-drained, direct seeded, sprayed, fertilised or whatever, we can offer the complete package.
