Specialist Turf Treatments

Verti-Draining
We deliver verti-draining services using tractor operated machinery which can vary in depth with a unique system for setting the desired heave. This form of aeration can produce:

  • Major improvement on surface and sub-surface compaction
  • Deep drainage channels and fissures through the soil profile for water and air movement
  • Channels for roots to develop into, giving better resistance to drought
  • Variable tines to achieve your desired pattern and depth

 

Our verti-draining services are applicable for a range of sports surfaces, both finer turf areas – Golf Greens, Tees and Croquet Lawns – and coarser turfs – Cricket Outfields, Football and Rugby Pitches.

Alternative aerating machines are also available.

Scarification & Mowing with Debris Collection – all in one pass

We offer a highly effective scarification and mowing service using the new GHS Jumbo Groundkeeper. This machine collects all the debris at the same time making this a quick and tidy operation. The benefits of scarification include:

  • Improved surface water movement
  • Better disease resistance
  • Removal of spongy turf – giving better ball response
  • Less worm activity, due to the removal of thatchy material

The Jumbo Groundskeeper is ideal for use on large areas of turf, such as Football, Rugby and Hockey Pitches, Cricket Outfields, Golf Fairways and General Amenity Turf.

Overseeding

We can offer a variable seeding rate to suit your requirements using a number of machines which are suitable for the varied sites.

Bulky Top Dressing Application

We can achieve an even application of a variety of materials with our bulky Top dresser, which has a large capacity Hopper mounted on a conveyor belt base, which in turn feeds two spinning disks.
The topdressing can then be worked into the sward with either a drag mat, zigzag brushes, lute or leveling frame depending on your topdressing purpose.

The main reason for topdressing is to maintain and improve the evenness of the playing surface.

Please contact us for further details of any of our turf maintenance services.
