Verti-Draining

Allows oxygen into the root system and to let surface water into the drains. Even if there is no existing drainage it will still decompact the soil structure and allow oxygen to the roots.

It also helps improve the soil structure and creates a quicker drying surface helping prevent surface water problems.

Overseeding

It is important to keep hard wearing playing surfaces maintained. Overseeding these areas in the closed season will ensure a green healthy sward at the beginning of the playing season.

Maintaining these bare patches stops weeds and keeps a healthy sword.

Sand application

Professional application of washed silica sports sands should be used on natural sports surface. Using the wrong sand can introduce more clay to the playing surface.

Adding the right sand will improve the soil size but needs to be put on with a spinner spreader and done on a continuous basis over a number of years.

We will supply a washed sports sand from a local quarry to keep haulage costs down. This will then be spread on with a spreader using tractors with sports turf tyres to avoid any damage to your playing area.

Fertilizer

Using the right nutrition will help with turf density and improve playing conditions.

Soil testing is important to make sure the correct fertilizer is applied.

Sand and gravel banding

This method is usually used over a primary pipe drainage system to speed up getting rid of surface water.

This can be done using open trench or trenchless technique. Using machines with turf tyres can get the job done with minimum damage to the surface.
