Turf Care
Fertiliser Treatments/ Moss Control
- Correct nutritional input is important to keep your turf in a healthy condition and help it recover from play.
- Moss that thrives in wet/moist conditions can need treating if it starts taking over.
Autumn Renovation Programme
Scarifying
- Removing and managing thatch that's accumulated during the growing season.
- Thatch is the dead layer of material that accumulates at the base of the turf.
- If left unchecked it can build up and not only effect the health of the turf but lessen the quality of play.
- Ideal time for scarifying is early spring or autumn.
- After an intense playing season your turf is likely to need some renovation work.
Aeration
Top Dressing
- Regular top dressings help promote a good playing surface and address health issues.
- By opening the playing surface up by spiking or slitting we are promoting air exchange, Co2 leaves the rootzone and is replaced by O2.
- The operation is important as the roots of the plant don't grow in the soil but in the air pores that surround the soil.
- A good root system is key to a good playing surface.
- Aeration has the added benefit of helping with surface drainage.
Overseeding
- Ideally helps to keep the turf nice and thick.
- The introduction of the latest cultivars have other benefits also, they can hold there colour better are less susceptible to drought and can be disease resistant.
Holo Tyne
- The operation refers to soil exchange.
- The coring removes a plug of soil/turf from the ground and is then replaced by top dressing.
Drainage
- If your surface is poor to drain, we can analyse and make recommendations.
