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.
