Lawn Aeration
We have invested into the latest technology in fine turf care, the Groundsman 460SDR is a top of the range pedestrian aerating machine. This deep aerating machine relieves soil compaction and improves water percolation through the soil profile, it will also enable air, water and nutrients to access the all important root zone and create an environment essential for healthy grass growth.

We have a range of tines available to suit your requirements whether it be solid tinning for minimal surface disruption or hollow core removal to help alleviate soil compaction.

Lawn Scarifying

Our Graden scarifier / linear aerator is a heavy duty commercial machine that boast a very powerful 13Hp engine and can work to depths of 45mm (most domestic and hire machines work to 3 – 5mm). The Graden will easily remove organic matter, moss and sub-surface thatch to allow your lawn to breath. If your lawn has a spongey feel, it will almost definitely  benefit from the  Graden’s mechanical action.

Golf Courses

The Groundsman 460SDR is a perfect machine for micro-tinning on a regular basis. There is very little disruption to the green's surface, allowing golfers to continue right after the aeration process. Many club's will hollow core at the end of the playing season to alleviate soil compaction as shown in the photo.

Bowling Greens

The Groundsman 460SDR is the perfect machine to compliment the fine playing surface that a Bowling green will have. As with golf greens, the micro-tines can be used throughout the playing season with minimal disruption. Many will hollow core at the end of the playing season to help alleviate soil compaction.

Cricket Squares

The Groundsman 460SDR is the perfect machine to carry out solid tine aeration too the square in November, December and January. The process will help alleviate compaction caused by the season's heavy rolling - this will also allow air & water into the root zone and will aid winter drainage.

Football Pitches

Winter drainage is essential to keep games on - the pedestrian Groundsman 460SDR can perform on soft pitches due to it's light weight. The 6 inch, 16mm solid tines spaced at every 3 inches provide perfect vertical drainage holes to allow water to percolate down through the soil profile, meaning less games called off due to a water logged pitch.  

End of season hollow coring would help alleviate compacted area's. The holes could be utilised for over seeding where required. The cores could then be drag matted in to act as a top dress.
