Optimising the health and performance of your open spaces

A technical approach to turf management

Delivering safe, durable, and high-performance turf

Maintaining sports fields, parks, and large open spaces requires a specialised, scientific approach that goes far beyond simple mowing. These high-traffic areas are significant assets that demand expert care to ensure their safety, performance, and longevity. Our field and open spaces maintenance service provides a full suite of technical turf management solutions designed to keep your grounds in peak condition.

Our capabilities include core services essential for turf vitality. We conduct programmed turf aeration to alleviate soil compaction, improve drainage, and promote robust root growth. Our targeted fertilising and broadleaf spraying programs ensure the turf has the required nutrients while remaining free of weeds. For enhanced durability and a level playing surface, we offer sand top dressing services. To complete the service, we provide precise, clear line marking for all major sports codes, ensuring your fields are always ready for play.

Frequently asked questions about our technical turf services

When is the optimal time for services like aeration and top dressing?

The ideal timing depends on the type of turf and its usage cycle. Generally, aeration is most effective during the active growing seasons of spring and autumn. We will work with you to create an annual maintenance calendar that schedules these key interventions at the most opportune times to minimise disruption and maximise results.

How do you manage chemical applications like fertilising and spraying?

All applications are carried out by trained and certified staff in strict accordance with health and safety regulations. We prioritise safety and can schedule applications during off-peak hours or school holidays to ensure the area is safe for public use. We provide clear documentation and communication before any chemical application takes place.

Can you create a maintenance plan based on our specific budget?

Yes. We understand that our clients, from schools to councils, operate within defined budgets. We can conduct a full site assessment and develop a prioritised annual maintenance plan that delivers the most critical services within your financial framework.

Do you provide line marking for multiple sports codes on a single field?

Absolutely. We are experienced in providing accurate and durable line marking for a wide variety of sports, including rugby, soccer, and athletics. We can manage the setup for different winter and summer codes as required.
