It may be sunny and hot now, but remember your games which were called off because of waterlogging!

The narrowing ‘close season’ in football presents a challenge to all sportsturf managers and groundscare personnel. The resultant effects of the harsh winter followed by a dry spring have combined to create surface management problems ahead of next season. Compaction continues to be a major problem which we can help to assuage.

Our ‘close season’ remedial techniques include the Deep Drill machine which is ideal where drainage is good but an improved root growth profile is required. This de-compaction equipment drills to a depth of 10“ and can be used where undersoil heating pipes exist, without damage to the underground system.

The legendary Terralift will penetrate to a depth of one metre and is ideal for goalmouths, centre circle and touchlines, where much ‘warming-up’ takes place. It is also the ideal machine to prevent future waterlogging because of its ‘one metre’ potential.
