Deep aeration

Green Aeration

Deep Aeration

Work started on the 8th August. This work has now been completed, the holes will stay open until we hollow core scarify and top dress week commencing 15/08/2016. 

This work is important for the long-term benefit of the greens.

Deep aeration will improve surface drainage, relieve compaction, and generate good gas exchange allowing for greater stress tolerance of the turf. It also stimulates beneficial bacteria within the soil profile and helps release locked up nutrients, improving colour and growth, all these factors are important in producing top quality playing surfaces.

We believe in minimal disturbance therefore we have been using 10mm solid tines going down to a depth of 210mm then rolled with the true turf roller.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
