TECHNICAL SERVICES

As independent Sydney based sports turf consultants we carry out sports turf assessments using the latest GPS technology to produce the best possible sports turf surfaces.

TURF LIGHT RIGS

Shade has a negative impact on turf health. So with the use of LED grow light technology means turf managers are able to produce a higher quality surface in shade situations.

TURF PIGMENTS AND COLORANTS

Vertmax® and Vertmax Duo® are the premium turf pigments and colourants on the Australian market. These give an immediate natural green colouration.

WATER AND SOIL TESTING

We offer independent soil and water testing.

GRASS SEED SELECTION

As sports turf consultants we access the latest plant genetics out of Europe and the USA. We deal with many of the world’s best turf seed producers. 

TURF FANS

Good air movement results in good turf health. If you do not have this, then turf will struggle and decline in quality. Turf fans guarantee good air movement all the year round no matter where they are in use.

SOIL WETTING AGENTS

Soil surfactant technology is always improving and our range has been independently trialled at some of the world’s foremost Universities. 

OMNE TURF SENSOR BOXES

Omne Turf sensors offer an all-in-one micro weather station and monitoring system. Weighing only 400g, they carry up to 60 different sensor configurations. Realtime monitoring of your climate, light levels, soil and water. 

TURF FERTILIZER

Nutrition is the key to healthy turfgrass. 

TURF CHEMICALS

We supply a large range of turf chemicals for all your needs as turf managers.
