TECHNICAL SERVICES

As turf consultants we use the latest GPS technology so we can identify compaction, turf health, or soil moisture issues.

LED LIGHT RIGS

In Stadiums poor light quality can have a negative impact on turf health. Use of LED grow light technology means Stadium managers are able to produce a higher quality surface in low light situations.

VERTMAX PIGMENTS

Vertmax® is the premium range of turf pigments and colourants in the Australian market. These give an immediate colour response and are an economical alternative to overseeding warm-season turf.

WATER AND SOIL TESTING

We are able to offer a truly independent soil test analysis. With over 30 years experience in the turf industry this means that if you get testing done by us you can be sure we won’t be pushing our products but instead recommending what you actually need.

TURF SEED SELECTION

As sports turf consultants we constantly keep abreast in the latest in turf breeding. We have access to the latest plant genetics out of Europe and the USA and deal exclusively with many of the world’s best turf seed producers. Many of these varieties came top in the recent NTEP trials including Slugger 3GL and Piranha.

TURF FANS

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

TURF WETTING AGENTS

Surfactant technology is always improving and the Hydroforce® range has been independently trialled at some of the world’s foremost Universities. It always gives great results no matter what soil type or climate.

OMNE TURF SENSOR BOXES

These micro-footprint boxes weigh only 400g, can be mounted just about anywhere, and can carry up to 60 different sensor configurations, such as a weather station to soil and water monitoring to determining light levels.

TURF FERTILIZER

The key to healthy turfgrass is getting its nutrition right. So no matter if you are a golf course or sportsground manager or even a lawn owner we have the solution for you. With fertilizer costs skyrocketing make sure you get what your grass needs need and save yourself money.

TURF CHEMICALS

We supply a large range of turf chemicals for use on sportsgrounds and golf courses. With decades of experience we know the turf industry well and know the products you need. We have over 20 years of providing high-quality turf chemicals plus unparalleled technical support.
