Sports Turf Aeration
Sports Turf Aeration in Guildford, High Wycombe, Watford and across South England
Are you looking for a reputable sports ground contractor to keep your playing surface in optimal condition? Whether you’re new to sports ground maintenance or you’ve had previous plans in place, there are vital services that help maintain and improve pitch performance. Chief among these is sports turf aeration. This method plays a key role in creating healthier, stronger pitches with the resilience to withstand the demands of any sport.
Based in Flackwell Heath, outside of High Wycombe, Turf Tonics Ltd undertakes aeration services on a local and regional basis. Closer to home, this includes Oxford, Reading, Guildford, Watford and all surrounding areas. Further afield, we cover locations across the South of England, including Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Northamptonshire and Surrey, to name a few.
What’s Turf Aeration?
Put simply, the aeration process involves using innovative machinery with built-in spikes to penetrate the soil profile. This creates new macro pore spaces which alleviate the compacted layers that form during a long season.
There are numerous aeration techniques, all of which apply to differing needs. Like any reputable sports ground contractor, we use a range of options to ease the initial compaction and then prevent the creation of pan layers. This can happen if you rely on one aeration method at the same depth for too long.
No matter which sports turf aeration method we recommend, the aim remains the same: ventilate the soil, improve drainage and promote better root development.
