Aeration & Coring — Our work

Before we get started.

What is the difference between coring and solid-tine aeration?

Coring removes plugs of soil and thatch. Solid tines make holes without removing plugs. We select the approach around the soil, surface condition and intended result.

When should we aerate a sports ground?

Timing depends on the grass, soil moisture, compaction and upcoming use. We agree the method and recovery window before scheduling the work.

Can you access smaller turf areas?

We use tractor-operated equipment for larger surfaces and pedestrian equipment for smaller areas. Share gate widths, gradients and access restrictions when requesting a quote.

How soon can the ground be used?

That depends on the method, ground conditions and intended use. We discuss surface disruption and recovery with you before confirming the scope.
