Fieldtop Maker
The Fieldtopmaker is a heavy-duty mower, for removing unwanted surface matter such as thatch, weeds or the entire surface to a depth of 50mm. A side arm conveyor removes debris directly into a trailer, leaving a level, even surface. The Fieldtopmaker is designed for sports turf applications like Soccer, Rugby and Cricket Wickets, etc
Aeration
Aeration involves penetrating the soil. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction with small holes to allow air, water and nutrient into the soil for the uptake in the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more heather turf.
Dethatching
Thatch is a layer of lay of both living and dead organic material which lies in between the grass and the soil, which is essential to protect your lawn from wear and damage. It becomes problematic when this layer becomes too dense and begins to affect your lawn’s health and recovery.
Due to the restriction of water, air and nutrients your grass will have to root in the thatch layer itself. This will cause your lawn to become vulnerable to drought.
For further details, please call 1300 228 873 and discuss the benefits of Dethatching.
Topdressing
Top dressing is done to correct poor preparation and lack of soil underneath or to fill in low spots and correct uneven areas in the lawn.
Topdressing brings many benefits to a lawn including helping to reduce the build up of dead grass clippings and stems, known as ‘thatch’. It helps to increase nutrient retention, improves drainage and increases disease and pest resistance.

Laser Services
When constructing an oval or playing field the levels for the finished product are vital, we recommend Laser grading which uses precision instruments to move the soil around so slopes and direction are exact, giving the best possible finish. This process also works well on Top dressing sports ovals for level playing surfaces.

Soil Testing and Amelioration
Soil testing is fundamental to understanding your soil and gives a detailed analysis to form the basis for specific soil fertility and/or amelioration required to correct physical or chemical soil imbalances.
A soil test will allow us to find the nutritional balances of your soil and provide a report on what your soil requires to perform at its required level.

Tractor or Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a process which utilises a mixture of seed and mulch often including ingredients such as fertiliser, tackifying agents, dye and other additives.
The mixture is then sprayed over the prepared ground using a powerful truck mounted pump which has the capability of spraying over large areas. For those more difficult to each areas, a retractable hose can be used
Hydroseeding is widely used in the re-vegetation of disturbed areas within the civil engineering, mining and land development industries, especially on slopes where there is a significant risk of erosion occurring during the period of initial plant establishment.
