Aeration  

We have a range of machinery using different methods to help relive compaction and aerate soil. The Wiedenmann XP6 has the ability to spike with 25mm tines up to 350mm deep . The Terra Spike or Verti-Drain vertical aerators can use solid or hollow tines to take out cores, reducing organic matter. We offer a range of slitters for fast, minimal impact aeration. Alternatively, there is also our latest machine the Verti-Quake, this linear aerator decompacts the soil using a set of rotating steel blades. As these blades cut cleanly through the soil, they create a wave action that shatters compacted areas and opens up the subsoil.

Aeration can have the following benefits:

• Enhanced soil water uptake.

• Improved fertilizer uptake and use.

• Reduced water runoff and puddling.

• Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.

• Stronger, deeper turfgrass roots.

• Reduced soil compaction.

• Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.

• Improved resiliency and cushioning.

• Enhanced thatch breakdown.
