Turf Repairs

Turf can be repaired using a range of methods, including:
• Re-turfing using either normal depth cut turf or more specialist deep turf.
• Restitching small areas of reinforced turf patches, using a special long needle and twine or thread of synthetic grass.
• Overseeding of thin areas, or a reseed of a prepared seed bed.
• A forking and top-dressing (with or without overseeding).
• Divot repair using top-dressing with or without seed premixed into it, especially on a golf tee/fairway or rugby or football pitch.
• A light forking up of compressed, rutted turf areas, or divoted areas from poorly delivered bowls.
• Cleaning out damaged cricket batting end by forking, and keying in new loam, firming and tamping down strongly.
• Using a golf ball pitch mark repairer to restore indentations / divots from balls landing on softer greens.
• Replacing damaged areas with turf plugs ¯ either circular or rectangular / square in shape, using specialist turf cutters.
