Turf Management & Services
LCS is a member of the Australian Sports Turf Managers Association, Australia’s peak industry body for Sports Turf Management.
Fertilising
Green, healthy lawns or sports fields cannot be achieved without the right nutrition.
Using correct cultural practices and good nutrition can transform any turf area.
We soil tests to develop tailor made granular or liquid fertiliser programs to improve the health, colour and performance of your surface.

Hollow/solid tine aeration
Hollow tine aeration allows oxygen, water and nutrients to more freely penetrate the soil and root system of the plant. This is achieved by running a tractor mounted aerator over the surface. If a profile is particularly poor or if the main problem is a soil compaction issue, solid tinning may be suggested.

Scarifying
A major issue with many turf areas is the build-up of a thatch layer. This layer can hinder cutting heights and can inhibit the standard of sports turf affecting both playability and safety. The build-up of thatch can also disrupt the flow of nutrients into the ground and can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases. Thatch can be removed through the process of scarification.

Top dressing
Top dressing is an extremely useful tool in the preparation of Sports turf fields and lawns. The process can be performed after hollow tine aeration to replace the removed profile and would ideally be performed heavily in the spring and at lighter rates through summer and autumn to aid in thatch reduction and provide a smooth and even surface.

Instant Turf
For a fast and effective approach, consider instant turf. Our turf teams can prepare the area by bringing in the correct soil and applying any aggregates required. Turf can be laid by hand, or for larger areas using maxi rolls laid mechanically.
