The machines can be hired on a half day or full day rate including operator. Should you have a specific need Turfcare & Hire can quote you on the entire job.
 
Spray Truck
 This is a state of the art spray unit that is fitted with direct chemical injection. This means that the chemical is not pre-mixed into the tank, it only comes into contact with water at the spray nozzle. This allows us to change chemicals from one job to the next without any wastage and allows us to be more specific in our control of turf diseases.
 
Vertidrain
 For compaction relief using solid tynes, Verti draining stimulates root growth, provides aeration, greatly improves drainage and allows immediate access of fertiliser to the root zone. Using 12mm diameter tynes, aeration of the turf surface along with penetration to a depth of 180mm provides for excellent root aeration and water penetration of the surface subgrade. Fertilising soon after verti-draining will allow for the fertiliser to get to the grass roots for fast stimulation of plant growth.
 
Top Maker
 This machine is used to de-thatch the playing surface in preparation to stimulate new growth. This is an important process at renovation time. The waste grass is removed from the surface and the surface is then ready for top dressing and fertilising in order to rejuvenate healthy grass growth. The top maker can be adjusted to different penetration depths to suit the turf surface.
 
Aerovating
 Aeration is a critical factor in maintaining healthy turf. This machine is perfect for releasing compacted soils, a tyne penetration of 75mm prior to fertilising or watering will ensure best results and greatly assist root development including water absorption, nutrients and chemicals.
 
Power Harrow
 Used at time of reconstruction to initially breakup that hard pan layer of soil in preparation to follow up by rotary hoeing for preparation to seeding.
 
Rotary Hoeing
 At time of reconstruction rotary hoeing further breaks down any thatch into organic matter and prepare the seed bed for planting.
 
Laser Levelling
 In the final chapter in preparation prior to planting, this machine ensures the surface levels conform to the required specified contours necessary to complement the surface shape of the oval.
 
Power Box Rake
 This machine is ideal to prepare the surface prior to laying turf or seeding. The surface is worked to a depth of around 20mm which can be simply adjusted to suit the need. The rake can be angled to remove debris, rocks etc leaving them in a windrow for removal, will level the surface and speed the drying of moist areas. Ideal for grading, level, rake and remove debris, pulverize and prepare seedbed, dethatch or remove lawns and weeds.........all in one process.
 
Water Truck
 There are times when additional moisture is required during construction or turf or landscape areas.  We can provide this via our 12,000 litre tanker.
