Soil remediation | microbial inoculation | non wetting sands | soil problems

For turf grass to thrive, soil problems need to be rectified. Sub optimal soil conditions (soil problems) for plant growth include:

1. Non-wetting hydrophobic sands
2. Very low organic matter (OM) content
3. Excessive OM content (root thatch)
4. Lawn grub | pathogen spore
5. Low water holding capacity
6. Low soil structure
7. Low microbial activity for mineralization
8. Deficiency in macro and trace elements
9. Waterlogging | poor drainage
10. Compaction | poor aeration
11. Weed seed contamination
12. Builders/painters works contamination
13. Excessive soil pH
14. Gravel and concrete
15. Sodic or saline conditions
16. Lack of topsoil
17. Moss and algae growth

We have a range of machinery, remediation products and strategies to treat soil problems once identified. If required, we simply bring in clean topsoil and re-level and lightly roll to establish good growing conditions for plant growth.
