Dead patches in summer may be the cause of Stem Weevil sucking the nutrients out of your grass. Call us to identify these pests – weevils range from 1ml – 3ml in size, hence tough to see. Controlled spraying can be done to eliminate this pest.
Professor Turf has its own pedestrian Coring Machine which is specifically designed for home lawns. Not only does this machine help aerate lawns it improves drainage therefore enabling more year round lawn usage.
Ever wondered why your lawn is so spongy, well you may have a dead layer of grass between soil & your actively growing grass. This layer is called thatch. Thatch causes a number of problems, some of them being poor drainage, restriction of fertilizer & water absorption into soil. Our Dethatching machine will remove around 17% of your current thatch layer per treatment.
Professor Turf has its own blend of fertilizer mix which comprises of Quick & Slow acting products. The application of this fertilizer is very important to ensure even coverage & no burn damage that’s why we use proven fertilizer spreaders for this.
Watch out for these grubs they love feeding on the root system of your grass, once damage occurs you can just roll up your dead grass like carpet – oh dear. Professor Turf will identify these pests & sort them out easily.
