Vertidraining or deep tine spiking provides a longer term solution by aerating the soil below the surface, strengthening grass roots, relieving compaction and allowing deeper and more effective drainage.

We currently have ...

• X3 Charterhouse 2.5m
• X1 Wiedenmann XF 2m
• X1 Wiedenmann XF 1.6m
• X1 Terraspike Wiedenmann 1.6m

The Charterhouse machines can operate to a depth of 16 inches whereas the Wiedenmann machines can only reach 9 inches. The greater depth allows better root development but is more invasive whereas the Wiedenmann machines are quicker and can be used in drier conditions. They are ideal where early season aeration maintenance is required and also can be used during the playing season of some sports, such as football, hockey and rugby. Our wide range of machines means that we can tailor our machines to your specific requirements.

• Improves drought resistance
• Aids formation of better structured soil

USAGE: Golf fairways, greens and tees, racecourses, polo pitches, rugby, football and hockey pitches, cricket outfields and large amenity turf areas such as stately homes.
