Compacted soil restricts the flow of air, water, and nutrients to the turf’s root system, which can result in weaker grass and a less vibrant playing surface. Aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper, promoting healthier root systems and improving overall turf resilience.

Coring, or hollow coring, is a more intensive process that involves removing plugs of soil to reduce compaction and create channels for new grass to grow. Both aeration and coring are essential for maintaining the quality and durability of turf, especially in high-traffic areas such as greens, fairways, and sports fields.

Maredo offers a range of specialized equipment to assist turf managers in executing aeration and coring processes, ensuring optimal turf health and performance across golf courses and sports fields.

The GT 230 Core Dethatcher plays a crucial role in the aeration process by removing thatch and organic debris from the turf surface. This advanced machine effectively prepares the turf for deeper aeration and coring, allowing for better air, water, and nutrient penetration. By reducing the layer of thatch, it enhances root growth and improves overall turf health.

The GT 410 Vibe Spike Overseeder, while primarily designed for overseeding, also excels in shallow spiking, a form of aeration that creates small holes in the turf without removing soil cores. This method enhances air and water movement into the soil, fostering healthier root development. Additionally, shallow spiking minimizes surface disruption, making it ideal for use during busy seasons when the turf needs to remain in peak playing condition.
