Following a cricket season it is essential to renovate and repair a worn wicket. Fineturf provide the following services:

  • Graden - deep scarification for root pruning and lateral growth. Also leaves grooves for new seed to be sown into for quick establishment.
  • Loam application - Loam is spread evenly using a lightweight tractor and Sisis spreader.
  • Seed application - Seed is applied using a gandy drop spreader in multiple directions to ensure an even distribution.
  • Drag Matting / Luting - loam and seed are dragged evenly to ensure final levels are true.
