Our Process

One

Site Visit and Land Assessment: We walk your fields to understand usage, soil type, drainage issues, and the current condition of the land. We note specific areas of concern and agree on priorities.

Two

Soil Testing and Treatment Planning: Optional soil testing guides any necessary amendments. We’ll then recommend the right services – whether that’s a full reseed, light overseed, or mechanical care.

Three

Ground Preparation and Treatment: We carry out harrowing, rolling, topping, or aeration as required to prepare the ground and promote regrowth. We also deal with compaction or poor drainage spots.

Four

Seeding and Fertilising: Seeds are drilled, spread, or harrowed in, depending on method and conditions. Fertiliser is applied based on the plan, either organically or via commercial products.

 

Five

Aftercare Advice and Follow-Up: We advise on field rest, grazing rotation, or protection while new grass establishes. For larger estates, we can revisit at intervals to manage seasonal needs.
