Groundskeepers have the essential job of maintaining outdoor spaces all year round. This work can involve taking care of a large lawn, looking after a sports field, or carrying out regular clean-up tasks. In this way, grounds maintenance teams strive to keep commercial and public spaces in top condition, creating space for sporting endeavours and other recreational activities.
Whether you’re responsible for the grounds of a private estate or a professional sports facility, it is essential that you have all the right tools to help you to complete your work to the highest possible standard.
In particular, you could benefit from using a specialist turf management tool, such as a Sarel roller, to keep your grass looking good. Read on to find out more about Sarel rollers, with a look at how this tool can improve your approach to grounds maintenance.
What is a Sarel Roller?
A Sarel roller is a specialist turf management tool that can be used to keep fine turf areas in top condition. The roller features sharp spikes that are designed to aerate the soil, where the roller unit is connected to an ergonomic handle for easy manoeuvring across grass areas.
Its ideal for Lawns, Bowling Greens, Golf Greens, Croquet Lawns, cricket wickets and natural grass tennis courts
The Benefits for Your Turf
There are numerous reasons to use a Sarel roller when looking after your turf. This specialist tool is designed to improve the health of your lawn, encouraging good growth so that your grass remains green and luscious all year round.
Some key lawn improvements to look out for include:
Better Water infiltration and Absorption
When it comes to lawn maintenance, it is essential to ensure that water is absorbed into the surface fully. Lingering surface water can cause waterlogging and may lead to diseased grass and excess surface damage. It is also essential that fertilisers, weedkillers
and chemicals etc are fully absorbed into the soil /roots so that the grass can benefit fully and do not wash off into nearby ponds and water courses.
With the help of a Sarel roller, you can also improve the effectiveness of irrigation, spiking the ground, will facilitate better water penetration and absorption, aid drainage and reduce water run-off and hence water bills!
Improved Root Growth
By improving drainage conditions, the Sarel roller will also help to boost healthy root growth across your lawn. Without healthy roots, your turf cannot thrive and grow, and will never achieve the lush perfect surface to which you aspire!
But when you focus on root growth, you can ensure that you’re laying the foundations for better grass conditions and hence growth, supporting your turf for the long term.
Enhanced Germination
If you’re seeding a new lawn or overseeding an existing one, it is essential to create optimal conditions for growth. Aerating the soil with a Sarel roller not only oxygenates the seed bed, but also the holes give ideal germination conditions and ensure that your grass seeds are getting the water they need to germinate quickly and successfully.
Minimal Surface Disruption
Using a Sarel roller is one of the most effective ways to improve the condition of your turf without causing significant damage or tearing of the surface. You will be able to aerate your roots and improve drainage, whilst maintaining a level surface and normally without interfering with the use of the surface for sports and other recreational activities, so it’s particularly handy to improve aeration of sports surfaces during the playing season.
