Management applies to thing that we cannot directly control. We can control the type and health of our soil, the amount of air and water in our soil, the type of grass that we grow and the nutrition we give it, however there are many factors that influence the health of the grass beyond these controllable factors. External factors such as wear, amount of sunlight, wind movement, rainfall and many other things all come into the realm of Management. Below are some common problems that affect Sports Fields and some clever tools to aid in correcting these problems.
Dead grass and worn areas
On athletic fields, there is a huge amount of wear confined to a very small area, whether it is soccer goal mouths, football field centers or baseball diamonds the result is the same. Turf-Tec has been making the Tubular Turf Plugger for this very reason.
The Tubular Turf Plugger has a hollow handle that removes twenty 2 3/8 inch by 2 1/2 inch deep grass plugs out of a good area and then the plugs are simply put into the empty holes of a worn area. The plugs are small enough that they cause the grass to rapidly expand into the areas until the whole section of dead grass is filled in.
This unit is heavy gauge welded steel with a replaceable heat treated cutter blade.

Sprinkler Heads
Sprinkler head maintenance is sometimes low on the priority list, however when a drought approaches, it is often brought to the forefront and becomes the difference between a successful operation and on that is not. Turf-Tec offers three different ways to be sure your irrigation system is being maintained properly. Two different trimming techniques, one manual and the other motor powered. In addition, we have a cable locator to find lost valves or broken wires.
