Mexteds Sports Turf

Decompaction and Aeration

Download Product Sheet
Mexteds offers a range of decompaction and aeration options to promote strong, healthy turf that resists stress, improves the uptake of fertiliser and requires less frequent watering. 

When we talk to you about your project, we will consider the soil type, ground conditions and usage in order to recommend the best solution.


Rotary decompaction

Rotary decompaction is very effective at shattering a hard pan, allowing water to move through the soil and encouraging better root depth.

It gives a very even ‘heave’ and the lack of soil disturbance ensures rocks and stones are not
brought to the surface.

Rotary decompaction is Mexteds’ first choice for pre-season decompaction of high performance and natural sports playing surfaces, as well as golf courses and race courses.

Our TreMor220 rotary decompactor implement cuts at 260mm centres and a depth of 280mm, covering 1.8 metres per pass.

Impact decompaction

Mexteds offers verti-draining as an alternative to rotary decompaction, using either hollow coring or solid tines.  Both allow oxygen into the root system to promote turf health, and help water percolate into the subsoil drains.

An advantage of verti-draining is that it can be done during the season while sports fixtures continue, including through the winter months.

During hollow coring the tines enter and exit the ground cleanly and vertically, while solid tines are used to provide maximum compaction-busting, as the tines ‘kick back’ in the ground to shatter the pan and introduce air.

The set-up for kick back, heave and appropriate depth is critical to achieving optimum results. Our vertidrainer implement cuts to a variable depth up to to 150mm covering 1.8 metres per pass.

Vibrating deep subsoil (or subsurface) decompaction

This is the best decompaction solution when establishing or reconstructing a playing surface where heavy earthmoving equipment has been used.

Vibrating subsoil decompaction is an ideal solution for restoring soil quality. Used for primary decompaction, the vibrating single or twin tines break the hard pan to a substantial depth.

The Ditch Witch single tine decompactor can achieve variable depths between 300mm and 800mm.
