Grass Rolling

At Total Groundcare Services Ltd (TGS), we provide specialised grass rolling services essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your grasslands, sports fields, and lawns. Grass rolling is a crucial part of turf maintenance, helping to create a smooth, even surface that is both visually appealing and functional.

What is Grass Rolling?

Grass rolling involves using a heavy roller to flatten the ground, which helps to smooth out any uneven surfaces caused by animal hooves, machinery, or natural processes. This practice not only improves the appearance of the grass but also has several practical benefits.

Rolling helps to level out the uneven ground, including molehills, bumps, and depressions. This creates a safer and more even surface, which is particularly important for sports fields and areas used for recreational activities. The pressure applied by the roller compacts the soil slightly, which helps to firm up the surface, reducing the risk of damage from hooves or heavy machinery and preventing further soil displacement.

After seeding or reseeding, rolling ensures that the grass seeds have good contact with the soil. This improves seed germination rates and leads to a more uniform and dense grass cover. Rolling can also encourage the grass plants to spread and thicken by gently crushing the grass crowns, promoting the growth of new shoots and helping to create a dense, healthy sward.

Benefits of Grass Rolling with TGS

Grass rolling with TGS offers several benefits that enhance the quality and durability of your grass surfaces. Our team uses modern rolling equipment designed to provide optimal pressure without causing excessive compaction, ensuring the health and vitality of your grass.

By levelling out imperfections, rolling creates a smooth, even surface that is ideal for sports, recreational activities, and aesthetic purposes. This improves the safety and usability of the area, reducing the risk of trips and falls. Rolling helps to firm the soil surface, making it more resistant to damage from foot traffic, machinery, and weather conditions, increasing the longevity of your grass surfaces and reducing the need for frequent repairs.

Ensuring good seed-to-soil contact is crucial for successful grass establishment. Rolling after seeding improves germination rates and leads to a more consistent and robust grass cover. A firm, even surface helps to improve water infiltration and distribution, ensuring that water reaches the root zone more effectively, promoting healthier grass growth and reducing runoff and erosion.

Grass rolling is best carried out in the spring when the ground is moist but not waterlogged. This allows the roller to effectively level the surface without causing excessive soil compaction. Regular rolling as part of your turf maintenance routine can help maintain a healthy, attractive, and functional grass surface.
