Fertiliser Application

At Total Groundcare Services Ltd (TGS), we offer specialised fertiliser application services to ensure the health and vitality of your grasslands, sports fields, and lawns. Proper fertilisation is a crucial component of turf maintenance, providing essential nutrients that promote robust growth, improve soil health, and enhance the overall appearance of your green spaces.

What is Fertiliser Application?

Fertiliser application involves the careful distribution of nutrient-rich substances onto your grass surfaces to supply the essential elements needed for plant growth. The main nutrients in fertilisers are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), often referred to as NPK. These nutrients play vital roles in various plant processes:

• Nitrogen: Promotes lush, green growth and is crucial for photosynthesis.
• Phosphorus: Supports root development and energy transfer within the plant.
• Potassium: Enhances disease resistance, water regulation, and overall plant health.

The type and amount of fertiliser applied depend on the specific needs of your grass and soil, which can vary based on factors such as soil type, grass species, and environmental conditions.

Benefits of Fertiliser Application with TGS

Fertiliser application with TGS offers several significant benefits that contribute to the overall health and beauty of your turf. Our team uses precise application techniques to ensure even distribution and optimal nutrient absorption.

Applying the right fertiliser ensures that your grass receives the essential nutrients it needs for vigorous growth. This results in a dense, green sward that is visually appealing and can withstand heavy use. Regular fertilisation also improves the health of your soil by replenishing depleted nutrients and enhancing soil structure, which promotes better water infiltration and root growth.

By providing the necessary nutrients, fertilisation strengthens your grass, making it more resistant to diseases, pests, and environmental stresses such as drought or heavy foot traffic. A well-fertilised lawn or sports field not only looks better but also performs better, providing a safe and enjoyable surface for recreational activities.

Fertiliser application can also aid in weed control. Healthy, dense grass can outcompete weeds for resources, reducing the need for chemical herbicides. Additionally, some fertilisers contain pre-emergent herbicides that prevent weed seeds from germinating.

At TGS, our fertiliser application services are tailored to the specific needs of your property. We conduct soil tests to determine the nutrient content and pH level of your soil, allowing us to create a customised fertilisation plan that addresses any deficiencies and promotes optimal growth.
