We can work together to formulate solutions to your specific issues. Our consultancy service is available to anyone who needs it; from elite stadia to local community grounds, sporting governing bodies, racetracks, golf courses and schools.

Sports field and golf course assessments

Our team can come to you and conduct a thorough assessment of your turf surface. We can run condition assessments, usage reviews, agronomic assessments and major audits to identify maintenance deficiencies and construction related issues.

Drone services

Our team of consultants can provide you with unbiased agronomic data but can also provide high quality maps through utilising the aerial precision of a drone. Our team has the relevant qualifications and certifications to pilot our Parrot drone to collect accurate aerial images of turf surfaces to produce videos, images, NDVI maps and Orthomosaic maps. This allows turf grass managers to utilise modern technology to be at the forefront of tackling issues as they arise and before they get out of hand.
