Croquet Lawn Maintenance and Nutrition

I advise and supply croquet clubs across the UK totalling about 100 croquet lawns. My service includes advice and guidance on all aspects of croquet lawn maintenance and irrigation including the specification and supply of tailor-made fertilisers irrigation systems and turf care machinery; spreaders, spikers, mowers and sprayers. 
​My programmes are designed to take the hard work out of lawn maintenance by using soil biology and bacteria to do the job for you. This means that there is no scarifying or verticutting unless in grooming mode.  
This is why most of my customers do not use specialist contractors thus saving a huge amount of money. Some use gardeners or unskilled part timers. That is all you need. 

Results you will love

The fertilisers that I supply are tailor-made for me, they are not “off the shelf” products. They are blended to the exact analysis that produces fast lawns and good playing surfaces as well as reducing thatch and eliminating the need to scarify.  On top of that, the analysis can be tweaked. For example if there is too much growth, the Nitrogen content can be reduced or, conversely, increased. This is something that I look after but you can also do this yourself if ordering online with an increase/decrease option. The ability to specify the precise fertiliser analysis is an amazing benefit now, and for the future development of your lawns. By tracking results and modifying the analysis it is possible to achieve continual improvement and better croquet lawns!

Online Shop and new products 

Picture
As far as I know, this is the only online turf care shop in the World that caters specifically for the needs of croquet clubs. 
The shop offers credit, an important factor as most clubs don't use credit cards. It features a range of annual fertiliser programmes suitable for clubs of any size. The programme selector is unique and makes it easy to find the right programme for your club. The shop also makes it easy for CA members to buy professional domestic fertilisers for their private gardens. These include superb "trade only" products that are not available from retailers.  
Sprayers for large areas such as croquet lawns can be very expensive and it seems impossible to find a suitable sprayer at a sensible price. For that I reason I have developed my own broadcast sprayer called the Brilliant Sprayer and it lives up to its name. It can be used by hand or towed by a tractor. Either way it has a 4.5 metre spray width and will spray a full size croquet lawn in about 9 minutes. 
The Brilliant Mower features 207 cuts per metre, as low as 3mm and brings the advantages of a £6k mower for £2680 to £2920.
On the Irrigation side, I have developed a relationship with Rigby Taylor who are the UK distributors for Rain Bird products. Their hydrodynamics are particularly suitable for croquet lawns and help me to supply first class irrigation packages at very competitive prices.

Interested?

Distance need not be a problem. I deal with clubs all over the UK. Thanks to Covid, I have had Zoom meetings with clubs and, when required, have also inspected lawns via Messenger or Facetime apps etc.  Please E mail or phone me. Contact me.
