Replay Maintenance invests in Redexim machines

Replay Maintenance is strengthening its expanding natural turf division with the investment of a Redexim Verti-Drain 7416 aerator and Overseeder 3D 1575, helping the company deliver high-quality pitch renovations for sports clubs across the UK.

Replay Maintenance invests in Redexim machines

Having taken delivery of both machines, the specialist contractor has already seen impressive results on a range of grassroots sports pitches, with customers reporting significant improvements in grass establishment and overall playing surfaces.

For Natural Turf Manager Ben Sadler, the decision to invest in the Redexim machines was an easy one.

“We’d used the Verti-Drain previously and were very impressed,” he said. “It’s a strong, robust machine and we knew it would work well on the contracting sites we look after. When we launched our natural turf division, it was always this machine we had in mind because we already knew the quality and reliability of it.”

The Verti-Drain 7416 has quickly become an integral part of Replay Maintenance’s renovation programme thanks to its simple setup, versatility and ability to aerate to significant depths while causing minimal surface disruption.

“It’s quick and easy to set up, can work to a good depth and leaves very little surface disruption,” said Ben. “It’s suitable across all sports turf and with different tine options it’s incredibly versatile.”

Alongside the Verti-Drain, Replay Maintenance also invested in the Redexim Overseeder 3D 1575, which has already made a noticeable impact on overseeding operations.

“We’ve used it extensively on grassroots sites and it’s very easy to set up for the seed rate you require,” Ben explained. “Because it’s a disc seeder, there’s very little disruption to the playing surface, so pitches can be used again straight away. It leaves a really neat finish, and we’ve already seen some very good results from the seed establishment.”

Those results are already being recognised by customers.

One such example came from St Giles Park – a sports facility in Nottingham, where Replay Maintenance carried out a programme of aeration and overseeding after challenging growing conditions.

“The pitches at St Giles Park were extremely bare after a long wet season followed by an extremely dry summer, where previous seeding hadn’t established particularly well,” said Ben. “We inspected the pitch, recommended a programme of treatments and carried out the work. The customer says that the improvement has been outstanding, and that they been left with a great covering of lush grass. It’s great to see customers noticing the difference. That’s what it’s all about at the end of the day.

Having used Redexim equipment throughout his career on golf courses and as a sports turf contractor, Ben says the brand’s reputation for reliability played a major role in the purchasing decision.

“I’ve used the machines before in previous roles and always found them to be reliable and capable of producing excellent results. That experience gave us confidence when investing in equipment for Replay Maintenance.”

Looking ahead, Replay Maintenance is focused on continuing the growth of its natural turf division while supporting an even wider range of sports facilities.

“Our aim is to keep growing and continue supporting clubs, particularly those benefiting from the Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund,” said Ben. “At the same time, we’re looking to expand further into cricket outfields, rugby pitches and golf courses. Whatever the sport, we want to help clubs improve and maintain high-quality natural turf surfaces.”

Polymer injection for healthier trees

Terrain Aeration is working in Scotland in the next few weeks. Now is the time to book your deep aeration treatment for waterlogging and flooding

Terrain Aeration’s Terralift system celebrates 50 years of successful deep aeration treatment of bowling greens, sports turf, golf clubs, parks, trees and more.

The summer months have not been kind for trees and turf. Increasingly, year on year, we are seeing the effects of climate change across our landscape as droughts persist. Trees in parks, golf courses, public and amenity areas, turf on sports pitches through to lawns in private gardens have all suffered from the lack of rainfall. The ground becomes hard and compacted to a considerable depth, and when the rains do come, this often leads to standing surface water and waterlogging.

Polymer injection for healthier trees

Suffolk-based Terrain Aeration has specialised in one-metre deep soil aeration to relieve compaction, panning, and waterlogging nationally for over thirty years. In addition to underground fracturing to allow drainage, Terrain Aeration’s Terralift system also releases dried seaweed into the fissures it creates. This swells in the wet to keep them open. While that takes care of the drainage and aeration when it’s very wet, there remains the opposite problem of grass and tree roots not getting enough water in periods of drought. It’s a problem addressed by the same machine, the Terralift system, that aerates the soil at depth by releasing compressed air via its one-metre depth probe. As that fragments the soil to create the fissures and cracks, the probe can also inject water-storing polymer. Once in place, the polymer will expand one-hundredfold with rainwater or irrigation water, which it stores for the turf or tree roots to take up as needed. It’s a one-way system, so the polymer does not take water from the roots.

In this way, we will be able to make better use of what water we have, and it’s a very long-term process as the polymer takes a long time to degrade. Spreading the polymer on the surface is not practical, as when it rains it turns into a gel, making the area dangerous to walk and play on. Injecting it into the ground using the Terralift machine offers the best, most beneficial, and wholly cost-effective method, says the company. Terrain Aeration is the only operator of the Terralift in the UK, and the treatment has proved itself since 1985. In 2026 The Terralift system celebrated 50 years of operation. Today, there are different versions of the machine to treat large open spaces such as sports grounds, golf courses, and avenues of trees, and to negotiate narrow accesses onto bowling greens and gardens. Anywhere from airports to zoos.
