GreenTek an exclusive distributor for Sweep-N-Fill brush: GreenTek Solutions Ltd is proud to announce its appointment as the Exclusive UK Distributor for the highly regarded Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 topdressing brush. The product will be available for demonstration and purchase through GreenTek’s national network of Key Dealers.

Designed with input from leading turf professionals and refined over years of development, the Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 has become the gold standard in efficient, high-performance topdressing. Its hallmark feature—two soft, flexible contra-rotating brushes driven directly by ground wheels—delivers consistent results at any operating speed. This unique design enables greenkeepers to fill core holes in fewer passes, using significantly less sand, while producing a smooth, even surface that’s ready for play.

“This is a product that directly solves the practical needs of turf professionals,” said Jeff Anguige, Business Development Director at GreenTek. “With budgets tight and expectations high, the Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for quickly reinstating greens after aeration and topdressing.”

The Sweep-N-Fill’s two contra-rotating brushes floating independently, allowing it to follow undulations across greens, tees, and approaches. The electric lift ram and adjustable tow hitch allow compatibility with a wide range of lightweight power units, from utility vehicles to greensmowers and bunker rakes—offering unmatched versatility and manoeuvrability.

Beyond topdressing, the Sweep-N-Fill also grooms turf, removing grain, lifting lateral shoots, and encouraging healthier, more upright growth. These grooming benefits promote a faster, truer ball roll—the key characteristics of elite-level playing conditions.

Jeff Anguige added, “We’re excited that this top product is now available again to golf courses throughout the UK and Ireland. Whether it’s cleaning up aerified greens, brushing in heavy dressings, or improving surface consistency, Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 delivers on every level. It’s a fantastic addition to our portfolio.”

Other key features include a vertical storage stand to save space in machinery sheds, and the ability to fill divots on tees and range areas just as effectively as on greens. Built for professionals who demand the highest performance, the Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 sets the benchmark in topdressing equipment.

AFH Groundcare Becomes a Distributor for DSV Seeds

/in , /by

AFH Groundcare Becomes a Distributor for DSV Seeds: AFH Groundcare has been announced as an official distributor for DSV Seeds, offering the EuroGrass Pro range and DSV’s amenity mixtures to customers across Gloucestershire.

Founded by Tom Hughes, AFH Groundcare has grown steadily over recent years, starting from owning just a single line marker to providing a comprehensive range of services, including sports turf maintenance, lawn care, renovations, and vegetation management. Tom’s passion for delivering the best possible results for his clients led him to explore the seed market, which ultimately led to his partnership with DSV.

“I provide a lot of fertilisers and was very keen on moving into offering seed,” said Tom. “Someone mentioned to me that DSV offers a fantastic range of grass seed. The same person introduced me to Samuel Horner (Business Manager) from DSV, so we met up, had a chat, and it’s been going well ever since.”

AFH Groundcare has already seen positive feedback from customers using DSV’s EuroGrass Pro mixtures. “A sports club I work with has been using it on their football pitch, and they are very happy with the results. Even in November, it was germinating incredibly well,” Tom shared.

One of the key strengths of AFH Groundcare’s approach is its commitment to providing tailored solutions for clients of all sizes and budgets. “With grassroots clubs, everyone knows they don’t have a lot of money. I always recommend EuroGrass Pro mixtures because I know their strengths and the high-quality varieties in them. Every club is different, and I’ll always provide whatever suits their needs.”

DSV’s EuroGrass Pro range is developed for professional use and offers high-performance mixtures tailored to different requirements, including Classic, Ornamental, Shade, Sport, and Renovation blends. These carefully composed mixtures take into account factors such as soil conditions, climate, and maintenance plans, ensuring the best results for turf professionals.

Tom values the support he receives from DSV, stating, “It’s great working with DSV. If there’s ever anything I’m unsure about or need, I just make one phone call, and they’re always readily available to help. I’ve never had any issues with deliveries – everything arrives on time, and I can’t fault them at all.”

As the relationship between AFH Groundcare and DSV continues to grow, more customers will have access to top-tier seed products designed to enhance playing surfaces across the region.

Agrovista Amenity an approved distributor of Lanzarta

/in , /by

Agrovista Amenity an approved distributor of Lanzarta: Agrovista Amenity is pleased to announce its appointment as an approved distributor of Lanzarta, the newly authorised solution for controlling Hylobius abietis (large pine weevil) in Sitka spruce and other pine woodland.

The recent Emergency Authorisation (EA) for Lanzarta, manufactured by Syngenta, marks a significant milestone for the UK forestry sector, enabling forestry managers to safeguard newly planted and naturally regenerating saplings from the damaging effects of Hylobius weevil. The authorisation, secured by Confor (Confederation of Forest Industries) on behalf of the industry, permits the sale of Lanzarta between 15 April and 13 August 2025.

Application is allowed once per season within forest settings between 15 April and 30 September, using a knapsack sprayer for targeted treatment of young trees.

Containing the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, Lanzarta offers an effective and environmentally responsible solution to the growing Hylobius problem. Its advanced SC liquid formulation binds quickly and securely to tree bark, preventing wash-off and ensuring long-lasting protection against feeding pests. By protecting young trees through the crucial early years, Lanzarta helps reduce restocking costs, ensures more consistent woodland establishment, and allows natural pest populations to diminish over time.

“Hylobius weevils pose a significant threat to young woodland, and the approval of Lanzarta is a major step forward in ensuring effective protection,” says Ed Smith, Landscape & IVM Manager at Agrovista Amenity. “With its long-lasting binding properties and ease of application, this product will be an invaluable tool for forestry managers looking to safeguard their investment and promote sustainable woodland growth.”

Sitka spruce, the dominant conifer species in UK forestry, is particularly susceptible to Hylobius feeding damage. Approximately 35 million Sitka saplings are planted annually, making up around 50% of the country’s £2bn forestry trade. The lack of effective treatment options in recent years has left reforestation efforts vulnerable to severe losses, highlighting the importance of Lanzarta’s introduction.

Incorporating Lanzarta into an integrated pest management approach—alongside cultural control measures such as extended fallow periods, ground cover management, and habitat manipulation—can further enhance protection against Hylobius weevils.

Agrovista Amenity will be distributing the product nationwide to support forestry professionals in protecting young trees and promoting woodland establishment.
