Cutting Edge sharpens its service with Redexim

/in , , /by

Cutting Edge sharpens its service with Redexim: Operating across a diverse mix of natural and synthetic surfaces, Cutting Edge Grounds Maintenance has built its reputation on delivering effective, practical solutions for sports turf and grounds maintenance.

From schools and grassroots football to rugby, cricket, athletics and synthetic facilities, the business takes a truly all-round approach – and Redexim equipment plays a key role in that strategy.

Managing Director Josh Blackburn explains: “We’re a full grounds maintenance company – it’s not just one area. We look after natural and synthetic surfaces across schools, grassroots sports clubs, rugby clubs, athletics clubs and cricket clubs. The majority of our work is schools, but we really do cover everything.”

That variety of sites and surfaces has led Cutting Edge to invest in a range of Redexim machinery, with the Verti-Quake® 2516 and Verti-Top® 1800 proving to be standout assets.

Having operated the Verti-Quake 2516 for around a year, Josh says it has become an essential part of Cutting Edge’s aeration programmes, particularly on heavy clay soils where surface drainage is often the limiting factor.

“A lot of our land is clay-based, and people really struggle with drainage,” he explains. “Traditional deep-tine aeration does a great job of cracking the ground eight, ten, twelve inches down, but on its own it doesn’t always address surface water movement. That’s where the Verti-Quake really comes into its own.”

The Verti-Quake addresses this challenge through linear decompaction of the upper soil profile, allowing water to move away from the surface more effectively.

“With the Verti-Quake, you’re creating that linear drainage. You’re getting water off the top surface, through the soil profile and away, while your Verti-Drain® holes are still doing their job underneath. Together, you’ve got a solid pocket of drainage. “It works really well hand-in-hand with the Redexim Verti-Drain. If you’re doing four aeration treatments a year and you mix in a Verti-Quake, you’ll see a huge difference in your soils.”

Cutting Edge uses the Verti-Quake across private schools, football pitches, clubs and open spaces, particularly on winter sports pitches where playability is critical.

“We look after Yarm Private School, and the improvement there has been massive,” says Josh. “This year, the only time they had a game called off was when it snowed. They’ve had fixtures every week – not one game lost to waterlogging.”

On the synthetic side, Cutting Edge relies on the Verti-Top 1800 to maintain a wide range of surfaces, including sand-filled and rubber crumb pitches.

“We use it on all of them – sand, rubber crumb, hockey-type surfaces,” Josh explains. “I had a few machines on demo, but the Verti-Top really stood out as the all-round, all-in-one solution.”

The Verti-Top combines powered brushing, interchangeable sieves, optional decompaction tines and an integrated vacuum system, allowing debris to be removed while infill is separated and returned to the surface.

“It’s the only one with decompacting rakes on,” Josh says. “If you’re deep cleaning and decompacting at the same time, you’re saving yourself going back over the surface with another machine. It’s one pass, one man, one tractor.”

For a contractor, that efficiency directly impacts profitability.

“Instead of sending one man with two attachments and being there twice as long, one operator can decompact and deep clean in one go. From a labour point of view, it’s a huge time saver.”

Josh also points to the thoughtful design and features of the Verti-Top, particularly its low horsepower requirement and adjustable sieves.

“You don’t want a big tractor on artificial turf, especially on rubber crumb – all you’ll do is flatten it. The Verti-Top requires low horsepower, the sieves are interchangeable, and the way it vacuums out fine material is really clever. It’s a very well-built machine.”

Alongside performance, Josh is keen to highlight the importance of backup and aftersales support – something he says has been consistently strong.

“The performance of the machine is great, but it’s also the backup you get from Tom Alexander at Rickerby Ltd and Allen Whellans at Redexim,” he says. “If I’ve got a question, they’ll come out at the drop of a hat. It’s very good aftersales service.”

With a growing portfolio of sites and surfaces, Cutting Edge Grounds Maintenance continues to rely on Redexim machinery to deliver measurable improvements for its clients – combining technical performance, operational efficiency and the support needed to back it all up.

Laser Sharp Results with Redexim

/in , /by

Laser Sharp Results with Redexim: When James Camfield, Managing Director of Golf Course Management Services Limited, saw a gap in the market for specialist tee levelling, he turned to Redexim. The result? Flawlessly levelled playing surfaces that are transforming golf clubs across the country.

Founded in 2021, James’ Hertfordshire-based business provides flexible greenkeeping support, offering everything from drainage and irrigation installation to fine turf consultancy and hands-on site work. “We’re a bit of a collective,” he says. “We work with some of the best people in the industry – from landscapers and lawn care specialists to woodland managers. Together we can offer everything from technical advice to full project delivery.”

One of James’ most recent projects took place at Moor Park Golf Club, where he worked with Course Manager Gavin Kinsella to rebuild two small, uneven tees.

“The existing tees were small, uneven, and weak,” says James. “We enlarged them by around 150%, installed drainage on five-metre spacings, added irrigation, and then imported 150mm of rootzone material. The Redexim Laser Grader 1500 allowed us to achieve the perfect final levels – accurate to within a millimetre.”

With its 1.5m working width and laser-controlled levelling system, the Laser Grader 1500 makes short work of precision tasks like these. The grader automatically adjusts the blade via its hydraulic control system, following the programmed gradient set by the operator.

“Once it’s set up, it’s incredibly straightforward to use,” James explains. “You set the grade you want, programme the laser transmitter, and the grader does the rest. The precision is incredible – the surface almost feels like a billiard table.”

The Laser Grader 1500 is built around a heavy-duty steel frame, ensuring durability even on demanding projects. Despite its robust construction, it remains compact and easy to handle, helping to reduce soil compaction while providing a consistently smooth finish.

“We did a lot of research before buying,” says James. “The power-to-weight ratio was a big factor – it’s tractor-driven and hydraulically powered, which makes it efficient but also really controllable. It gives us total confidence that we can create the exact surface we want, every single time.”

James and his team are now using the grader across a wide range of fine turf sites, from Kent up to Leicestershire and Oxfordshire. The investment has quickly paid off, with demand growing through word of mouth.

“It’s not the kind of kit a golf club would buy for one-off use, but that’s exactly where we come in,” James adds. “We can offer an affordable, high-quality tee levelling service using top-end equipment. For us, with very high expectations of how we want to leave a surface for a client, the Redexim Laser Grader gives us the confidence to know that we can create the levels that are required. It’s so precise, sometimes we have to just take a step back and admire it!”

Throughout the purchase process, James worked closely with Paul Thomas from Redexim, whose support helped ensure he chose the right model for his needs.

“Paul was brilliant — he couldn’t have done more to help,” says James. “He talked me through the options and guided me towards the perfect version for what we do. Redexim has built a reputation on quality machinery, and I can’t recommend them highly enough for both the equipment and the aftersales support.”

With the Laser Grader 1500 now an integral part of his operation, James says it’s hard to imagine working without it.

“When I think of Redexim, I think of quality,” he concludes. “The grader has become our go-to bit of kit. If we expand into other areas and Redexim has the right machinery, it’ll be a no-brainer for us to stick with them.”

Hibernian FC Invests in Redexim Verti-Rake

/in , /by

Hibernian FC Invests in Redexim Verti-Rake: Maintaining a top-class playing surface at Easter Road Stadium is no small task, but for Steven Thomas, Head Groundsman at Hibernian Football Club, having the right machinery is making all the difference. One of the latest additions to his maintenance fleet is the Redexim Verti-Rake – a tool he says is already proving invaluable.

“We’ve had the Verti-Rake for a few months now,” Steven explained. “For us, it was about maintaining the highest standard of turf possible. We were looking for an attachment that could rake the surface, keep our hybrid stitch clean, and clear out organic matter. Having looked at a few options, we felt the Verti-Rake was the best choice. It’s simple to use, easy to set up, and does exactly what we need.”

The Redexim Verti-Rake is designed for fast and effective thatch removal. Its spring tines work between the grass blades to loosen thatch, while adjustable tine angles allow operators to alter the aggression of the rake. Working depth can also be fine-tuned for perfect results. As well as helping to clean surfaces, the Verti-Rake can be used to create a seed bed ahead of overseeding.

Steven and his assistant Ronan use the rake regularly. “We tend to use it after every game,” he said. “It’s great for raking out organic matter and keeping the hybrid stitch upright. But it’s also weather dependent – we’ll assess the conditions and decide if it’s needed. What’s been clear so far is that every time we’ve used it, it’s easy to set up, easy to manoeuvre, and leaves the surface clean.”

He adds that the machine also has benefits for playability. “Earlier in the season, we felt the surface was maybe too dense for ball movement and traction. Once we put the rake through, followed by a rotary cut to tidy debris, you’d almost not know we’d been on the pitch. It leaves minimal disruption and keeps the surface playing really well.”

Ease of operation is a standout feature for Steven. “For me, the key feature is how easy it is to set up. It’s literally just a case of attaching it to the three-point linkage on the tractor and using the side levers to adjust the depth. It’s quick, simple, and effective.”

Steven also believes it is an exciting time for the Redexim brand right now. “I think they’re making a bit of a wave just now with new machinery. There’s a lot of innovation coming through, and we’ve had good support from Allen Whellans at Redexim too – he has always been on hand and supportive.”

The Verti-Rake now sits alongside other Redexim equipment in Steven’s fleet, and he sees clear benefits in how they complement each other. “As well as the Verti-Rake, we have a Verti-Drain, and they can work side by side. One can be raking while the other is aerating – they’re very much multipurpose and help us get the most from our maintenance programme.”

He also credits Hibernian FC for investing in the tools to allow his team to achieve high standards. “Over the last two years, the club has made a big investment in machinery, which gives us an advantage in producing the pitch we want. When I first joined, there were just two of us and limited resources. The progression since then has been massive. People rightly give credit to the groundstaff, but the club deserves huge credit too for backing us with the tools we need.”

With the Redexim Verti-Rake now firmly embedded in their maintenance regime, Steven and his team are well-equipped to keep Easter Road’s playing surface clean, healthy, and ready for action.
