Redexim and Russells Groundcare Strengthen Partnership

/in , /by

Redexim and Russells Groundcare Strengthen Partnership: Redexim and Russells Groundcare have announced a significant expansion of their long-standing partnership, with Russells now taking on responsibility for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in addition to their existing Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire territory.

This development represents a natural evolution of a relationship built on trust, shared standards, and strong aftersales support.

For Redexim, the decision to widen Russells’ area was an easy one. Andy O’Neil, Regional Manager at Redexim, has known the Russells team for years and worked opposite them before working alongside them.

“I used to work for a company that competed with Russells daily for six years, so I know them very, very well,” Andy explains. “In the four years since they’ve become a Redexim partner, we’ve never had any issues. They’re professional and they’re well known and well thought of by their customers. There was nobody else we wanted to go to for covering the area.”

For Russells Groundcare, the expansion presents a major opportunity to strengthen their offering to professional turf customers across the region. Sales Manager Mark Willerton says the chance to take on a larger territory aligned perfectly with their own ambitions.

“The opportunity came to expand our area – having the franchise for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire already, this opportunity arose and we grabbed it with both hands,” Mark says. “Redexim is a long-established brand. The Verti-Drain is so well known. Everyone refers to whatever aerator they have as a Verti-Drain. It’s the original and the best in the market.

Taking on the wider Redexim range gives us some unique products we’ve not had before, and it’s an exciting opportunity.”

Among those new additions to the Russells portfolio, Mark expects two stand-out lines to immediately resonate with their customer base.

“One product we’ve never had before is the Overseeder, which – especially with these dry summers – is becoming a much more popular machine. The Verti-Drain and the Redexim Overseeder excite us the most. They’re really going to boost things for us.”

Both companies agree that the extended partnership isn’t just about product reach – it’s about strengthening support for end users. Redexim has highlighted improved customer service as a key benefit of Russells’ expanded remit, something Mark is proud to echo.

“We really pride ourselves on our aftersales service,” he explains. “You sell the first machine, but you earn the chance to sell the second one based on your aftersales support. That’s something we’re absolutely focused on.”

The close working relationship between the two teams will only deepen as Russells move into their new territory. “We’re looking forward to getting out there with Andy and the Redexim team and doing some demonstrations,” says Mark.

With shared values, complementary strengths, and a unified commitment to exceptional customer care, the expansion signals a powerful next chapter in the Redexim–Russells partnership – one built firmly on collaboration.

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.

Redexim Launches the Turf-Tidy 5000: Redexim is pleased to announce the launch of the Turf-Tidy 5000. The Turf-Tidy 5000 is meant for cutting and collecting over large areas.

Big capacity means big results. It holds up to 5,000 litres and features a dust-suppression-cover, a seat-controlled rear camera for easy maneuvering, blades that can be changed quickly without tools and a high-tipping angle that ensures a fast and complete release.

Turf-Tidy 5000 – Big capacity. Big results.

Turf-Tidy is designed for the cutting and collecting of material, creating a presentable surface. More capacity means more time cutting and less time emptying, making the Turf-Tidy 5000 efficient for large areas. It boasts a 5,000 L hopper capacity.

Additionally, the Turf-Tidy 5000 brings several enhancements to make using the machine easier day-to-day. Its rear-mounted camera enables safe reversing.

A dust-suppression-cover keeps material and debris contained. When it comes to emptying material, it tips high and steep, ejecting material efficiently and completely. Its blades can be changed quickly and without the use of tools.

The Turf-Tidy 5000 offers the flail-mowing, scarification, dethatching and collecting we have come to expect from the Turf-Tidy range, such as the Turf-Tidy 3000 and the compact Turf-Tidy 1100. They are built to last with durable designs that deliver reliable cutting and collecting season after season.

Global Commercial Director, Curtis Allen said “We are pleased to be bringing the Turf-Tidy 5000 to market, having been asked by our customers for a higher capacity cut and collect unit which incorporates the very popular floating-head technology of the smaller Turf-Tidy 3000 along with the proven high-tip emptying feature.”

The Turf-Tidy 5000 will be well suited to large areas such as horse racetracks and AFL fields where hopper capacity is key. The development, testing and launch of another new product by Redexim is a testament to our continued drive to respond to the needs of customers with dependable turf care solutions.

It requires a minimum of 45 HP while scarifying and 25 HP while sweeping. It has a working width of 1.8 m and a maximum working depth of 30 mm while scarifying and 80 mm while mowing. Its weight is 2,550 kg and its capacity is 5,000 L. Features include a debris cover, tool-less quick blade change, a seat-controlled rear camera for safe reversing and a high-tipping angle for quick, complete material release.

Turf Tidy 1100

The Turf-Tidy 1100 is a compact, versatile solution for keeping turf clean and healthy. Combining mowing, scarifying, and sweeping in a single tractor-mounted machine, it reduces the need for multiple passes and multiple pieces of equipment.

Highly manoeuvrable, it’s ideal for sites where access is tight, while the clamshell hopper makes collecting and emptying debris simple and efficient during busy renovation periods.

Overseeder 3D 1575

Freshly redesigned, the Overseeder 3D 1575 now features a new seed delivery system with single-point adjustment, improving ease of use and accuracy.

Tough cutting discs slice clean grooves into the soil, placing seed at the optimal depth before the rear roller closes the groove for excellent soil-to-seed contact.

  • Excellent germination rates
  • Adjustable seed aperture for various seed types
  • Digital meter for precision

A durable, reliable choice for surfaces in need of recovery after last summer’s heat stress.

Verti-Drain® 2519

Aeration remains one of the most effective ways to relieve compaction and improve water movement through the profile. The Verti-Drain 2519 delivers high-speed performance with a maximum working depth of 10” / 250 mm, making it ideal for venues where productivity and agility matter.

  • Fast, efficient operation
  • Suitable across a wide range of turf types
  • Compatible with hollow or solid tines

Speed-Seed Walk-Behind

Perfect for smaller turf areas or hard-to-reach spots, the Speed-Seed WB brings Redexim overseeding technology to a pedestrian format. The self-propelled unit uses a spiked roller to create holes before dropping seed, and a rear brush ensures thorough distribution and a tidy finish.

  • Ideal for compact or awkward areas
  • Easy to transport
  • Reliable sowing and finish

Easy-Core

The Easy-Core is a pedestrian punch-action aerator built for quick, manoeuvrable coring in restricted spaces. The unit rapidly removes cores for effective de-compaction, with optional solid tines available for different soil conditions. Folding handles make transport straightforward.

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.”
