Sand Banding
A form of secondary drainage, sand banding is an effective method of encouraging moisture movement through the upper layers of the turf surface. The combination of linear aeration and incorporation of sand into the profile improves infiltration and is designed to work effectively alongside existing lateral drains and other aeration work conducted throughout the year. Sand banding can bring dramatic improvements and extend playing hour on all types of fine turf and sports turf surfaces.
DJUKE utilise the Imants SandCat – an innovative, compact solution ideal for use on greens and tees. This machine moves lightly over the turf, slitting the surface and backfilling with sand to enhance the properties of the rootzone. It can also be used without sand to deliver linear aeration to compacted fine turf areas.
