Rootzone Greens Turf

Our pioneering Rootzone Greens Turf has become Tillers’ flagship product and can be found on golf courses throughout the UK and Northern Europe.

Regular top dressing utilising a USGA specification sand to the required depth ensures a turf that is compatible with both USGA and other high sand content rootzones.

Compatibility between turf and rootzone ensures efficient water and nutrient infiltration resulting in deeper and healthier root systems promoting finer grasses and increased drought tolerance.

Mown daily during the growing season to a height of 6mm and as necessary at 8mm over the Winter months.

Available in small roll 1.62m x 0.62m (1m²).

Poa Bent Greens Turf

We developed Poa Bent Greens Turf, following numerous requests from greenkeepers, to match the existing poa bent swards that are symptomatic of well-established UK and Northern European golf greens.

Poa Bent Greens replicates the typical playing characteristics and visual appearance of most established golf greens.

Ideal for green extensions, new green constructions to match existing greens on the course and repairing worn areas.

Managed as a golf green and maintained in a traditional manner conducive with the majority of UK and European golf courses.

Through regular top dressing with USGA sand, this turf is compatible with USGA specification rootzone greens, as well as traditional soil based greens.

Regularly mown using a dedicated triple mower to a height of 3mm in Summer and 4mm in Winter.

Available in small roll 1.62m x 0.62m (1m²) and a thick cut slab option for instant playability.

Greens Turf Production

The production of Tillers greens turf products is intensively managed​ by our highly qualified and experienced greenkeepers.​

Regular top dressing with a USGA specification sand* along with balanced nutrient input and moisture control form part of our overall management plan. Additional brushing and boxing off clippings minimises the accumulation of organic matter.

Products are regularly checked for Poa Annua and hand picked, as necessary, to ensure they are virtually free of this species** upon delivery.

* With the exception of our Greens on Soil.
** With the exception of our Poa Bent Greens where the Poa Annua forms an integral part of the sward.
