Sports Turf Agronomic Management Program

Drill and Fill is accepted world - wide as the proven method to

modify the root zone without total renovation and while keeping the turf in

play. Whether the problem is compaction and poor drainage or

accumulated layering, the result of Drill and Fill aerification is improved turf

quality. This process drills holes up to 12 - inches deep into turf on 6 - inch

centers, removing soil and backfilling each hole with sand to create deep

sand columns in the root zone profile. Drill aerification without fill is an

alternative process effective in reducing “ iron layer ” problems and

greatly improves drainage.
