Drought-Damaged Pitch? We Bring Sports Turf Back to Life Across West Yorkshire π±π
Another pitch recovery project completed by TJ Walsh Sports Turf Contractors, this time at Leeds Corinthians RUFC .
Following the recent prolonged dry weather and drought conditions, the pitch needed help where it matters most β below the surface.
We carried out Shockwave Aeration to relieve soil compaction, improve drainage and air movement through the rootzone, encourage stronger grass rooting and give the playing surface the best possible conditions to recover.
For clubs dealing with a dry, hard, compacted or struggling sports pitch, professional aeration can make a huge difference to both short-term recovery and long-term turf performance.

β

Encourages deeper, stronger grass roots
β
Helps water and nutrients reach the rootzone

Recover your pitches after the drought π±
Prolonged dry weather can leave sports pitches hard, compacted and struggling to absorb water β even when the rain finally returns.
Shockwave Aeration helps turn that around. Using deep linear decompaction, the Imants ShockWave fractures hard, heat-baked soil beneath the surface, creating pathways for water, air and nutrients to reach the rootzone β all with minimal surface disruption.
β
Relieves deep compaction
β
Improves water infiltration
β
Encourages stronger root growth
β
Helps rainfall reach the rootzone
β
Minimal disruption to the playing surface
The result?
A pitch that can recover more effectively, make better use of rainfall and build a stronger root
system for the season ahead.
