CROWN III™
Rubber Crumb Turf Reinforcement
Crown III™ is an innovative and competitive way to reinforce turf.
How Crown III™ works
Crown III™ acts like a cushion as it settles round the crown of the plant and drops into the tine holes. This relief of compaction and reduced surface hardness not only saves the grass but assists in preventing sporting injuries.
Low cost
Crown III will last 3 years and costs between £1.5 and £2.00 per sq.m. Replaces the necessity to returf.
Step 1- Verti drain the worn area with 20-25mm solid tines to adepth
of 5-6inches
Step 2 – Drop spread 6kilos/sq/m of Crown III™.
Step 3 – Brush into the holes and overseed.
Step 4 – Allow grass to grow through and mow.
When returfing, spread the 6kilo/sq/m on top of the root zone and rotovate in to a depth of 4-5inches.
It’s so simple to use
Step 1 – Hollow tine the area.
Step 2 – Drop spread the desired amount of Crown III™.
Step 3 – Brush into the holes and overseed.
Step 4 – Allow grass to grow through and mow.
Step 5 – Repeat after three weeks until required quantity laid.
With new turf you dress gradually over a period of time in small additions. With new root zones drop spread on surface then rotovate to 2”.
The results speak for themselves
Over 700 sports and garden sites in the UK are using Crown III™ Rubber Crumb turf reinforcement.
