⸺ The Difference
Not All Turf Is Equal.
Cutting and watering grass keeps a lawn green. Building a performance surface for competition takes monitored irrigation, agronomy and standards most landscaping teams never touch.
The Standard Approach
Cuts and waters the grass.
- Manual watering schedules
- Off-the-shelf turf, no sourcing standard
- General mowing, general products
- Renovation as needed, reactive
- No governing body reference points
- Maintenance without a monitoring system
- Generalist landscaping teams
- Fixed methods regardless of venue
Desert Turfcare
Builds performance surfaces.
- Irrigation scheduled by evapotranspiration and soil moisture data
- Own nursery growing certified turf
- Turf health inputs applied by soil and leaf testing
- Renovation by turf stripping, verticutting, aeration and topdressing
- Daily FIFA-standard testing: compaction, infiltration, traction, ball roll
- 100+ projects, built to FIFA standards
- Sports-specialist teams only
- Grading and rootzone built to venue and turf type
