What we do

Our initial on-site agronomic investigation, discussion, NearMaps referral, project scope and basic cost estimates are FREE OF CHARGE. It costs nothing to be 'in the know' so you can move forward with various stakeholders, budgets, timelines and planning constraints.

Situational field reports

Reseed are professional consultants and provide on-site situational oval reports . These detailed investigative briefs can be used for VSBA grants submission, stakeholder briefing and fundraising. The reports are descriptive, analytical, consultative, agronomic and provide options and recommendations for moving forward.

Situational field content

Geotech soil profile investigations
Topographical contour survey mapping
Pothole studies
Soil analysis
Drainage and compaction studies

Near Maps

Reseed subscribe to NearMaps close aerial imagery. We can see and study the ovals history including grass growth, kids traffic patterns, irrigation performance and more, seasonally going back as far as 2009. The information harvest is rich, unprecedented and a story within itself. NearMaps studies of your school's oval are foundational with all our consultations ensuring informed discussion and decision making.

Sports field Irrigation

Strategic watering is key to maintaining a vigorous turf sward that self-repairs faster than the kids can wear it down.

Reseed design, install and maintain bespoke turf irrigation systems as a turnkey solution, specific to the planned turfgrass growth. Our system designs are comprehensive, fully automated and hydraulically engineered to ensure head-to-head overlap coverage, high rotor pressure and water delivery. Often, our designs work off the mains utilising oversized piping and fittings to minimise system pressure losses to surpass minimum operating parameters. For mid-larger ovals, we specify bespoke variable speed computerised 'rare earth magnet' smart pumps to achieve system duty points, greater efficiency and lower cost watering. Another key feature of our installations is 'trenchless' pipe laying using a vibra-plough. The benefit being minimal excavations and negligible topography disturbance.

Our irrigation designs are underwritten by specific software that presents visualisation of construct layers including overlapping rotor arcs, mainline, lateral lines and valve layouts. We use NearMaps close aerial imagery to verify and reference previous grass growth patterns and old irrigation history.

Turn-key solutions

The starting point is a degraded oval; we deliver a valuable greenspace asset suited for long term sustainable kids' sports play. We provide a works specification and quote, and remittance is to achieved milestones. We also provide run-off turf maintenance, monitoring and advisory programs.
