Published 24th July 2025 News
Maintaining top-quality turf—whether natural grass or synthetic—starts with the right brush. At GreenTek, we supply professional-grade turf brushes designed for every maintenance task, from brushing in topdressing to dispersing worm casts or grooming artificial pitches.
Use this easy guide to find the best turf brush for your specific surface and application.
Which turf brush is best for your sports surface or pitch?
We’ve broken down the best options by surface type and maintenance task to help you choose the right tool quickly.
Natural Turf: Golf green and tees
Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 – Best for Topdressing & Core Hole Filling
The Sweep-N-Fill Mk3 is GreenTek’s most advanced topdressing brush. Designed for fast, efficient core hole filling, it uses contra-rotating brushes to lift and drop sand directly into holes, achieving full fill with fewer passes and less sand.
Soft floating brushes follow undulations in the green with ease, making it just as effective for routine grooming. Regular use lifts lateral shoots, reduces grain, and helps keep putting surfaces fast and true.
Greens-Groomer – Best for Brushing Regular Topdressings
The Greens-Groomer features 16 zig-zag brush sections across a wide frame, creating a luting effect that evenly distributes sand. It’s ideal for routine topdressing on flat golf greens, helping maintain a smooth, level playing surface.
Thatch-Away Topdressing Brush Cassettes – Best for Contoured Greens
Perfect for undulating greens, the Thatch-Away Topdressing Brush cassettes consist of three separate units that each follow ground contours independently. Mounted on your greens triple mower, they’re a highly manoeuvrable, efficient solution for applying light topdressings.
Natural Turf: Fairways and sports pitches
Flicker-Brush – Best for Worm Cast Removal on Fairways
The patent-pending Flicker-Brush is engineered specifically for worm cast dispersal without smearing, even on damp turf. Available in 5.3m for fairways and 2.2m for single sports pitches, it’s also great for brushing dew, nap, and topdressing.
Ideal for golf fairways, football pitches, rugby fields, and more.
Multi-Brush – Best Hydraulic Folding Brush for Dew Dispersal
With its 5.4m width and excellent articulation, the Multi-Brush is a powerful tool for brushing dew, topdressing, and nap. But for worm cast dispersal, we still recommend the Flicker-Brush due to its specialised design.
Maxi-Brush – Best Manual Folding Brush for Sports Pitches
The Maxi-Brush is a manually folding 5.4m brush that’s ideal for regular brushing tasks on large sports areas. Its outer wings can be mounted inboard to form a 1.8m, 6-row configuration, making it highly adaptable for topdressing integration.
