Are you the owner of Compact Contracting Services?
Robert would like to share with the sports community about Compact Contracting Services, an agricultural organisation based in Saffron Walden. Robert's team specialises in paddock and grounds maintenance and has been actively working to improve the condition and usability of various grounds.
Throughout the year, from spring to autumn, Compact Contracting Services offers paddock maintenance. They recommend spring tine harrowing during spring to deal with minor compaction and remove thatch, which can block nutrients, oxygen, and moisture from reaching the roots. Their 12ft harrows, equipped with levelling boards, are towed by compact tractors weighing under 2 tonnes, ensuring minimal ground impact.
Robert emphasises the importance of essential nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium for grasslands. Even though fertiliser prices have risen, Compact Contracting Services continues to provide fertilising services using artificial pellets. They also tackle various weeds with their 10m sprayer attached to compact tractors, ensuring comprehensive weed control, including troublesome weeds like ragwort, docks, and thistles.
Slitting services are another key offering, helping to improve drainage and oxygen reach to the roots, ultimately promoting growth. If there are patches of excess grass or areas livestock avoid, Robert’s team can trim these areas with their compact flail mower, offering both a tidy appearance and low input fertiliser.
Robert understands the challenges posed by ragwort and other weeds. With their weed killers and RTK auto-steer guidance system from ERH Services, Compact Contracting Services ensures precise and efficient spraying, handling up to 5 acres per tank.
Aside from paddock maintenance, the company also provides grounds maintenance for schools, Parish, Town, and District Councils. This includes grass cutting, strimming, spraying, hedge cutting, and general ground upkeep. Their aim is to create well-maintained and visually appealing outdoor spaces.
