After meeting Paul Benson, Managing Director of Consolidate, I was immediately hooked on his philosophy around turf health. His approach was refreshingly simple, logical, and completely focused on proper plant functionality. It made sense straight away and once we put it into practice, the results confirmed everything he’d said.

What impressed me most was how uncomplicated the programme was. Using just the two core products, Plus and Destress, at 60–80 litres every 10 days, we began to see changes that were genuinely remarkable. The plant responded quickly, the turf carried itself better, and we achieved a level of performance and consistency that we had been chasing for years.

The results weren’t subtle. Surfaces became stronger, more resilient, more stable, and noticeably healthier. You could see the improvement in colour, density, uniformity, and the way the turf coped with stress. More importantly, you could feel the difference day to day, everything just became easier to manage because the plant was functioning properly.

What Consolidate gave us was confidence. Confidence that the plant had everything it needed. Confidence that stress events wouldn’t undo our hard work. Confidence that the improvements were real, predictable, and repeatable.

I can say without hesitation that Consolidate has provided the building blocks to create something special here. It’s simplified our approach, strengthened our turf beyond expectation, and given us a level of peace of mind that is hard to put a price on.

If you want turf that performs, recovers, and stays balanced and you also want to sleep at night, then Consolidate is the answer.
