At All Grass Solutions, we understand how demanding horse grazing can be on pasture. Erosion, overgrazing, weed invasion, and soil compaction can quickly turn a once-healthy paddock into a bare, dusty and unproductive area.
With our expert horse paddock maintenance services, you can improve grass coverage, soil structure, and long-term pasture health—reducing supplementary feeding costs and providing a better, safer environment for your horses.

🌾 The Importance of Paddock Spelling
One of the most effective tools in pasture management is paddock spelling—temporarily removing horses to allow the grass time to recover naturally.
Spelling your paddock allows:
- Restoration of root systems and surface vegetation
- Reduced compaction caused by hooves
- Better effectiveness of fertiliser and soil treatments
Spelling periods are ideal for mechanical treatments that enhance regrowth and prepare your paddock for future grazing.
🌬️ Aeration, Top Dressing & Reseeding
During your spelling phase, it’s the perfect opportunity to revitalise your soil with paddock aeration and top dressing.
Our paddock rejuvenation services include:
- Aeration – Relieves soil compaction, boosts root development, and increases water/nutrient absorption
- Top Dressing – Reintroduces organic matter or sand-based blends to improve soil quality and even the surface
- Reseeding – Applying a quality pasture seed mix post-aeration ensures better seed strike and uniform regrowth
- Stick Raking & Sweeping – Clears debris (sticks, leaves, manure) for a cleaner and more effective treatment
We also offer rotary hoeing to break up heavily compacted or crusted soil, preparing it for seed or soil amendments.
