Turf Lifter

When you need to lift a section of turf – whether it’s for repairs, replacement, or getting at an irrigation head – you want to do it without wrecking the turf next to it. This simple, sturdy Turf Lifter is designed for exactly that job. It’s a classic piece of kit for a reason: it just works.

The design gives you plenty of leverage to get under the turf and lift a clean section without it breaking apart. The wide, solid steel blade slides neatly under the rootzone, making it easy to slice and lift in one go. It’s ideal for patching worn areas on tees, approaches, or walkways, and for any job that requires temporary turf removal.

Built in the UK, it’s a straightforward, heavy-duty tool made to last. There are no moving parts to break or clever bits to go wrong. It’s just a solid, reliable turfing iron that you’ll have in the shed for years.

How It Works

• Use a turf knife or edging iron to score the perimeter of the turf section you want to remove.
• Slide the Turf Lifter’s blade under one edge of the cut section.
• Apply steady pressure on the handle to lever the turf upwards.
• Lift the section clear of the ground. Job done.

FAQ

What is it made from?

It’s made from solid steel for strength and durability, right here in the UK.

Is it just for golf courses?

Not at all. It’s a great tool for any groundsman or landscaper who needs to lift turf cleanly. Bowling greens, sports pitches, you name it.

What’s the benefit over using a spade?

The wide, flat blade and long handle are designed specifically for lifting turf without it breaking. A spade can tear the sod and makes a messier job of it.
