About Aeraturf

While Richard has experience in numerous turf surfaces such as golf, croquet, cricket and Sports Fields, he found that his persistence and attention to detail is what set him up for a long-term career maintaining Bowling Greens.

With 25 years of hard work, determination, and a deep seeded passion for creating exceptional Bowling Green surfaces, Richard really has mastered the longevity of his trade.

Knowing the depth of work and detail within the industry, Richard always comes back to this well know quote by Hal Borland…

“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.”

Networking with several highly skilled and reputable professionals in the field has supported Richards strong value in growth and learning. Always eager to excel, he has tried to learn from the best and produce turf surfaces he’s proud of.

This leads us to tell you about the history of Richard Stephenson and Richard Booth from ‘Hydocore’, a renowned turf professional from Hawks Nest. Back in 2013 Richard Stephenson became a Turf Shave sub-contractor for Richard Booth, and looking back, this is where it all began. Without realising it, the ‘Aearturf’ seed had been planted. (Cringey grass pun intended!) Whether it was the twin names or the aligned work ethic, these two blokes have continued to work together over the years until Boothy decided it was time to hand over the reins.

With great honour, Richard Stephenson took his time to learn the ropes of what was then called “Hydrocore”. Forever grateful for Richard Booth’s guidance and encouragement, “Hydrocore” has slowly transitioned into what we now call “Aeraturf”.

Combining “Hydrocore’s” multiple aeration methods with Richard’s established Laser Levelling Service, we feel this company has really come into its own!
