A system for managing warm season, stoloniferous grass turf comprises removing, at an appropriate time, the upper layer of turf down to but not including the stolons 13, and allowing the grass to regenerate. The appropriate time may be at the end of a playing season. The turf may contain winter grass and the method may remove this grass. The turf may also comprise artificial fibres and these will be left in place. The method may be carried out by the use of a rotor and the rotor may have blades which skim the soil surface. The height of the blades may be set by treating a trial area of turf and adjusting the height until just the stolons are left exposed.
