Gilba Solutions was founded over 35 years ago and has established itself as one of the few turf companies in Australia to employ a university-qualified soil scientist. Their history includes being among the first in Australia to introduce practices like NDVI and soil moisture mapping.

The company emphasizes a scientific approach where all recommendations are based on good science after a turf health assessment or site visit. They aim to limit the use of chemicals, fertiliser, and water while quantifying turf health and identifying drainage or soil issues.

The firm provides calculators and guides for topics like sand amendment, traffic tolerance, and nutrient deficiencies. They also release regular guides to help turf managers better manage grass, such as their guide to identifying nutrient deficiencies in turfgrass.

Gilba Solutions supports industry bodies like International Greenkeepers for Hire and advocates for regular testing of products. They also promote the use of non-chemical alternatives, as seen in their blog on DIY pest control.
