Entec Treebusta Micro Woodchipper Hire from Dean Broughton Turfcare

Entec Treebusta

Compact Micro Woodchipper & Operator Hire

 

Making light work of awkward jobs in narrow access area’s where normal size chippers cannot gain access…….only 28” wide so able to get through standard size gates and doorways

 

   The ability to “chip on the spot” in confined spaces reduces time on extra cutting,

    man handling and clearing up

 

    Chip can be removed or left on site as a weed suppressing mulch

 

        This is a serious 4” commercial chipper with a large appetite for wood and              vegetation in a small compact unit, not to be confused with Hobby/Homeowner machines

 

      We also carry out:

 

·         Hedge Cutting

·         Tree Pruning

·         Conifer Reductions

·         General Grounds Maintenance

 

 

    We offer a fast reliable cost effective service and would welcome the opportunity       t  to quote without obligation for your grounds maintenance and garden requirements

Verticutting Bowling Green with Thatchaway 24" Walk Behind Verticutter

Bowls Green Verticut at 2mm below the 4mm Height of Mowing Cut in two directions using the ThatchAway 24" Walk Behind Verticutter

Does an absolute fantastic job , very clean , no debris left behind due to the 1mm Tungsten Tipped fan force blades , spaced at 10mm apart

When i turned up , one of the members commented " Oh, we forgot you was coming today , we just mowed the green , you wont get anything off it today"......well...here are the results.....

Just look at the " Latereral Grasses" in the box ,some of them up to an 1" long, these are the side shoots of the plant which never get caught by your cylinder mower, which die off and contribute to your thatch layer as well as leaving a bobbly mat on the surface

Cleaning out these laterals will help smooth the surface , and in time should give you a uniform playing surface as well as increasing green speed without having to sacrifice height of cut.

 

 

Just some of the Laterals..............

 

 



 

 

More and more of our Bowls Clubs are seeing the benefits of regular monthly Verticutting and there is no disruption to the playing surface


 

Finished .....note: clean as a whistle

Verticutting

Verticutting is the removal of grass growth which is horizontal, along with stolons and debris to produce a clean, fresh, well ventilated surface as the ideal environment for healthy growth. The soil surface will not be touched during this action

The "finer" species you have will be of a creeping growth habit ie stolons, rhizomes etc so some kind of "cleaning out" programme is required as they are excessive thatch producers

Never Cut Below 5mm on your green or you will start to loose the food stored in the plant and it will die and not re produce.

• Grass species.
  - Creeping bent can be a big thatch producer and requires regular coring or top-dressing to dilute the thatch.
  - Fescues produce thatch which has a high lignin content that takes longer to break down naturally.
• Nutrition.
  - Excessive N can produce a grass factory. Thatch is therefore produced faster than it can break down naturally.

Thatchaway 24" Walk Behind Verticutter available now For Hire

The Thatch Away 24" Walk Behind Verticutter is designed to give you the highest performance available in any pedestrian Verticutter is now available at Dean Broughton Turfcare

It incorporate the revolutionary, patent pending, Fan-Force tungsten tipped blades which cut far cleaner that ordinary blades due to their Tungsten tips which resist wear.

605 Tungsten Tips at 10mm spacing’s working across the 24” width for fast effective thatch removal.

The special fan fins create a powerful air stream which sucks the thatch up off the surface and blasts it into the grassbox. Now you don't need to go over the surface a second time with a sweeper to remove the debris that other verticutters leave behind.

This is the most effective Pedestrian Verticutter on the market.

Verticutting or Vertical Mowing works above ground level rather than below the surface as with Scarifying, regular monthly use through the playing season can deliver many benefits to your Turfgrass:

·         Cleans out dying leaf matter and removes excess turf growth

·         Provides channels for water infiltration

·         Opens turf canopy so sunlight and nutrients can settle in to soil

·         Promotes healthy new growth

·         Prepares seedbed for overseeding

·         Prunes lateral grass aiding turf density

·         Produces an upright grass prior to mowing to give a cleaner more consistent cut

·         Increases air movement around the base of the plant

·         Gives an increase to green speed

·         It helps in the preparation of firm, fast, smooth and true surfaces on which to play

·         Annual Meadow Grass is a quick growing weed that does not naturally create a good playing surface without intensive Verticutting

• Encourages grass to stand up straighter, promoting a smooth ball roll

Groundsman 345HD Woodford -cum- Membris Bowls Club

In season Needle Tining with 5/162 dia Clusters at inch and a quarter spacings....

Lovely Job......

"Needle Tining" or "Cluster Tining" with a Groundsman 345 Aerator

In season "Needle Tining" or "Cluster Tining" with a Groundsman 345 Aerator on a Bowls Green

With the Vertical Action there is no disruption to the playing surface, the finshed effect is a "Knitting Needle" dia hole, only 5/16" in dia at quite a dense spacing of inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter, so the green is peppered with shallow holes.

All we doing is keeping the playing surface open and letting
it breathe , does a fantastic job especially prior to feed and fertiliser applications aiding the ingress of product , plus aiding surface drainage

As you can see, cluster tines leave no surfcace disruption
Regular monthly Needle tining can transform a green over a season

To quote a local bowls club chairman " Dean, this time last year our green was one of the poorest in our league , following your " little and often " approach to maintenance it's now one of the best greens in our league"

And the savings made in not having to buy any "miracle cure" products has reduced the maintenance costs, reduced disease costs ,increased root depth with helps the plant to become more drought resistant, plus the improved quality of the green has not only help retain existing members , but brought in several new members for the new season
