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

Lawncare in Leicester.....Now is a Good Time to Aerate your Lawn!




 

 

Now is a Good Time to Aerate your Lawn!

 

Aerating your lawn has many benefits:

 

  • Improves air exchange between the soil and atmosphere
  • Improves fertiliser uptake and use
  • Reduces water run off and puddling
  • Promotes deeper healthier root growth
  • Reduces soil compaction
  • Enhances heat and drought stress tolerance
  • Introduces air in to thatch layer and rootzone enhancing thatch breakdown

 

Our Groundsman 345HD is a commercial machine with vertical action penetrating down to a depth of 5” and it’s only 32” wide allowing it to pass through a standard gateway.

 

Many of our Cricket and Bowling Club customers are seeing the benefits of regular Aeration

 

We also carry out commercially and domestically:

  • Hollow Tining
  • Micro/Needle Tining
  • Slit Tining
  • Verticutting
  • Linear Aeration/ Deep Scarification
  • Top Dressing
  • Moss Control
  • Fertiliser Application
  • Fungicide Application
  • Worm Control
  • Weed Control

 

Everyone’s lawn is different, we are not a franchise nor do we work to a fixed menu, we tailor a programme of work specific to your own circumstances

 

We have been looking after some of the Midlands most prestigious Cricket and Bowls Clubs since 1986
