End of Season Maintenance

After a busy summer season, it is crucial for groundskeepers to conduct maintenance tasks to restore the green's condition. Scarifying helps remove thatch, while aeration promotes healthy growth by facilitating water and oxygen circulation. Top dressing and nutrition application are essential steps to ensure the turf's health and prevent moss growth. Fertilising at the end of the season is vital to replenish soil nutrients and address imbalances caused by winter conditions.

Mowing and Overseeding

Mowing plays a significant role in maintaining a high-performance bowling green, with adjustments in height recommended throughout the seasons. Overseeding during Autumn renovation helps rejuvenate the turf and address wear and tear issues. High-quality grass seed applications, following aeration and top dressing, contribute to the green's overall health and appearance.
