One of the most important and labour-intensive events in the Bowling Green maintenance calendar is the autumn renovation programme. This usually comprises of hollow tining or aggressive thatch removal. This is then followed by overseeding to produce a finer sward and topdressing to level the green where necessary.
A granular wetting agent is applied to help prevent dry patch disease issues. Finally, we apply a high potassium fertiliser to encourage growth and strength prior to the winter months. Each of our autumn renovation programme services include overseeding, wetting agent and an application of fertiliser but vary in terms of thatch removal, topdressing and aeration. We offer GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE programmes.
