Vertical Mowing


The crew has been hard at work on the grass courts. Using our mower with special cutting units on, we have been vertical mowing or verticutting. This removes dead organic matter that can build up from the prolific rooting and stems of the grass plants. Too much organic matter will make the courts soft and they will not drain well.
