Vertical Mowing







Some pictures from the last couple of days. The terrace and grass courts 1-6 were verticut three times each and the thatch was picked up and composted. This is even more aggressive and earlier in the season than our verticutting last year - it should produce healthier and firmer courts throughout the year.
