Square levelling

 

Your square may not be flat due to saddles forming on the ends creating humps which can effect bounce and drainage. These saddles are usually created over time by inappropriate repair work carried out to pitches during the playing season.

 

The square can be levelled using a Koro Field Topmaker machine prior to carrying out the end of season work.

The saddles (example at Terling CC highlighted in the photos October 2019 ) can be removed to create a flat surface before scarifying, fertilising, seeding and top dressing is done.

 

 

The picture below shows the square now flat after saddles being removed and the end of season work fully completed.

The picture below shows the square after its first cut and feed 4 weeks after the work was completed with the new surface developing nicely.
