Deep Tine in March.......

Our first step was verti-cutting in two directions. Blowing the greens then mowing.
11" tines
We were able to get down to a depth of 9"
We choose to go with a large pattern of 4"x 8"

After topdressing and rolling, the greens will be back rolling good next week.
After clean-up with the holes filled.

Putting the sod cutter to work this week.....

 The guys working hard in the cold. We are lowering this curve beside the cart path.
 You can see in the pic how much of the cart path was covered. We removed about 10" of soil to get back to grade.
 Finished project 
 Next was on #12 you can see how water and silt collect in the low areas next to the path
 There is about 8-10" of build up beside the path. Also there is a hump in the rough that comes from the collection of silt.
 We removed the sod and cut down the grade .
 Another spot fixed.
 We also took this opportunity to fix the walk up to the black tees on #12
 This spot has been on my lists since I was hired. Next step is to get irrigation to this tee.

Laying sod on #2 . This area is subject to wash with rains or irrigation. The sod should help to stabilize the soil also give us another area to mulch.


Ready to mulch .....
