Greens Aerification

 Preventative maintenance is an integral part of successful golf course management. Aeration is an extremely important maintenance practice.  Although it results in a temporary disruption of the green, aeration improves water penetration into the soil, reduces soil compaction, stimulates turf grass root growth for a healthier plant, helps control thatch build-up, and improves overall growing conditions. 

 

Fall Verticutting and Aerifiication 2014

 

Zoysia Fairway 5/8 Aerification and Verticutting.

  We have completed the Aerification process on all 45 Acres of Fairways and Tees and are open for play today.  We were very fortunate to be closed for the whole process.  It was a challenging 5 days for everyone and I am very appreciative of the staff for their tremendous efforts!         
  Aerification is one of those tools we use because it reduces organic matter (thatch), reduces soil compaction, Increases air exchange in the soil, water infiltration, and help promotes deeper rooting.

We aerified with 5/8 tine at 1.7 mph.
