Aeration, Dethatching, Healing...All In The Name Of Quality Turf!!



The above photos show the processes involved with providing the kind of conditions we have here at Bellevue.  The necessary evils of aerating and verticutting will go a long way in providing a great golf course next season. We are currently in the process of verticutting fairways and aerating tees.  The fairway are done during periods of dry weather only and we will typically only get 1-2 fairways done a day.  We will complete around 4 tees a day.  The bottom picture shows the greens 1 week after aeration with 5/8" coring tines.  The holes are 60% healed over already thanks to a well timed fertilizer application and some rainfall from mother nature.
