Fraize Mowing

This system is now widely used in the U.K by most Premiership Clubs, Local Authorities and schools. There has been extensive and ongoing research into the best type of grass species for sports pitches. The desired grass species on a pitch is perennial ryegrass. This type of grass stands up to wear and tear better and recovers faster after play. If not looked after properly the pitches can become infested with weeds and meadow-grass (which is a comparatively shallow rooted grass).

Fraize mowing allows the removal of 90% of the organic material on the surface. Just 6mm of the surface material is removed. This leaves the majority of the root structure in place ready for immediate re-growth. It provides an ideal situation for direct seeding as the young grass plants do not have to compete as much with the existing tall grass.

This operation looks severe when carried out but the pitch can be completely recovered again with stronger, more desirable structure after only 8 weeks. Tony Patterson Sportsgrounds is one of the very few specialists in the industry that carries out this process.
