Cricket Square Re-furbishments

They usually involves stripping off the existing surface using a Koro Field Top Maker, special attention is given to the ends to remove “saddle” effect that often develops over the years. The depth of the strip depends on the thatch levels and the unevenness of the existing square.

Light cultivation to “key” in the new loam is then undertaken following the addition of the new loam which is chosen to match the existing conditions the square is then graded to achieve as smooth a surface as possible within the confines of the existing surround interface. Overseed and fertiliser application are the final operations, the final finish is achieved with highly skilled operators using specialized equipment.
