Bowling Green Maintenance for Horwich Bowling Club
Professional crown green mower servicing and repair for Horwich Bowling Club. 16 miles from Paul's workshop in Hyde. Serving clubs in the Bolton & District Crown Green Bowling League.
About Horwich Bowling Club
Horwich Bowling Club sits on the slopes below Rivington Pike, where the West Pennine Moors influence creates weather conditions that can be markedly different from lowland Bolton clubs just a few miles away. The additional rainfall and cooler temperatures mean the crown green requires more intensive management to achieve the same standard as clubs in more sheltered locations. At sixteen miles from PGT Repairs, the collection service is essential for the grounds team, who would struggle to transport heavy mowing equipment through Bolton and across to Hyde.
The elevated position near the West Pennine Moors brings cooler, wetter conditions. Equipment must be winterised thoroughly to prevent corrosion during the long off-season.
Crown Green Maintenance Requirements
Crown greens demand a cylinder mower that can follow the contour of the crown — the raised centre that gives these greens their name. The mower must cut at a consistent 4-6mm height while navigating the subtle slopes, requiring precise blade adjustment and a well-maintained roller mechanism.
Crown green maintenance is as much about understanding the contours as it is about mowing. The crown must be maintained at a consistent gradient — any deviation creates bias that affects play. This means the mower setup must be exact, and any wear in the height adjustment mechanism needs prompt attention.

“Paul attended our home address to repair and service our ride on mower. From the first contact I could tell Paul would be a good choice. He arrived early, got stuck in and had it up and running in a few hours. Despite the heat and awkward nature of the repair, he kept on until the job was done. A really good bloke to deal with, straight as a die and well priced work. I'd definately recommend him without hesistation”

“My petrol mower was running rough and needed a service. Phoned Paul, told him what was required and brought the mower over to his workshop early Saturday afternoon. It was ready for me to pick up 24hrs later. Price for the work was very reasonable as well - Thoroughly recommend getting in touch with Paul if you need your garden equipment servicing!”
