Crown Green mower servicing around Ramsbottom
Paul works from his Hyde workshop and covers Ramsbottom, about 15 miles away. If you look after a crown green in the area, he can service and repair the petrol cylinder mowers used to cut it, sharpen blades and set the cutting height.
Most bowling club mowing happens between April and September, so the best time to book a service is before the season starts. Paul can advise on what a machine needs from a phone call or a few photos.
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.

Bowling Green Maintenance — FAQ
Crown Greens need a precision cylinder mower that cuts at 4-6mm consistently. The contour-following capability of a well-set cylinder mower is what separates a good crown green from a poor one.
For a bowling green mower used regularly through the season, a full pre-season service in February or March and blade sharpening every few weeks, depending on use, is a sensible routine. Paul will advise on what your machine needs.
Yes. Paul offers collection and delivery for Ramsbottom, about 15 miles from Hyde, which suits heavy cylinder mowers. Call 07342 239878 to arrange it.
Crown greens have a raised centre (the "crown") and are typically cut at 4-6mm. Flat greens are cut lower at 3-5mm and demand even greater precision. Both need cylinder mowers in excellent condition, but flat greens place the most extreme demands on blade sharpness and cutting height accuracy.
