About Walkden Bowling Club

Walkden Bowling Club maintains its crown green in the western part of Salford, where the proximity to the Lancashire plain brings slightly higher rainfall than the eastern boroughs. This additional moisture promotes vigorous grass growth but also means the mowing equipment must cope with cutting in wetter conditions more frequently. The Dennis cylinder mower needs to be particularly well-adjusted to cut cleanly on damp grass without tearing. At twelve miles from PGT Repairs, the collection service is valued by the grounds team for transporting the heavy mower for servicing.

The western Salford location means slightly higher rainfall than eastern boroughs. Equipment must cope with mowing in wetter conditions more frequently.

CROWN GREEN SPECIALIST MOWING

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.
