Leveling Sod on Greens

We were hoping that the last aerification to the greens was going to level the newly sodded areas on the greens which it did somewhat, but not enough.  As the greens mower goes lower we are picking out imperfections in the level which can be seen by scalping, thus we are changing up our plan.  Today, on top of verticutting  the greens we are hand tossing, levelawning, then dragging smooth these sodded areas.  The greens that we are addressing in part are 10 - 13, and 15.  Do not worry the bermudagrass is doing fine just between the higher levels of thatch in the sod along with minor imperfections we are not able to get the quality of cut I desire ... but we will.

Red Marks a Tree on 5 for Trimming

Trees, trees, trees.  It is that time of year again where I marked numerous trees for trimming for overseeding prep.  And every year I do someone believes the that ribbons on the trees is for their removal ... this is not the case ... just trimming to allow sunlight to reach the turf.  This sunlight becomes more and more important as the days grow shorter to improve the growth of the overseed.
