Block Lining

The mowing of surfaces, especially winter games pitches, in wide blocks, or bands, typically 5.5-6.1m in width. This is typically carried on professional sports pitches with the use of pedestrian cylinder mowers, typically having a cutting width of 0.86m. For a 5.5m wide block this would typically equate to 7 passes of a mower, whilst for a 6.1m block this would be 8 passes. A small overlap of 8-12% will typically occur, ensuring no fine strip of uncut grass is left between passes.
