Turf Health

One of the reasons Bernhard and Company have been so successful in the grinding business is because we have been at the forefront of what is known in the industry as "non-contact cutting". This is effectively the difference between trimming each blade of grass with a scalpel as opposed to tearing the top off by hand.

The Express Dual and Anglemaster system produces a surgically sharp cut, reducing damage to turf.

Dull or poorly sharpened mowers tear and shred grass blades rather than cut them. This shredding causes the tips of injured leaves to turn straw-brown and die within a few days. Such injuries also assist infectious agents to penetrate plants and cause disease.

Mowers should be sharpened and adjusted frequently to prevent excessive injury and to stimulate turgrass health.
