Grounds Care for Uppermill Cricket Club

About Uppermill Cricket Club

Uppermill Cricket Club is a thriving village club in the heart of the Saddleworth villages, with a ground that reflects the pride the community takes in its sporting facilities. The club's mowers must cope with the lush grass growth that the Pennine rainfall encourages, requiring sharp blades and well-tuned engines to achieve a clean, even cut.

Uppermill sits in the heart of the Saddleworth villages, where community pride in the cricket club's ground is evident in its immaculate presentation. The Pennine rainfall drives vigorous grass growth that keeps mowers working at maximum capacity throughout the season, dulling blades faster than in drier locations. The marl-based soil is characteristic of the Saddleworth area and creates a distinctive playing surface that the local groundskeeping team has learned to manage expertly over many years. The ten-mile distance from PGT Repairs is navigable through the Tame Valley, and the club schedules blade sharpening visits strategically to ensure continuous cutting capability during peak growth periods.
