BUSH SPORTS TURF
Topmarker Field Striping

TopMaker fraze‑mowing (commonly called “Koroing” or field stripping) is a fast, precise way to remove the top layer of vegetation, thatch and contaminated surface material without disturbing overall grade — ideal for POA control, dethatching, leveling, and infield lip removal. Bush Sports Turf operates TopMaker‑class equipment and trained crews to deliver large‑area restoration, emergency repairs, and prep work for sod or reseeding. We tailor depth, rotor selection and spoil handling to your field type and budget so you get maximum surface hygiene and rapid recovery.

Why owners choose TopMaker

• Chemical‑free POA control and vegetation removal.
• Remove organic layer and thatch down to specified depth (fraze mow depth typically adjustable up to ~50 mm depending on model).
• Rapid leveling of high spots and clean lip removal in baseball/softball infields.
• Side‑conveyor debris collection keeps adjacent areas clean and reduces cleanup time.
• Fast turnaround — fields can be topdressed, seeded/sodded, or in some cases returned to play quickly depending on scope.

What TopMaker / Fraze mowing covers

• Full‑field fraze mowing / field stripping to client depth specification.
• Targeted lip removal and infield soil skim for baseball/softball.
• De‑thatching and organic layer removal on sand‑cap and soil profiles.
• Leveling and high‑spot correction before laser grading or topdressing.
• Debris capture and off‑site disposal or reuse as topdressing material (as requested).

How it works

1. Site assessment and rootzone review (we advise depth and rotor selection).
2. Mobilize TopMaker machine with side conveyor + trailer; test passes on low‑use area.
3. Fraze mow to agreed depth; collect spoils into trailer or redistribute as agreed.
4. Follow‑up: grading/topdressing, seed/sod, or compaction/aeration as required.
5. Final report and photos for your records and procurement files.

Typical specs & logistics

• Working depth: adjustable (machine dependent; many models allow 0–50 mm). (campeyturfcare.com)
• Working width: model dependent — typical commercial TopMaker units range 1.2–2.5 m working widths. (campeyturfcare.com)
• Tractor/power needs and site access are specified in our proposal; we handle mobilization and debris hauling. (campeyturfcare.com)

Midwest & climate notes

We schedule fraze mowing and major surface work to avoid vulnerable freeze/thaw windows and to allow optimal reseeding windows in spring/fall. Our agronomist advises timing for best recovery in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Michigan.

Proof & experience

• We operate TopMaker‑class equipment and follow manufacturer recommendations for rotor selection and spoil handling. (Manufacturer technical references available on request.) (campeyturfcare.com)
• Typical delivered outcomes: reduced poa presence, thinner thatch layer, smoother playing surface, and cleaner infield lips (before/after photos and case studies available on request).
