Baroness delivers productivity without compromising cut

For Adam Henderson, Head Groundsman at Greenock Morton Football Club, the challenge of maintaining a professional football pitch is made even tougher by the fact that, for much of the week, he’s doing it alone. For this reason, productivity and efficiency is everything when it comes to equipment and for mowing, an LM331 from Baroness is ticking all of the boxes.

Baroness delivers productivity without compromising cut

Joining the club in August 2025, Adam quickly found himself in charge of a busy stadium pitch, used for women’s fixtures and academy training alongside matches and training for the men’s first team – currently playing in the Scottish Championship. Together with a packed usage programme, he was also faced with managing the demands of a natural soil-based surface through one of the toughest Scottish winters in recent memory!

“When I started, we quickly had conversations about what was needed to help and, while I love hand cutting, when you’re one person trying to mow, line, water and keep on top of everything else I knew I needed something that would ease the workload” Adam explains. “I looked at a few options and was really impressed with the cut quality on the Baroness and the fact that it was well built but not heavy, meaning we’d be able to get it onto the pitch without leaving tyre marks or mess.”

The club took delivery of their Baroness LM331 from local dealers Hamilton Ross Group in October 2025. The LM331 is equipped with precision engineered cutting reels and unique mower arms which maintain down pressure for a consistently beautiful finish, delivered in double quick time. “I can cut the pitch in around an hour which then gives me the opportunity to get feeds down or other tasks done before a game or in limited weather windows.”

As Adam explains, the productivity boost proved especially valuable towards the end of the season. “When the hot weather came, the grass just took off and having the Baroness meant I could stay on top of cutting without everything else falling behind.”

“The beauty is I get speed and efficiency without a compromise on presentation, with the LM311 providing a finish that’s very close to what we see from a hand mower.” He continues, “Another big thing is that the units stay on cut for longer. A quick check is all it needs, saving time on set-up and enabling me to just get on with the job.”

PSD Groundscare Showcases Professional Lawn Care Solutions

PSD Groundscare returned to this year’s UK Lawn Care Association (UKLCA) Summer Festival with a clear objective – to demonstrate how professional lawn renovation equipment can help groundsmen, landscapers and lawn care specialists create healthier, stronger and more resilient turf.

PSD Groundscare Showcases Professional Lawn Care Solutions

Throughout the event, the PSD Groundscare team showcased the latest innovations from ELIET and SABO, giving visitors the opportunity to see first-hand how scarification, overseeding and topdressing form the foundations of successful professional lawn care programmes. From sports pitches and fine turf through to commercial landscaping and domestic lawn renovation, visitors were able to discuss complete lawn care solutions with the team.

One of the key themes throughout the festival was the importance of scarification as part of a proactive lawn maintenance programme. While mowing improves presentation, scarification improves the health of the lawn itself by removing thatch and moss, allowing water, oxygen and nutrients to reach the rootzone. The ELIET range of professional scarifiers demonstrated by PSD Groundscare enables contractors and grounds professionals to deliver healthier, denser and more resilient turf with greater efficiency.

PSD Groundscare also showcased the ELIET EcoCure Self-Propelled Topdresser, an innovative solution designed to distribute topdressing materials quickly and evenly following scarification and overseeding. The EcoCure helps improve surface levels, encourage stronger root development and create healthier playing and growing conditions, making it an ideal addition to any professional lawn renovation programme.

A particular highlight of the event was welcoming ELIET CEO, Frederic Lietaer, who travelled to support the exhibition and meet customers and industry professionals.

Frederic Lietaer said: “I would sincerely like to thank everyone for taking the time to visit our booth, it was a real pleasure to meet you all.”

Visitors explored the extensive ELIET lawn renovation range alongside the trusted SABO professional mower collection, with the PSD Groundscare team providing demonstrations, technical advice and practical guidance throughout the day.

Peter Mercer, UK Sales Manager at PSD Groundscare, said: “The UKLCA Summer Festival is one of the highlights of the year because it brings together professionals who are passionate about producing exceptional turf. It gave us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of scarification and complete lawn renovation, while showcasing the ELIET and SABO ranges, including the EcoCure Topdresser. We’d like to thank everyone who visited the stand and we look forward to continuing to support groundsmen and landscapers across the UK with the right machinery and expertise.” The festival reinforced PSD Groundscare’s commitment to supplying premium lawn care solutions backed by expert advice and industry-leading support. Whether maintaining sports turf, fine lawns or commercial landscapes, PSD Groundscare continues to help professionals achieve outstanding results through innovative equipment and technical expertise.
