ratissage qui rafraîchit l'aspect de la pelouse

Explanation:
L'anglais a le chic pour dire deux fois la même chose.
Ici, ce qu'il faudrait savoir, c'est : est-ce que la fonction grooming fait plus que ratisser (j'ai jamais entendu parler de brosser une pelouse et ça me fait irrésistible ment penser à « prendre une brosse sur la pelouse », qui, icite, signifie autre chose)
Nettoyer et ratisser la pelouse, mais ce truc nettoie-t-il vraiment ?
Redresser le brin d'herbe, c'est mignon aussi

le brossage au Turf-groomer

Explanation:
"Enfin, une toute dernière technique parachève le travail. Il s'agit du "brossage" qui, à l'aide d'un turf-groomer, aplanit le gazon de façon uniforme donnant cet aspect " moquette " à la surface du green. L'essentiel de la journée s'achève alors vers dix heures. Par la suite quelques retouches seront apportées si besoin est."
