Golf project: spreading rootzone
Tennis: measuring out 4th court
Tennis: removing turf and soil
Golf project: the completed green
We initially marked out and sprayed off the turf with a total weedkiller, before stripping the turf off two weeks later. After aerating the soil remaining, we installed a drainage system which was connected in to the existing pipe drainage. We imported 60 tonnes of rootzone, which we spread to a depth of 100mm across the area and graded to create a tier on the putting green. Unfortunately, the weather put a hold on the project for the rest of the winter so we left the overseeding until early spring 2012. We used a Barenbrug 80/20 Fescue/Bent mix. Once overseeding was carried out, we nurtured the new surfaces over the summer, before opening the facility for use in the autumn term.
Tennis: sub base Jowett extension and relay
Extension to and relaying of new shockpad and carpet on sand filled artificial pitch - August to September 2007
The life of the carpet on this sand-filled artificial carpet had long passed its sell by date! The pitch was originally built in 1987 and the carpet was now twenty years old, but full of deteriorating lines and seams, and with the shockpad tiles separating underneath. The project enabled the pitch to be lengthened by six metres to meet current run off criteria for hockey. The existing fence was kept, with just a few new panels for the extended section. The old carpet and shockpad were ripped up. Disposal
Tennis: new tarmac going down
was a headache and would’ve been very costly but, by ringing around, we managed to give away all of the carpet and shockpad underlay to local golf courses and farmers to use as pathways, etc.
The existing tarmac base was inspected for cleanliness and structure to see if any work was needed to improve it. Only a few small patches were required to reinstate levels, but the surface was, surprisingly, sound in general. A new wet pour shockpad was laid, followed by the carpet, and filled with sand.
