Projects
Muirfield Village Golf Club Renovation
Sodded bentgrass green surfaces and Kentucky bluegrass rough surrounds. Regrassed and grew in bentgrass fairways. Leveled and grew in bentgrass tees. Installed capillary concrete and drainage in all bunkers. Installed subsurface drainage in areas on fairways and approaches. Installed precision air units in all green surfaces. Installed new Toro Infinity irrigation heads and HDPE loops.
Augusta National Overseed
Spent a week at Augusta National helping with the overseeding process. The process involved scalping down the Bermuda grass and seeding into the existing mat with perennial ryegrass. The reason behind this process is to keep the lush green color and turf density throughout the cool season months.
Bel Air Cart Path Work
Converted Decomposed Granite (DG) and concrete cart paths into Stalok material. Stalok material is a permeable surface that does not allow for water to penetrate, has a natural look, and allows for softer ball impact and less arrant bounces. We also replaced our #1 tee cart path with a dark-grey colored cement while #1 tee was under construction. This will tie into the new clubhouse paths that are currently being remodeled.
Bel Air #1 Tee Construction
Reconstructed the #1 tee box because of the recent remodeling of the clubhouse. Replaced the forward, middle, and back tees. Each tee was built with a 70/30 mix to retain moisture while having a firm playing surface to handle normal wear and tear. All tees were drained, irrigated, as well as laser graded to ensure a level teeing surface. The tees were sodded with Tifway 2 bermudagrass to match the uniformity of the course.
Tree Removal and Pruning
Tree removal and pruning is essential to golf course maintenance. Tree removal allows for more air flow which allows for better turf health. Tree removal also plays a huge role in improving the aesthetics of the golf course. Pruning dead wood is essential for golfer safety.
Creek Restoration & Erosion Control
Erosion control is important not only for the safety of members and maintenance crew members, but will ensure the creek bank lasts for the next several decades. Gabion cages are used to reinforce the creek bank and improve the integrity of the creek. This will allow water to flow down the creek more efficiently during heavy rain events without eroding the soil beneath the turf.
