Key Processes
Site Establishment
A total field upgrade complete with sub surface drainage system and new Nullarbor Couch playing surface.
Ground Preparation
Removal of existing grass before sub grade was rotary hoed and laser levelled to suitable shape and grade within +/- 5mm.
Irrigation
Existing irrigation line decommissioned before the installation of a new field irrigation system.
Drainage
Drainage lines were trenched 8m apart with precision and depth control. Lateral drainage pipe was then installed then carefully backfilled and compacted to avoid subsequent settlement.
Final Levels
Premium sports blend top soil imported, then GPS laser graded and shaped to achieve desired contour.
Turf Installation
Nullarbor Couch was installed then fertilised with OxaMax then treated with Ronstar pre-emergent.
Maintenance
8 week intensive maintenance program consisting of cylinder mowing, top dressing, fertilising and pest and weed control.
Premium Drainage
- Installed using TrenchIt TCT Pro Elite
- Dual grade laser depth control

- Clean, straight and evenly spaced trenches
