Our Capabilities

Full Service Lab

Dedicated to the Design & Maintenance of traditional and specialized projects!

Traditional Root Zone Mixes

â–ª Sphagnum & Reed Sedge Peat blends.

â–ª Inorganic amendments: calcined clay, diatomaceous earth, zeolites.

â–ª Soil blends for matching existing “modified push-up” greens.​

Thoughtful combinations of organic and inorganic materials to create stable, healthy root zones that perform season after season.

High Performance Bunkers

Field research developed a bunker sand evaluation that more closely predicts performance on a course​

First lab to work with Better Billy Bunker polymer cemented gravel.

Conducted freeze-thaw testing and water movement.

Designed high performance bunker sands used in tournament bunkers.

​Trusted performance at the highest level of competition.

High Angularity – High Cu Root Zone Mixes

Specialized Application

Delivers exceptional firmness with unsurpassed consistency, ensuring cupping areas and low traffic areas putt the same while minimizing divots.

Accelerated Infiltration/Oxygenation

Balanced with higher water retention than achieved with “typical” root zone mixes.​​​​

Thick Root Systems

Below the cupcutter entering the end of August equating to excellent recovery from traffic wear & tear.

In PGA & U.S. Open Championship Venues

Golf course green constructed with a high-angularity, high-Cu root zone mix

Gravel Analysis

Permeability

Water flowing through gravel during permeability analysis

Measurement of water flow through tested gravel.

Bridging

Rounded gravel particles evaluated for bridging potential

Evaluation of particle interactions and bridging potential.

Capacity

Gravel and soil particles analyzed to predict capacity and flow

Prediction of capacity and flow of tested gravel.

ASTM & USGA Laboratory Testing

Testing Pursuant to USGA recommended ASTM protocols – dropped A2LA accreditation BUT participates in annual USGA Proficiency Testing Program.
