Les Ormes Golf Club suffered with the problem of grass damage due to heavy pedestrian and golf cart use, resulting in worn, uneven and rutted slopes, tee areas and path ends which required a permanent remedial solution.
The Solution:
Following a review with a Boddingtons Technical Specialist, BodPave®40 was chosen as the most suitable solution for the situation, as it offered a discreet, porous and high load bearing solution, allowing all season use. Existing areas were excavated following the installation guidelines offered by Boddingtons. The BodPave®40 was installed on to a consolidated bedding layer above the newly installed free draining sub-base. The integral ground spikes and ‘quickconnect’ hook and loop fittings ensured that a firm and stable surface was achieved. A rootzone mix was used to fill select areas of the installation, then seeded, and a custom mix of free-draining and porous stone and sea-shell used in other areas.

Conclusion:
With regular watering, the newly sown seed established within a matter of weeks, creating a discreetly reinforced surface, perfectly blending with the natural golf course surroundings. The open cell structure of BodPave®40 aids optimum grass growth and promotes 100% natural rainwater penetration. The site is now free from rutting and uneven wear, offering members and visitors safe and attractive course access.
