DURING BOWLING GREEN CONVERSION
The sub-base is gently shaped, forming hips and valleys, while new drainage is set in place — creating a steady foundation for everything that follows.
Soon after, crushed rock is added and compacted, bringing stability and balance to the layers below.
Once that’s done, we lay a geo-fabric liner over the prepared base. In turn, it offers quiet support beneath the surface.
AFTER BOWLING GREEN CONVERSION
A new top rock layer is installed and laser graded, carefully fine-tuning the surface and preparing it for smooth, consistent play.
Meanwhile, the new GG3 woven carpet is carefully installed. Completing the playing surface and giving the green its finished look and feel.
With the green complete and commissioned to Australian Bowls Standards, it’s ready to be enjoyed — a well-balanced surface prepared for steady, enjoyable bowls.
DURING SAND-FILLED BOWLING GREEN CONVERSION
To kick things off, the new solid sub-base and top rock are now in place, carefully laser graded to Australian Bowls Standards. That way, the surface lines up and gets ready for the net stage.
The new synthetic turf is carefully laid, marking a key step as the green begins to take form.
Lastly, we gently work kiln-dried sand into the surface. Likewise, this helps the turf settle in and the base feel stable and even.
AFTER SAND-FILLED BOWLING GREEN CONVERSION
With the work wrapped up, members can head back to the sand-filled bowling green. What’s more, the surface stays steady and well-balanced. In the end, it’ll hold up for good play, shared moments, and everyday club life for years to come.
