FAIRFIELD BOWLS CLUB
We were delighted to support Fairfield Bowls Club, a cherished community hub in Melbourne’s inner north, by transforming one of their greens into a Greengauge GG3 synthetic facility built to Australian Bowls Standards. The project began with careful site preparation and progressed to new subsurface drainage, timber plinths, precision blockwork, and quality ditch finishes—each step designed to ensure lasting strength and reliability.
To complete the upgrade, our team added a GG3 underlay and premium woven carpet, laser graded to meet competition standards. In addition, we provided a tailored care and maintenance manual so the club can preserve the green’s quality for years to come. With this transformation, Fairfield members and visitors now have a reliable, low-maintenance, and professional playing surface that will support their community for the future.
BEFORE & DURING BOWLING GREEN CONSTRUCTION
First, we removed the natural turf layer to begin site preparation.
We extended plumbing lines to the stormwater discharge pit in the garden bed. At the same time, we created an access point and constructed the base for the crushed rock ramp.
Meanwhile, we installed half of the drains, geofabric, and concrete footings. Soon after, we prepared these elements for the ‘base rock’, allowing truck access to the area.
Next, we compacted the bowling green base with a roller. This prepared the surface for the next layer of rock.
Once the base was set, we applied the first polymer coat to the green.
After the polymer dried, we installed the underlay onto the regulated base.
AFTER BOWLING GREEN CONSTRUCTION
With great care, we installed the green surface to Australian Bowls Standards. Precise tolerances were achieved throughout.
To finish, we cleared the site of any temporary structures and construction materials, ensuring a tidy presentation.
Finally, we handed over the finished project. We also provided a detailed care and maintenance manual to support ongoing green care.
