ADVANTAGES OF ROOTZONE GREENS

The USGA specification green profiles below illustrate the advantages of using our Rootzone Greens Turf in contrast with our Greens on Soil

Rootzone Greens

Instant compatibility between turf and rootzone ensures efficient water and nutrient infiltration and results in a deeper, healthier root system and quicker passage to play.

Greens On Soil

Water and nutrient retention in the indigenous soil layer may result in a shallower root habit. Rootzone based greens using Greens on Soil Turf may be slow to establish and require additional inputs.
