Drainage improvements and upgrades

This winter we are making numerous improvements to the drainage systems on both courses.  The plastic catch basins below may work fine in your yard, but in a commercial setting such as a golf course, more heavy duty basins are necessary. 

 
Heavy duty PVC basins such as the ones below cost around $200 each.  We are manufacturing our own using extra pipe we have around the shop for $50 each.  These more durable replacements will be able to withstand the weight of a 4-ton tractor much better that the residential plastic drains above.
 


You may also notice the new rock around some basins in native areas.  This is done in an effort to keep debris from blocking the drains during heavy rains.  Now is a great time to take care of these housekeeping issues ahead of the summer rains.
