Nursery Renovation

There has been a bit of an increased need for sod due to some of the projects that we are encountering on the golf course. All of our sod has been coming off of the back of the driving range, so we decided that we would renovate the existing site where the green nursery used to be and utilize it again. This area is next to the soccer and event field and has recently been taken over by weeds. It was not ever properly irrigated so we connected a valve from a lateral line that was irrigating the soccer field and used that to surround the new nursery. By using leftover 1" PVC and Rain Bird 700 and 750 heads we were able to properly set up our nursery irrigation. After the irrigation was installed the main goal was to eliminate all of the weeds and add new sand. Drainage was already in place. We are currently in the stage of grading out the surface and will soon be adding seed. This will help fill our need for extra sod, especially on the putting greens.
