Creating a high-quality golf green on East Yorkshire’s heavy clay soil takes more than simply clearing the garden. It requires careful ground preparation, effective drainage and a surface designed for a smooth, realistic ball roll.
For a luxury home near the A1079, Easigrass East Riding worked with its sister company, RL Golf Construction, to transform a waterlogged, high-maintenance garden into a 70m² private practice green for year-round use.
Solving East Yorkshire’s Clay Soil Problems
Homes in Beverley, Cottingham and Willerby often have heavy clay soil. Clay holds water, which can leave gardens muddy and difficult to use after periods of rain.
To create a stable base, our BALI-accredited installation team:
- Excavated the existing topsoil.
- Installed a strong foundation made from crushed MOT Type 1 stone.
- Added a high-porosity geotextile membrane to improve drainage.
- Applied and compacted a fine granite dust layer to create a smooth finish.
- Installed a specialist shockpad beneath the artificial grass.
This layered construction helps water drain away quickly, prevents puddles and keeps the green stable throughout the year.
A Complete Short-Game Practice Area
The 70m² garden installation was designed to provide a realistic golfing experience while fitting naturally into the surrounding outdoor space.
It includes three specialist areas:
Nylon Pro putting surface
The main green uses dense, non-directional Nylon Pro fibres. This provides a smooth and consistent surface with realistic ball speed and roll, helping golfers practise putting and approach shots.
Tour Pro fringe
A durable Tour Pro fringe surrounds the green. Its dense polyethylene pile helps slow down chip shots, making it suitable for practising short-game control and wedge play.
Custom sand bunker
A professional-style bunker was built into the fringe and filled with white silica sand. This allows the homeowner to practise bunker shots at home.
