Many thousands of dollars are spent building just one green. But when you start experiencing high maintenance costs, you can't see what's happening underground… until now. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) locates and identifies common subsurface isses: uniformity of mix layers, condition of drainage systems and water saturation levels. GPR surveys are non-invasive and non-destructive. The technology is exceptionally effective when the surveyed area is man-made, for example on golf courses and sports fields. Below the Turf has surveyed more than 250 golf greens on more than 40 golf courses.
