Turf Surfaces—site assessment

You can assess your site to gain a better understanding of your playing surface, its needs and current water use. You can then also use this information to populate the Town Water Allocation Calculator. This will help you determine if you are applying too much water to your playing surface. This is a guide only and you should seek professional advice from irrigation professionals before making significant changes to your system or irrigation regime.

The following two videos demonstrate the process for determining soil type and playing surface dimensions.

Note to viewer: Please disregard the final statement in this video as it was filmed during South East Queensland's drought period, and any references to the water restrictions as these restriction requirements are no longer required.
