Deep Drill

Improve the performance of your playing surfaces with Deep Drill...

Deep Drill is similar to Drill & Fill but, as the name suggests, there is no fill, just drills. However, these special Deep Drill machines go deeper into the profile and have a tighter spacing (5” on center, 5/8” drill bit, up to 18” depth).  

This process punctures and churns sediment layers that have developed over many years at the soil/gravel ‘hanging water table interface.’ These sediment layers, although deep, create undesirable high moisture retention all the way to the playing surface. This condition usually results in soft surfaces and unhealthy turfgrass roots. As seen in the picture to the right, sometimes a small amount of pea gravel will be brought to the surface during the drilling process.  The process punctures and churns the top of the gravel layer where sediment accumulates.

Deep Drill not only alleviates and prevents subsurface sediment layers, it also dramatically improves gas exchange.  This process is done on greens constructed to USGA® specifications (sand-based greens with gravel layer)

Quotes from Deep Drill customers:

"Wow, I have roots like ropes!"

"They are definitely faster and firmer"

"I struggle much less with the ‘problem greens’ since the service" 

"My older sand-based greens perform like they're brand new"

Based on the results we’ve seen and the feedback we’ve received, we truly feel this is one of the best services offered to golf course Superintendents. Our clients usually become annual Deep Drillers because it just works so well.  

After clean up and rolling, Deep Drill surfaces are immediately playable.
