Greens

Robert Trent Jones Golf GreenFrom municipal courses to the most exclusive clubs, the AirGreen system is the premier golf drainage system for tee boxes and golf greens. The AirDrain geogrid creates a one-inch void below the sand root zone mix that allows gas exchange and produces a nearly perfect perched water table. An AirGreen grows the healthiest turf with the strongest roots and prevents puddling. Along with the time and labor savings of installation, superintendents enjoy reduced chemical use, irrigation, and general maintenance.

Outperform stone drainage with the unbeatable price and performance of an AirGreen golf drainage system.

• Replaces the 6 – 8 inch gravel drainage layer
• 100% Vertical Drainage under entire field surface
• Minimal site disturbance / Far less excavation and disposal
• Installation days saved over a gravel install
• Eliminates standing water
• Healthier turf / Stronger root system
• Nearly perfect perched water table
• Reduces maintenance
• Tested at 233 psi / 33,552 psf
• Significantly reduces daily irrigation needs
• Compact shipping reducing transportation costs

Bunkers

Cottonwood Creek BunkerBunkers are a problem. They clog - early and frequently. They have to be pumped out, and rebuilt too often. With an AirField drainage system, you will enjoy a longer bunker life without the problems related to gravel lockups and clogging. Our system creates an inch of water space beneath the sand while keeping the sand in place, moving water rapidly to the drain without clogging. This means less maintenance, and more time spent on other course objectives.


Stop pumping out your bunkers and enjoy more satisfying rounds with an AirGreen system.

With an AirField Systems natural turf drainage solution you have stronger roots and turf, root gas interchange, no puddling, and a tremendous reduction in chemical use and maintenance. All of the advantages of the unbeatable AirField natural sports technology beneath your tee boxes saves time and money with minimally invasive installation.
