3 Ways To Improve Soil Stabilization On Your Golf Course

Many golf courses are located in environmentally fragile areas, which require heightened levels of protection from erosion. This makes soil stabilization efforts even more important on your golf course. Properly planned soil stabilization methods must be monitored and maintained to ensure your golf course continues to be open and protected from erosion.

Erosion Problems on Golf Courses
Wind and water erosion can be detrimental to a golf course. Soil stabilized golf courses reduce the risks from the harmful effects of erosion. Soil stabilized sand particles are bonded together to seal the sand in place, eliminating the chance of a sloping or eroding golf course bunker.

What are the key steps to improve soil stabilization on a golf course?
Without proper maintenance, soil erosion can lead to golf course closures and costly repairs. Avoid these problems by implementing the following steps to improve soil stabilization on your golf course.

1. Spot Vulnerable Areas on the Course
Every golf course is different, and some have higher risks of soil erosion. The climate, regional location, slope grade, and rainfall amounts can directly affect the rate and risk of soil erosion.  Monitor areas that are more susceptible to erosion, such as steep slopes that lack vegetation and high traffic areas for golf carts. 
2. Fortify Impacted Areas
Soil erosion can cause long-term damage to golf courses and make some areas unplayable. Enhance the areas of the golf course that are the most vulnerable. Repair these areas with seeding, erosion control blankets, or re-building the soil to re-create the slope.
 3. Prevent Erosion 
Stop the soil erosion problem before it starts by choosing a soil stabilization method for your golf course. Areas with consistent problems require applying erosion control products such as water, chlorides, or chemical soil stabilizers such as our Envirotac line of products. 

Soil Stabilization Starts Now
Without taking steps for soil stabilization, erosion is inevitable, and courses can gradually fall into disrepair. Golf course managers and superintendents understand the importance of taking the proper actions to preserve a course's integrity with an environmentally safe and long-lasting solution.
