Lafayette Central Catholic – Sand Channel Drainage – Spartan Sand Cap – A Case Study #2 – Renovation Process


After the decision was made to install sand trenches and create a 2 inch sand cap, it was time to go to work.

The existing bluegrass/ryegrass/tall fescue surface was sprayed with Glyphosate in mid april and early May to ensure complete kill/control of the undesired playing surface.  Next, the surface was fraze mowed and recycled.



New irrigation laterals and heads were installed.



Finally, in late May, the drainage was installed on 14 ft centers and tied into existing perimeter drainage.






So, the heavy lifting was complete, now it was time to install the 2 inch cap of USGA rootzone sand, sprig with Northbridge bermudagrass and begin the grow-in.

  4. Estimating the right time for when the grass will be properly ready can be really hard.

  5. Baseball players in the back of atheistic public schools pollute the environment with baseballs by hitting baseballs into the woods into foul territory to make messes that results in ground pollution. There is something that is unfortunately left unsaid even on this nonprimitive mechanism known to earthlings as the internet. Another fact that is unmentioned is how baseball players get little red spots on their hands by using so much of their strength just to hit homeruns that results in little red spots next to the palms of their hands that they have to remove with corn blades. I have had to do that before.
