The Greens Encroachment Barrier
Places Installed:
Lee McLemore (1993)
Collier's Reserve (Naples, Fl)
Los Angeles Country Club (Los Angeles, CA)
Bel Air Country Club (Los Angeles, CA)
Installation:
Barrier material is 8″ in depth and installed just below the putting surface to stop Rhizomes. The Greens Barrier is installed by using patented pulling equipment 'The Line Ward'. The barrier is heated for flexibility installed in rolls up to 170' and fused together and buried with minimal cosmetic damage. The System includes the PVC barrier material that is 8" in depth and installed just below the putting surface that creates a permanent "Barrier" to stop Rhizomes. The top 4" of the barrier has a molded separation that has a tulip shaped track to allow for the custom designed edgers to go through the track and cut encroaching Stolons.
Edging:
The edging process consists of running the Turfco disc edger through the track, cutting the stolons attempting to cross into the putting surface. If the edging process is done every week during growing months the results can be 100% clean. Some hand pulling of stolons may be necessary if not done every week.
Track Cleaning and Adjustment Tool:
Track maintenance equipment is included to clean out, raise and or lower Barrier System. The Greens Encroachment Barrier at The Country Club of Birmingham installed March 1993. Picture taken 2025. 32 years NO ENCROACHMENT.

The Water Wick process is a patented method of injecting custom blended sand into sports fields, golf greens, tees and fairways. The Water Wick process consists of a 3 blade vibratory plow that passes through the soil leaving a one inch channel at depths from 8" to 12". That is filled with the chosen material and creates a French style drain that perks at over 400 inches per hour. Since March of 2002 Tom Wait has supervised thousands of feet of Water Wick drainage. In the past 10 years the Water Wick has a 100% success rate.
