When tree roots compete with turf tree roots win almost all of the time. This is especially true when a green is being invaded by roots. The west side of the putting green and the back of 15 green have been suffering from these invaders over the last couple of years. So, this winter we installed plastic root barrier panels in both areas.
The panels lock together in a tongue-and-groove fashion creating a continuous barrier.
The picture below shows the putting green ready for the installation of 3 ft tall panels.
15 grn had very deep roots from the trees between it and Lakeside Rd. So, there we installed 4 ft tall panels.
