TDI has really hit their stride now. Removal of the existing turf has moved along nicely and is into Dogwood 4 and 6. This process creates a enormous amount of material, but physical removal along with chemical removal ensures the best possible result to prevent the old turf from growing back. Once the removal of the old turf is complete and the final shaping of areas has been completed a third bermudagrass eradication application will be applied to kill off any remaining turf that has survived. All the stripped material is hauled to bury pits around the course. These bury pits serve as dumping areas to dispose of the old grass but also create dirt for feature shaping. The bury pits locations are placed in out of play areas and new subtle features are shaped in once the old material is buried under the excavated dirt. Below are pictures of this process.
