Traditional golf course drainage techniques have tended to be quite cost prohibitive, especially for the greens. The price tag for reconstructing a single golf green to USGA specification can be in the region of £25,000. In order to address this concern, Shelton has developed two machines capable of draining a golf green with minimal disturbance, at a fraction of the rebuilding cost.
This particular range has been developed to cause the least possible damage to the green itself, enabling play to resume almost immediately afterwards. Shelton specialises in manufacturing machinery for golf green drainage, which is available for world wide distribution.
The first of these is the single leg Shelton Gravel Band Drainer. The machine installs narrow bands of gravel, or Lytag®, at depths from 100mm to 350mm. Ground conditions must be moist for the machine to work effectively, so this work is usually carried out during the winter months.

The second machine we offer is the Shelton System 25™, which installs bands of gravel, or Lytag®, from 200mm to 450mm deep using a wheeled trencher coupled to a vibrating backfilling hopper. 25mm land drainage pipe can also be installed in a one-pass operation. Ground conditions must be dry or only slightly moist for this machine to operate efficiently.

Under the Shelton system, golf greens can now be drained at a fraction of the cost of a complete reconstruction. Photographs and articles on golf course drainage projects completed using Shelton techniques are available on request.
