For this project at London Heathrow,
Evergreens LazyLawn we asked to design and install a custom putting green
on the roof of the 6th floor Arora International Hotel. Before installation
roofing contractors moved a series of roof ducts and soil pipes to new
locations before installing a raised deck to clear the remainder of the
ducks and roof structure, this also allowed for the hole cups to be sunk
into the position required.
Before the green could be installed 200sqm of putting green surface and
150sqm of Lazy Grass fringe were lifted by crane up to the required floor
along with 3 tonne of sand and 2 tonne of rubber all or which were used
during the installation.
The green was pre-designed and approved by cad drawing this was then cut
into the 18mm rubber base to provide a firm base for the green whilst
providing an accurate feel. At this time rubber undulations were placed
below the 18mm rubber this gave the green shape and a challenging putting
experience. The nylon surface was then rolled over the rubber base and
cut to shape. Once this was done the Lazy Grass fringe was installed to
provide chipping areas around the green.
