The product has already been proven
on surrounding developments around
golf courses, including residential areas
and the outer contours of courses.
Often, on these sites, an application
of Profile’s Flexterra® ET-FGM or
ProMatrix™ EFM will be applied on
top of the ProGanics to stabilize the
slope and provide an ideal matrix for
the seed to germinate.
With a full line of product solutions
for slope stabilization and vegetative
establishment, Profile offers golf course
designers a range of tools to tackle
challenging sites. The company in
recent years has had world-class success
with sand dune stabilization at Trump
International in Scotland; modifying
desert sands in places like Qatar and
the United Arab Emirates; and has
offered root zone solutions for several
golf course projects that have earned
‘Renovation of the Year’ designations.
“We are proud of the line of products
that we offer, but we are constantly
focusing on the need to test soils first,
before any product recommendations
are made,” said Betulius. “We believe
strongly that if we can fix the soil first,
it becomes far easier to select vegetation
and establish growth on a site. The
key to all of that is a good growing
environment for the plant.”

High quality grass development can be accelerated on depleted soils,
by applying growing media through a hydroseeding machine
On these challenging sites, ProGanics is applied to depleted soils and then covered with
Flexterra FGM to stabilize slopes and maximize erosion control
