Synthetic Bowling Greens Perth – Drainage, Installation & Grooming

At Green Planet Grass we understand that a great synthetic bowling green is much more than just artificial turf. Our Perth‑based team designs and builds playing surfaces that combine performance, durability and aesthetics – then keeps them in top condition through professional grooming and seasonal care.

In this guide you’ll learn how we create world‑class bowling greens, from preparing the foundation and engineering drainage to precision installation and ongoing maintenance. Whether you’re a bowls club looking to upgrade or a homeowner dreaming of a backyard green, we’ve got you covered.

The Foundation of Bowling Green

A reliable playing surface begins below the turf. We start with a laser‑levelled, compacted base that provides a perfectly smooth and even surface. Our installation crew uses high‑quality sub‑base materials and geotextile membranes to enhance stability and minimise movement. This engineered foundation not only supports the turf it also ensures proper drainage so you never have to worry about water pooling or surface inconsistencies.

Advanced Drainage Systems

Perth’s climate brings heavy winter rain and long, hot summers. To keep your green playable year‑round we design site‑specific drainage systems that include:

• Sloped bases that guide water flow naturally
• Perforated pipe networks to disperse excess water quickly
• Permeable turf backing to prevent waterlogging and microbial growth

These systems protect the turf from damage, prevent microbial growth, and keep the playing surface safe and consistent – regardless of WA’s seasonal rainfall.

Precision Installation

When it comes to bowling greens, precision is everything. Our installers use specialised equipment, including an On‑site Perforating Machine (OPM) – to customise turf drainage and ensure every seam, edge and infill is perfectly placed. We partner with KCL Sports to deliver projects that meet Bowls Australia and World Bowls specifications, giving you a tournament‑ready surface from day one.

Maintenance & longevity

Unlike natural grass, synthetic bowling greens require only occasional upkeep:

• Brushing to maintain turf structure
• Periodic cleaning
• Checking infill levels

We also provide ongoing maintenance packages – view our maintenance brochure.

Seasonal Care in WA

Western Australia’s climate brings challenges like UV exposure, high summer heat, and seasonal rainfall. Our tailored maintenance programs ensure your synthetic bowling green in Perth remains consistent, safe, and playable throughout the year.

Longevity & Performance

With proper care, our synthetic bowling greens provide over a decade of high-quality performance. The combination of premium turf, engineered drainage, and expert grooming ensures clubs and homeowners enjoy reliable, professional-standard greens for years to come.
