Don’t forget to factor in bowling green maintenance

The price of a new bowling green in Perth isn’t just about your upfront costs. Like any addition to your bowling club, you’ll need to factor in maintenance costs too.

When it comes to caring for your green, a synthetic surface is significantly cheaper than natural turf. Caring for live grass is likely to cost you around $25,000 per year, while caring for synthetic grass of the same size will only set you back $10,000 to $15,000 per year (depending on surface type).

As a rule of thumb, maintaining a synthetic bowling green costs half as much as maintaining a natural grass surface. That means you save on the following costs:

✔ Less equipment required
✔ No petrol needed for mowers
✔ Less chemicals needed for grass health
✔ Less water needed to maintain grass surface

A synthetic surface still needs to be kept clean, but this requires significantly less manual labour and helps reduce the overheads of your club.
