The ancient sport of Golf, originated in the rolling hills of Scotland and was of great joy to the Stuart Kings and Queens. Despite dating back for hundreds of years, our craftsmanship and technology has certainly grown since them. What remains is a deep understanding of the land chosen as the golfing site, and a deep respect for the sport itself.
Lake excavation can be a difficult task to manoeuvre and project manage; that is why it is always best to have the most knowledgeable team on site. We understand the geology behind sites and work to ensure that the lakes created out of necessary borrow pits are both aesthetically pleasing and compliant with all national legislation.
