Step 1: Remove any areas of silt deposits, leaves, sticks, weeds and any other debris that may be inside of the bunkers.
Step 2: Edge the lip of the bunkers with a flat shovel, sod knife or in some cases a string trimmer
Step 3: Redistribute sand.....the goal is to have around 4-6 inches of sand across the entire bunker with the exception of the high flashings where 2-4 inches is sufficient.
Step 4: Rake the entire bunker with a combination of hand rakes or the Toro sand pro seen below.
Seems easy enough, but this is a very time consuming process. We will move through them as quickly as possible and will begin maintaining them regularly from this point forward. The following pictures are a few of our finished products.
