Don’t let bunkers driver you bonkers.
Save money and maintenance time using SoilGlue instead.
Bunkers and sand traps require an often under-appreciated amount of maintenance effort.
SoilGlue provides soil and sand stabilization, minimizing erosion. SoilGlue reduces bunker maintenance costs while increasing aesthetics.

SoilGlue: A Game Changer
Balancing playability with aesthetics is a large part of the game for golf course superintendents. What many golf course members, guests and players don’t expect is that these hazards—bunkers and sandtraps—can often make up one-third of maintenance budgets. SoilGlue can help free up some of those bunker expenses to use in other areas.
Regular, every day bunker management can be costly. Getting and maintaining the bunker conditions seen at championship games on television comes at such a substantial cost that golf course superintendents can take a huge budget hit if they try to keep up with those expectations. SoilGlue can provide an easy solution that conserves resources and saves substantial amounts of money, but without giving up on aesthetics and playability.
SoilGlue improves stability and color, easing bunker maintenance for golf course superintendents.
Don't be rough around the edges:
SoilGlue for bunker walls
Part of keeping bunkers looking great requires creating and maintaining a crisp edge. SoilGlue reduces the time-consuming, costly and labor-intensive manual maintenance of bunker walls and edges.
While SoilGlue can be used for dust suppression and reducing erosion on dirt roads, paths and construction sites, SoilGlue was designed by Geoponics with golf course superintendents’ bunkers and sand traps in mind.
Sands of time:
Extend the life of costly sand, reducing contamination with SoilGlue
SoilGlue extends the useful life of the bunker’s sand or other ground material, delaying costly replacement and minimizing maintenance.
SoilGlue reduces washing from bunker slopes caused by irrigation, wind and rain.
White sand creates some maintenance challenges because it shows contamination so easily. SoilGlue can dry with no colorant or colorant can be added. The colorant in SoilGlue can provide a high contrast visual appeal of the bunker walls to the sand traps’ contents while preventing contamination.
SoilGlue reduces or eliminates erosion, stabilizes the bunker faces and can enhance the effectiveness of the drainage system. Once applied, which is as easy as watering the ground, contaminates, such as stones, cannot migrate from the bunker cavity, contaminating the critical bunker sand.
When preparing for golf championships, the
Golf Course Superintendents Association of America has reported that it often takes crews of 10 to 20 people working full time for two to three weeks prior and during the event to achieve tournament ready bunkers. If a golf course were to set this standard on a regular basis, bunker maintenance could cost $300,000 annually, the GCSAA reported. For golf courses with maintenance budgets less than $1 million, this is obviously not an option. Even for golf courses with large budgets, conservation on bunker expenses can lead to greater use of resources somewhere else.
Not Just For Bunkers
SoilGlue is one of Geoponics' several innovations in turf management
Geoponics is the creator products that are game changers economically, agronomically and environmentally. SoilGlue is one of several products that revolutionized turf management.
Geoponics is also the creator of the unique soil oxygen uptake product
Agriox. Agriox breathes life into soil, causing a burst of growth and color with lasting benefits. Much more effective than mechanical soil aeration alone, Agriox provides the oxygen needed for plants to utilize the nutrients and fertilizers that are otherwise trapped in soil.
Geoponics is perhaps best known for the creation of the most popular turf colorant,
Endurant, which transformed the common practices of overseeding, over-watering, over-fertilizing and over-reliance on chemicals by using a colorant instead. This greatly reduced the environmental footprint of golf courses in the past 10 years and reduced costs for superintendents and members.
SoilGlue is another revolution for golf course superintendents, reducing costs and extending the use of valuable resources while bringing ease to an otherwise challenging aspect of the turf management job.
Meanwhile, SoilGlue is not just for bunkers. SoilGlue can also be applied to dirt roads, parking lots and paths. SoilGlue is effective for dust suppression, erosion control and soil stabilization wherever it may be needed-- both on and off golf courses.
