Cost Breakdown Diagram

This diagram shows how costs are distributed across base construction, turf, infill, shaping, and fringe/rough.

Deeper excavation, drainage, and shaping increase cost.

More shaping = more labour + more stone.

Short‑game zones add turf area and installation time.

Premium infill controls stimp speed and surface firmness.

This diagram shows how shaping affects cost — deeper breaks and multi‑tier greens require more stone and labour.
