The use of a mechanical drill to create holes in a turf surface and into the soil profile to a suitable depth (typically 200mm or greater). The aim can be to:
1. help speed up the removal of water from a surface. The drilled holes will be filled with a porous material, such as a uniform particle sized sand. A drill and fill activity will typically be a localised affair, focusing on an area that might retain water a lot longer than surrounding areas.
