European Turfgrass
Laboratories Ltd (ETL)
provides an independent
and unbiased service for
the analysis of soils, sand,
peat, gravel, rootzone and
other materials specifically
for the turfgrass and
landscape industries.
Why Test with ETL?
Having materials tested provides an invaluable and essential tool for golf course architects, agronomists, course superintendents, and groundsmen in making an informed decision on which materials are right for you and your projects needs.
Testing at ETL can provide data to help with:
• Selecting materials for new construction projects• Identifying problems with rootzones or topdressings• Recommending soil nutrient levels• Ensuring materials are compatible• Choosing suitable bunker sand• Determining suitable construction depths for different materials• Ensuring irrigation water is fit for use
Providing accurate and independent analysis of materials gives you the comfort of knowing that Europe’s first A2LA-accredited and USGA approved laboratory is working together with you and for you.

European TurfgrassLaboratories Ltd
European TurfgrassLaboratories Ltd (ETL)provides an independentand unbiased service forthe analysis of soils, sand,peat, gravel, rootzone andother materials specificallyfor the turfgrass andlandscape industries.
How Do We Test?
As an A2LA-accredited laboratory (Geotechnical – Putting Green Materials) and 1 out of only 10 in the world on the USGA approved list of physical soil testing laboratories, ETL’s scope of accreditation
comprises of a variety of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) methods – as listed in the “2004 USGA Recommendations for a Method of Putting Green Construction.”
Producing accurate and reliable test results as quickly as possibleis essential.
By taking part in the USGA Proficiency Testing Program (where samples are sent quarterly to all participating laboratories for testing and results statistically analysed), ETL remains one of the leading centres for rootzone material testing.
Who Do We Test For?
Since 1996 when ETL was formed, we have been testing materials for many of the world’s leading golf clubs, football clubs, national stadiums, racecourses and other natural grass sports surfaces.
ETL’s market began in the UK and Ireland and has rapidly expanded across Europe into Africa, India, Middle East, Australasia and South America.
Golf course architects, agronomist, material suppliers, contractors, local authorities and government agencies use our testing services extensively during project planning and construction to ensure all materials are conforming to their project’s specifications.
