Basic Installation Method Putting Green<\/h2>\n

\"\"This putting green is being installed next to a hard concrete edge.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Excavate 3-5 inches of the native soil; an optional weed barrier may be laid down on top of the excavated area.<\/li>\n
  2. Fill in 4 inches with a crushed rock base, compacted to 90%-95% compaction, leaving 1 inch before reaching the height of the concrete edge. Lay 1\/4 inch of decomposed granite on top of the crushed rock base and make sure to compact this evenly.<\/li>\n
  3. Around the outer perimeter, attach seam tape to the sub-base with 5 inch, non-galvanized nails every foot.<\/li>\n
  4. Glue the putting green onto the seam tape and secure with 5 inch, non-galvanized nails every 3-6 inches around the perimeter and use 1 inch, non-galvanized staples every 3 square feet in the interior.<\/li>\n
  5. Now that the grass is laid out flat and attached, evenly spread .5 \u2013 1.5 pound(s) of infill per square foot, raking it into the thatch of the turf.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3. Lay 1\/4 inch of decomposed granite on top of the crushed rock base and make sure to compact this evenly.<\/li>\n
    4. Along the seam between the fringe and the putting green, attach seam tape to the sub-base with 5 inch non-galvanized nails every foot.<\/li>\n
    5. Glue the putting green and fringe onto the seam tape and secure with 5 inch, non-galvanized nails on the fringe side of the seam and 1 inch, non-galvanized staples on the putting green side.<\/li>\n
    6. Secure the fringe with 5 inch nails every 3-6 inches around the perimeter at approximately 1 inch away from the concrete edge as well as 1 inch staples every 3 square feet in the interior putting green.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Premium Installation Method Putting Green<\/h2>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      This putting green is being installed next to a hard concrete edge using a bend-a-board.<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Excavate 3-5 inches of the native soil; an optional weed barrier may be laid down on top of the excavated area.<\/li>\n
      2. Fill in 2 inches with a crushed rock base, compacted to 90%-95% compaction, leaving about 3 inches before reaching the height of the concrete edge.<\/li>\n
      3. Lay the bend-a- board around the entire perimeter. The bend-a- board is held in place with 12 inch composite stakes, five stakes per bend-a- board, held together by nailing or screwing the stake into the bend-a- board.<\/li>\n
      4. Fill in all but 1\/4 inch of the remaining area up to the top of the bend-a- board with crushed rock base.<\/li>\n
      5. Lay 1\/4 inch of decomposed granite on top of the crushed rock base and make sure to compact this evenly, this will be flush with the top of the bend-a- board.<\/li>\n
      6. Around the outer perimeter, attach seam tape to the sub-base with 1 inch non-galvanized staples into the bend-a- board every foot.<\/li>\n
      7. Glue the putting green onto the seam tape and secure with 1 inch, non-galvanized staples every 3-6 inches around the perimeter and every 3 square feet in the interior.<\/li>\n

        3. Lay the bend-a-board around the entire perimeter leaving about 1\/4 inch between the bend-a-board and concrete edge. The bend-a-board is held in place with 12 inch composite stakes, five stakes per bend-a-board, held together by nailing or screwing the stake into the bend-a-board.<\/li>\n
        4. Fill the remaining area with crushed rock base within a 1\/4 inch of the top of the bend-a-board.<\/li>\n
        5. Lay 1\/4 inch of decomposed granite on top of the crushed rock base and make sure to compact this evenly, this will be flush with the top of the bend-a-board.<\/li>\n
        6. Along the seam between the fringe and the putting green, attach seam tape to the sub-base with 5 inch, non-galvanized nails every foot.<\/li>\n
        7. Glue the putting green and fringe onto the seam tape and secure with 5 inch, non-galvanized nails on the fringe side of the seam and 1 inch, non-galvanized staples on the putting green side.<\/li>\n

Then evenly spread .5 \u2013 1.5 pound(s) of infill per square foot for the putting green and about 1-2 pounds of infill per square foot for the fringe, raking it into the thatch of the turf.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
