DIY BACKYARD PUTTING GREENS

The DIY method is doable if you are handy and like having control over the result, both in design and budget. DIY doesn’t have to be spendy, but this option will be the most labor-intensive. If you’re up to the challenge: rent some equipment, call a few buddies with the promise of their favorite beverage, and get ready for a couple of days of landscaping.

The process looks a little like this:

Pick an area of your yard and dig out your green (about 6-8” deep, especially important in cold weather areas) plus additional width for fringe and rough.
Fill with heavy road gravel as a base for water drainage and top with fine gravel or road dust.
Level the surface with a plate compactor as you go.
Cover the area with landscape fabric to prevent weeds from popping up.
Using a post hole digger, make holes and place the cups.
Lay out the turf and secure the edges and seams with pegs or staples.
Add fringe or rough for short game practice and to mesh with remaining yard.
Cut out the holes from the turf with a utility knife.
Add infill to change green speed and help protect and support turf from wear and exposure.
