Well documented process and inspirational! Bravo!!!! How long from start to finish did it take? Do you mind sharing the cost for supplies?

Nice job! My observations on how to convert your idea to me rectangular space. Similar on under turf ground prep. 1). Maybe buy the compactor from harbor freight instead of hourly rental then sell online after. 2) Just buy 6’ wide fescue from box store for border turf, cut in half length wise and install first around edges, no need to curve corners as with the length and width doesn’t really add much to the putt/putt. 3) sink cups, and install putting turf putting edges of putting turf under fescue (scrape a little bottom surface under underlay of fescue for the even look of interface). As for the preparation of the ground bore install of fescue & putt putt turf. (1) I have mostly hard clay dirt already, so just level that out (2) dry pour 1.5” of dry fill concrete over putt putt surface, make sure to install putting cups. This eliminates the expense of all that back fill rock and weed blocking.

Mike, yes I have had a fair amount of construction experience, but the rest of my crew was mostly my son and wife. The only equipment I had to rent was the compactor and the power broom. Lot of sweat and hard work though.

Thanks. It's still looking good after over 5 years. We're using it more frequently now during the Covid-19 quarantine. The costs for materials (turfs, base rock, fines, framing, turf nails, cups, flags, etc.) came out to around $5000. I had quotes for the completed project from over $15k to $20k but decided to do it ourselves.

That’s a good price! Hard work but best keeping the £10-15 in your pocket.

Hi kjelsone - your video inspired me to undertake a similar project in my garden in north germany! Thanks very very much for such a great vid. I have got a point where I am not sure how to continue. The base is laid and Ive got a 2-3 inch loose layer of fines on top - but it won't compact! Maybe my expectations are wrong or Ive got the wrong materials (Its been hard to find the right translation for crusher fines but I think i got it in the end). I wet the fines and compacted them with a vibrating plate compacter but as soon as they dried they became very loose again - if I walk on them then the nice flat surface is disturbed. Help!!! How did you overcome this? I would really appreciate you feedback as right now I feel like giving up :-( Danke Schön! Chris

@kjelsone 6 жыл бұрын

cheekymonkeyHH I’m not sure if it’s a case of too thick of a layer of the fines or not. I did a much thinner layer, wetted it down, compacted it and repeated this cycle. With a 2-3 in layer, I’d guess that you may have a difficult time getting it properly moistened to compact correctly for the entire depth. He amount of vibration (and compression) that you’d need may be too much for the vibrating compactor to accomplish. This is just my personal opinion though. I’ve no experience that indicate that my thoughts are correct. Good luck and let me know if it helps and if you’ve got additional questions.

@Cheeky_Hamburg 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I believe you are right. I think I badly miscalculated the top layer :-/ I will start raking it back and then I'll slowly compact it and then decide whether to add more layers or not. What a pain - my area is 150sqmeters - ca. 1500sq Feet so thats a lot of work coming up :-)) Once again thanks for your input. Chris

If I wanted to raise parts of my fringe, say, a foot from the middle of the green, how would you recommend I go about that? I was thinking of just adding more dirt to the areas I wanted before putting down base rock, but I wanted a second opinion.

@kjelsone 8 жыл бұрын

That would be quite a rise unless it's over a wide distance. The base rock and fines could form it OK, but I don't know that I'd rely on it maintaining the steep rise. Maybe you'd want to add concrete mix or something to make sure it holds better.

@derfelalternate4857 8 жыл бұрын

kjelsone OK thanks! Yea, the middle of the green is 6 yards from the fringe. I'm planning on making it so that I can practice chipping from an upslope.

@kjelsone 8 жыл бұрын

No, it is definitely not flat. It was designed first, for drainage and second to have breaks or rise/fall on most of the putts. We tested these breaks before putting down the turf with a mini basketball.

The turf cost around $3700. Other materials will vary based on your application. Our total materials cost was around $5000. We did all the work ourselves, which saved between $10-15k for the project from the bids we got.
