How to Install a Putting Green and Artificial Turf Backyard Remodel #5

[@spaceclothingco]

I have been watching your fathers videos for years now. I have a landscaping company here in Texas and I’m digging your videos brother keep up the good work

[@cristogommi]

Your pops taught you well! Attention to detail is 🔥

[@SmartTurf]

This is a very informative video. We've been sharing with customers, it's that good.

[@DJarell7219]

Yeah, I’m building my first one now. Been watching a lot of videos looking at installers meeting people it’s gonna be a fun project. I don’t know how it’s gonna turn out but it’s gonna be THERAPEUTIC.

[@bugged120]

I like the putting green idea. Very impressive result!

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

[@ArcaneHeraldZaza]

Great breakdown of all the steps!! Thanks for posting these!

[@coryCuc]

Just started watching your videos and I have to say I love your attention to detail! I've seen other turf installers that don't go the extra mile to ensure the best quality finish like you do. Kudos.

[@robertpirmann9194]

Excellent job across the board,

[@brianvandermeulen7349]

Great job of describing all the little details

[@itachiswish9002]

Thanks

[@tulio3571]

Beautiful.

[@edgargaribaldi248]

Me gusto mucho ese trabajo

[@amoscardoza5253]

You guys rock! I appreciate all knowledge you share. Thank you

At 17:04, I think those are staples on the putting green?!?!? I am still trying to find out if the putting green need any nails at all. I am now leaning towards Yes. Perhaps using nails with a smaller head. i.e. finishing nail.

[@JandDturf]

Yes we use like finishing nails on all our putting green installations

[@garfieldcampbell8847]

Nice work.. now I know I need a pro to do mine

[@longbeachturf]

Nice work on this one.

[@rousalini]

How much does something like this cost

[@zandercerlong9693]

Installed turf can be anywhere from 15-25 per square foot. So extremely expensive

[@barryhunnel2420]

The correct way to place the cup is to use a 3:1 sand to cement mix 6 inches wide and deep around the cup and 6 inches of 1/2 to 3/4 rock under the cup for drainage. Also wiggle the cup in your mix as it can then be adjusted when grass is installed. Lower is better than higher when installing putting cup. A cup through your compacted sub grade is making a weak area when it is stepped on after moisture. KIDS are the true test as they will certainly jump up and down on the cup or place foreign objects in it loosening and creating a putting surface issue. Nice job on remainder of installation.

[@CharlotteThompson-v5b]

Wow excellent!

[@virginiavcr]

Very generous information my friend, thank you!

[@dennydodd8122]

What a great video and great work my friend.

[@finned958]

There’s a patio cover gutter downspout that drains on to the level artificial turf. There’s no place for the water to go except to the putting green that’s slightly lower. You should gave added extra drainage pipes to the side yard. Luckily, it doesn’t rain much in California.

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

We ended up putting the downspout directly into the drains

[@williamakifer]

Also you should be at least 1/2" below the weep screed on the house..

[@Ray_1990]

looks amazing

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

TY

[@rickyortega1415]

Great video! Does it matter if the finish nails are galvanized or non-galvanized?

[@sethsmith3955]

Who manufactures the true you used and what weight is the turf on this job?

[@charlie-s_life]

Awesome work like always

[@tulio3571]

Hi there , how many inches of gravel and cg would you recommend and the brand of the putting green turf? If you don’t mind? Thank you

[@franklinaburto8434]

super clean job

[@melvinmartinez7446]

I will be a first timer to install turf, with a separate putting green. Do you have an idea for me what to look for as far as to approach this job

[@anfalmohamed7005]

Awesome job, are you guys in Tracy ca?

[@nconia]

What’s the name of the tool you used to cut out the holes? Where do you buy or rent one?

[@statsmini]

Is this Smart Turf you installed?

[@barrybranch3611]

Do you service San Bernardino area?

[@danielmalley6349]

Awesome job!!!have you ever had the big nails pull up or back out on job later down the road like years later was just curious thanks keep up the quality work

[@pochoroque]

I have my artificial turf around my car pad… it’s hold all sorts of maltreatment from getting ran over to the extreme Tampa Bay weather… and it’s as solid and anchored as deep rooted sod, not one budge (including the occasional mole trying to find its way out) I highly recommend artificial turf! -and I installed it myself! Just to note, florida has no real soil, it’s all corse dark sand, I thought that in time the nails would pop out… they haven’t!

[@m444ss]

that looks great!

[@JORJWELDER]

Great work ,nice explanation, thanks

[@RichardProbst-jh5np]

How much did you charge for this job? Ballpark?

[@adamcruz3172]

Is there a variation of the top sands spread over the top that might get hotter with sun than others?

[@ApHoney]

I know this is old, but may i make a few suggestions? To get a realistic putting green I'd recommend having a way to set the cups set 1" below putting surface. I know it's just a practice green so it doesn't really matter, but for me it would take that green to the next level. Also I wouldn't want it perfectly level, I'd want a small grade here or there

[@nicholelesassier1799]

Great video! getting turf and putting green installed later this month.

[@itachiswish9002]

No your not buddy.

[@peterrelf472]

Question - I would like to have an elevated area on my putting green 34’ x 15’ I notice this did create a couple small wrinkles near the point of elevation. Do you have a video that shows how to remove wrinkles from a putting green? This video shows a few nails on the far side of the putting green that are removed as you position the rough edge by the home with the green edge. Your video offers fantastic detail. Thank you!

[@b0borden437]

Nice Job!

[@itachiswish9002]

Nice vid, can you work on your speech irregularities?

[@logansavick5231]

How did you get your putting green in place? Did you glue it down or did you wait to staple the actual turf to the putting green turf?

[@javiermendez7004]

This is awesome! How thick did you do your sand layer?

[@RolexDSSD]

Solid work !!!

[@marcusmcneil1712]

What gauge and length are the staples? I have 6 inch 11 gauge and they bend when I hammer them into the compacted base.

[@etepzaid4321]

Edger, when seeming the turf together why not over laying both sides one on top of the other flat on the ground and cut both at the same time and you’ll have seem? I hope it will helps.

[@juicegamez]

Hi, this is the first video I watched about installing this kind of turf. I’ve never done it before but I have been installing carpet over 30 years. Obviously, there’s a big difference, but also a lot of similarities. When you overlap, two pieces of carpet and cut through them, both, you run the risk of cutting the material “short”. In this case, I will call them blades of grass. So if you cut a bunch of them short, when it matches up to the full length blades, it will show a bit of a valley in the seam. Therefore, making it noticeable. FYI 👍🏼

[@shiznewski]

What is the brand of turf? Would like to buy that for my backyard green

[@rv7798]

Very informative

[@superior3384]

Looks great 👍

[@jesusmontoya6386]

Thank you

[@Bamacountry88]

Beautiful work! I want a putting green..as a quick estimate what would just that putting green with two feet of fringe cost?

[@azr6917]

Perfect installation

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

TY we do our best

[@karilynbacallao6884]

Excellent work guys. Love the detailed video. Thanks for breaking everything down. Very detailed work. Planning on doing my own putting green. Quick question. How often should the 6” galvanized nails be installed? I saw you put a bunch in a row but how far apart are those rows? And I’m assuming all around the perimeter as well?? Thanks Again. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@yachtabaco]

What is the first cover you put over the 3/4 inch crushed concrete? Do you put down any weed barrier cloth or material before the crushed concrete??

[@Fatenarr]

After you marked the top of the putting green with chalk you didn’t show how you cut. Did you cut it from the top side with a razor blade?

[@wandyady7201]

Good job bro

[@TheHelicapt]

Don’t you need some drains on the turf to pick up run off from patio and surface water from rain ?

[@Djm9393]

Full send bro never lift mobbin deep 😏 🤙 stay humble nice already at 2k subs swish!

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

TY

[@2_cats_in_cats]

Nice job on the video thanks

[@sinancakir9477]

Clean . Love it

[@AK-ed6wc]

to be used and utilized 4:34

[@EdgarEC1]

Looks amazing 👏

[@tatethornton4856]

Great video! I have a small space and will be working by myself in Arizona early summertime. I want to just do the putting green part and no fringe to save time / hassle and utilize the small space with as much putting area as possible. Is this a terrible idea?

[@michaelbenavides6949]

What length is the grass/fringe ?

[@tex4x484]

What does DG stand for?

[@gianpaolobasso2874]

How did you hide the nails around the green? the nails that connect the green with turf.

[@rachelbarker1889]

What is the tool you used to dig out the holes for the putting cups? Was this something you made or something anyone can find or make?

[@rbarker33]

Its a golf course cup cutter - can easily find it online; first job was on a golf course and used those way too many times!

[@karilynbacallao6884]

Where are you guys located??

[@magocybernetico]

Cali

[@tylerpeterson3505]

How did you hide you staples around the putting green?

[@stefanmeier6763]

Great Job, thank you for sharing. (Y)

[@jayf2487]

When you chalked out the shape of your green did you cut it out from the top? I noticed your always cutting from the bottom and wouldn’t be able to see the chalk if you did that

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

yes we cut it from the top

[@IgnisMan]

Good Work 👌😎

[@alrightmeow6916]

I have almost an identical layout land wise I'd like to do something almost identical with. Anyone have a rough estimate of how much this job would have cost the home owner?

[@quasar6292]

How much is that job worth? I'm thinking of doing a three hole in my yard!

[@AlexMartinez-fk4oq]

How much did this job cost??

[@AlexMartinez-fk4oq]

Actually, just the turf job cost?

[@luischaparro6639]

What does DG mean? It goes above the 3/4 crushed concrete?

[@cbillings85]

Decomposed granite. It's used as a fine grading material and compacts well.

[@m444ss]

you def don't want the putting surface to be lumpy & bumpy, but it seems like you would want the putting surface to have some break for better practice

[@maria62446]

Why did you add the silica sand to the bottom of the green ?

[@tomroe2861]

Pretty Bad Ass. Great look

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

ty

[@billshort5700]

Just curious. Do you do the wave seam at head seams or all seams? My company does turf around playgrounds and XGrass told us years ago to avoid head seams at all costs

[@itachiswish9002]

All seams, obviously..

[@imyourhuckleberry4547]

Get it on

[@xijinping8578]

What was th3 cost of the proj3ct?

[@caseytoohey4777]

What turf do you usually use or recommend?

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

The premium quality since it will be there for 20 years plus

[@samgrossano6186]

what do you do if you dont have a compactor

[@juicegamez]

How much does the average installer make per hour?

[@michaelmckay]

how fast do the putting green run?

[@GolfBizz]

Should have put weed barrier down and cemented holes in place.

[@hombredeacero3131]

Awesome

[@royolao10]

Hi , how long are those nails?

[@markmanning6773]

Why in the world would you want a perfectly level putting green

[@samsungfan1041]

I know this is a super late response, in my case, I want a somewhat level one as I don’t play golf. I simply just want something to do outside with friends and family or the kids. Just a different way to look at it

[@shajankuriakose]

What brand/type of artifical turf did you use? Not for the putting green, but the rest of it.

[@moez462]

What’s the color name for this putting green?

[@parkerbam8647]

As a golfer, it would be nice to have a less level surface to mimic the real golf greens

[@loafandjug321]

This wouldn't work on the east coast because there's no drainage. The 3 holes would be full of water and mosquitoes. It does look great,.

[@christophers.4007]

I assume they didn't have money for that side yard with the AC? They should have stretched their budget just a bit to even put down gravel. That side yard looks rough just being dirt.

[@odellcompletelandscape384]

In the future they wanted to concrete it

[@espy7]

Using screeds rods or even a 3/4 or 1” cast iron pipe helps with leveling out. It’s super efficient.

[@antoniojara751]

what are the dimensions of that putting green?

[@JO3haNsum]

Wheres part 1?

[@paulvideo05]

you're relying on a harbor freight level?
