I'm looking in to a outdoor putting green wow probably the best install I've seen . And if I had to guess Edgar has some greens keeping experience one thing I've noticed is it is a 100 % better to cut holes after so you don't have cuping around the hole . You guys want to come to Nevada lol

Thats a possibility

[@J9XXL]

You guys are awesome with concrete, I could never do what y’all do. But I install turf for a living. Used many techniques, but this was not good. Sand on top of the base is horrible. Sand will shift. Always. It’s loose and will shift. You want to use a thin layer of decomposed granite (grey fines), fills low spots, packs smooth with a vibrating plate and now you have a smooth surface that doesn’t have any exposed rock, doesn’t make crunching noises when walking on it, and more importantly, will never shift. The big staples? Bad idea. Always visible and ugly, and if your ground is compacted hard they bend. Use the 3.5” finishing nails or seam tape/glue they are way less visible than those hideous stitches. Sand as infill? Sand has dirt and dirt will attract molds, fungus’ and can potentially grow weeds, and holds in moisture, you have to use a silica, vinyl type infill that contains no “sand”. And lastly, it’s ok to “Frankenstein” pieces in so long as you can’t see the seam, and all your grain is going the same direction. It appears there were parts where the grains weren’t lined up in the fringe, Which doesn’t look good with pieces going a different direction, and Bc of that those seams are visible. There were other techniques you used that I don’t, but I thought were ok, because there are many ways to skin a cat. But those ones I mentioned are a big deal. I’ve learned a lot about concrete from watching you guys, but take my advise on these things. For Turf is my jungle and I know it well. 😎😄

[@mattduffey5711]

Hey J L, I am about to seam together my fringe and green - and planned to use the landscape staples, 6", to overlap the fringe and green. But you recommend 3" nails...where would those go, only on the fringe seam, with the fringe tucked under the green? Is the green secured down with anything then, or does the infill simply hold it in place?

[@yeahyeah4244]

That’s very helpful, thanks for the tips!

[@michaelconroy5206]

I also install turf for a living and this was hard to watch. I will completely agree with the gentleman who first commented. I glue everything then stake the perimeter. I would have been fired for putting in all those SOD STAPLES.

[@J9XXL]

Matt Duffey terribly sorry as I’m just seeing your comment. The guy who just commented was the only alert I have ever got off this comment lol. Hope your green turned out well. But those 3.5” nails are finishing nails, and you can get at any hardware store. Even in a years time, I have changed my technique. I now create my entire outline of the putting green, with 2” bendaboard. My fringe and green line up and get cut to the shape, and I staple it all down. No putting any nails on any side of the turf. Secure, strong, and you can’t see any nail head marks. 👌🏽

[@viliamilatu1271]

I also form putting green with bender board but...i wrap the green over the bender board 2inches then staple to the side of bender board. Then base material for fringe goes up against that and kinda sandwich it in. Then when i lay fringe i tuck edges, 1/4" or so, with carpet tucker and mini sledgehammer.. its just how i do it.

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

You guys kicked ass on that...looks great!

Great work here!!! I did notice you nailed in some landscaping staples directly on the putting green as well. After you put in all the nails/staples between the putting green and artificial turf to secure things -- safe to assume you removed the staples that were directly on the putting green?

nice job. What grain direction did you lay the fringe relative to the putting green? All one direction? Or is it better to have the fringe direction facing the putting green all the way around?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Same way all the way around

[@sherwoodvalleypools262]

AWESOME JOB! Materials list? nails and staples? cup hole cutter? so no nails in the putting surface, just stretch and staple at the ends? I am going to try one at my house then install some at my customers here in Pittsburgh PA

Good idea GL

Beautiful

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Nice. It seems kind of small though, considering all the labour that went into it. I think I'd want one at least 50% larger, or maybe twice the size.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

TY Yes

[@TahirChaudhryartist]

You could have painted the pins and nails all green first so it would match the grass.

[@KeanuChance]

can i do this design with 12x 6 turf?

[@OfftoShambala]

Could you plant real low growing clover and rye or something around the putting green? Would that degrade the underlay too fast at the edges? Or if there’s a finest possible line of edging between the turf and the grow area, would that work!

[@russellrobinson8139]

Great video. Not in your area but curious to know if this concrete mix can be bought at a Home Depot or Lowe's? Or, would your recommend buying elsewhere from these two selections?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Both suppliers should have something comparable

What is another name for that base you use I can’t find the 1/8 concrete mix here in Florida

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

[@grantcosta4598]

Great job! I’m curious if you have any issues with the nails/staples getting rusty? I did a little sample for a couple weeks with the staples and noticed they came out pretty rusty. I’m concerned about people stepping on the turf with bare feet

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No worries, the infill should cover

[@pjtv995]

Do you pull the staples out of the putting green once you get the fringe part stapled in?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes

[@jtfancher]

Do you leave the first staples you put in the putting green to hold the turf for seaming?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes

[@unrealheros517]

Hey I know this video was a little while ago but do you know the size or sqft of this putting green?

[@bbrewer609]

I followed everything you did but unfortunately I saw this video after completion, I used 30 grit sand underneath the putting surface and it is too soft when you walk on it even after tamping and rolling. Im guessing 20 grit sand on top of the hard layer would get rid of that then rake 30 grit sand into the top putting surface not below?

[@omerkeshet3902]

Why do you actually need to put the fine sand on top of the putting green at the end? What does it serve?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Keeps the blades up

[@19993gt]

I’m installing 500sq ft of artificial grass rn, I’m one inch below grade of the surrounding concrete. I think it’s subjective. But will it look better if I raised the grade of the base a little higher.

Yes I concur
