How to install your Bella Turf Putting Green Kit

[@rickjames1954]

This is such a thorough video, seriously great job. It's hard to believe that you would make such a good video and I would find myself watching it with no intention of doing it. The music will haunt my dreams.

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

Nice job,with my work schedule and my kid's after school activities mine should be done in 9 or 10 years,hopefully I still enjoy putting by then

[@fredwilliams5773]

Thank you for this video. Although I did not purchase your green kit, I was able to use this video as a tutorial of sorts for me to build my own. Thank you so much for the detailed documentation.

Awesome! That's the goal.

Step 1. Buy it. Step 2. Hire them to install it. Step 3. Enjoy it. I'll go play golf and leave them alone while they put it down the professional way. Great video!

[@chuckwagon1892]

Wellllll? Not sure if I'm incouraged or what? That was one heck of a nice video! Here's the thing... I am interested in making a couple (maybe 3 or 4) putting greens. I have room to make a nice little pitch-and-putt. Honestly, I had no idea of what is necessary And boy-oh-boy did I get a education! .... I'd say, that installation/demonstration, at first, made me think "wow, thats a lot of work but, look at that! BEAUTIFUL!" However, the reality of all that effort left me wondering if maybe I could do something less extravagant? Maybe a good short cut of my crabgrass and a good heavy roller with be good enough. And, maybe the cup installation will have to be modified and simplified just a bit... Nonetheless, you guys did a super-duper job! Thanks for showing how to do it. Chuck Wagon

[@soldiereverdean3552]

Thank you for a great video and explanation. Any suggestions for installing a sand trap along the edge of the fringe turf?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Great question. Be sure to build your base to include the shape of the dug out sand trap. Install the fringe over the hump and allow it to reach below where your sand level will be. Fill the trap as your last step and the sand will hide the edge of your turf. Avoid trying to butt the turf up to sand, it won't last. Hope this helps.

[@soldiereverdean3552]

+Bella Turf Thank you for your quick response! That's what I figured would be best but having the base under it is a good idea.

[@goodguysalwayswintruthprev7460]

As an example, how much would the materials cost for this particular job?? my garden is about the same. Great job guys, id hire you if I was in your area, but being in UK ill have to do it myself. Thanks

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Price really depends on location and supplier. I know Namgrass does a good job in the UK, check them out.

[@goodguysalwayswintruthprev7460]

When you say 2 inch of dranlayer, is that 2 inch compacted depth? or 2 inches of drainlayer before compacting? PLEASE ANSWER, IM DOING IT NOW!! thx.

[@johnyarbrough1244]

Great video. I’m going to have one built. Planning one 12 x 24, rounded, about 10’ in the middle. I must have missed the part about how you determined the slope. Is one end flat and the other sloped a little with more slope from one end to another? How did you do it? I heard that 3 degrees should maximum.

Yep. Sometimes building these things doesn't even feel like work. We like it, the end result always makes the efforts worth while.

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Visit a Bella Turf dealer, they can help you out with everything you need. Bellaturf.ca has the details.

[@LaidBackGolf]

why not put the cup down before doing those layers and compacting

[@gomer2813]

I suppose because it would make it very annoying to run the plate compactor.

[@28russ]

So you can get the height just right I suppose

[@stephenlincolnjr1170]

Compactor use, height of cup, and gives you the ability to ensure that is where you want the cup on the green. Placing cup before ground work doesn't ensure the slope or placement you want.

[@moytheboy22]

Yep - I don’t care what anyone else says it makes more sense to install the cup before throwing anything down.

[@johnking7649]

Now I am gnawing my own foot off, watching this! 🤪 Even during Corona 😷 I am not going to do this...

[@Justin-tj9vw]

Question. Why would you need a base over your fringe? The putting green I realize so the putts roll great but the fringe doesn’t make sense why u need to go thru all that

[@liberianim7357]

Great job! What state is this work done?

[@Konrad_kicks]

Great video. Any costs you can share. Or material list

[@shawnp8076]

Roughly how much would this cost material wise? And where can I get the synthetic terf? Website or link would be appreciated

[@bcoleman8270]

I live in the Northeast US and am installing a putting green. I am wondering about using concrete around the cups. Most installations show using cement around the cup and you don't. Is that better without when you live in and area with snow and frost?

[@ubkwerhe5469]

my yard already has soft sand on, can I just buy thick turf and put it on top and nail it?

[@alexjohn5086]

ground tamp it , use 4 inch "U" nails and then hire a greenkeeper to cut the holes (they have the right tool to cut an install the cups) with good planning your putting in 8 hours.

[@OVF_Golf]

Wow fastest 31 minutes and 15 seconds of my life, didn’t even realize I watched for that long 😂

[@marvinphifer9770]

I watched it three times so far, more to come for certain parts. Retired, I can work on it when bored. I will never putt on it, it would ruin my stroke. It is for the grandkids. Grass will not grow there and it looks cool. Size 12 by 15. Love the comments!

[@afc358]

At the beginning it says you need a push broom. I only have a pull broom. Will that be ok?

[@mikethom9397]

At 18:00 they pull with the push broom, so you are actually ahead. Hope this helps (3 years later)

[@jameshudson3757]

Could a green like this handle real shots? Balls coming from 100+ yards- or would it dent the base?

[@pedropalomo130]

@@BellaTurfDIY great job with the video i enjoyed watching

[@bigjohnconnect]

Man that's a lot of work for such a small green

[@nicholipitra7634]

si the green is just held down by sand? no spiking the actual green?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

The green stays put due to the sand. No perimeter spiking necessary. From hot to cold, some surfaces may slightly expand and contract, this creates ripples in the green.

[@mayg.931]

Awesome project guys 👍👍

[@28russ]

Bit more to it than I thought with all the base layers but I suppose if ya gunna do something ya might as well do it right and build it to last. Nice work. Don't think I'll be making one anytime soon though lol

[@HeCoversMe]

That landscapers rake is called a “Lute”. Used it many years while blacktopping.

[@superjohnmcginley]

Wait till you watch the outtakes for the putts, ,it’ll be 31 days long , or at least that’ll be how long it feels, great job !

[@nahling5788]

I noticed that the fringe was spiked in place but what holds the putting surface down?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

The green itself is held in place by the amount of sand weighing it down (infill) as well as the cups set into the backing. Due to the thin profile of the backing on the green, it's best to not spike it in place as the hot/cold can cause it to expand and contract the slightest bit. This is also why we recommend leaving a 1/8" gap between green and fringe. You can however set the seam tape from your fringe seams a few inches under the edge of the green and glue it if it makes you feel better. It is rare that a green gets spiked, ball roll is far too important.

[@goodguysalwayswintruthprev7460]

Hi Bella. I will be using nylon instead of proplene, so what could I do to secure the matting of the green to my base. I wnnt be needing sand infil for nylon, so wondering what to hold it down with. Any tips for allowing for shrinkage and expansion on the green? Also any idea whast clear crush is in aUK jargon, and road base and crusher fines? Thanks so much for advice, I really wish u were near me, I'd hire you guys for sure, this is the best green ive seen to date. And its this video that will guide my DIY install. Thx.

[@jessburns]

Bella Turf I was actually going to ask what the sand is for...but now I see!!! So cool!!!

[@jayf2487]

How did you cut your green and fringe? Did you do all free hand with a knife?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

These kits are all pre-cut when you get them.

[@jayf2487]

Hmm well mine i have to cut the shape of the green out. Any suggestions?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

@@jayf2487 yep. I assume you have a rectangle piece of turf? Draw your ideal green shape on paper to scale or close. Transfer the shape to your putting green surface with chalk. I like to have a couple 20' lengths of 3/4" pvc pipe snapped together to bend and trace the curves smoothly. This requires extra sets of hands but is well worth the effort. Draw it till you love it, then cut. Use similar cutting motion to this example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnWaeK2beKqJaMk

[@dalewier9735]

At 14:12 when he says that if the ground is sloped the cup should be as well means that your flag that sticks above the hole will not be straight up but hang to one side. That will not look very nice.

[@bcoleman8270]

Do you NOT recommend concreting the cups in place when in a Northern environment?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Correct. The frost will lift the cup. It is important to NOT use cement. If the base happens to shift over the winter and the cups do raise, they are easy to set back into place by tapping them down with a 2x4 and a hammer. If the concrete block were to lift, it stays up. I hope this helps. Good luck!

[@roro0465]

Whyd I just watch this whole thing

[@cmoney21021]

Yep

[@seanjuan8769]

So you don't need glue to hold the actual green down?

[@claymendoza4694]

We use finishing nails. I’m almost certain they left the secure process out or simply skipped that step

[@huikh2r]

I am only interested in putting a putting green indoor. For outdoor, why don't just drive to the nearest golf course? It has much larger putting green, chipping are and bunkers. It is all free.

[@beauclairnanfack3389]

Interested. I live also in Roanoke TX

Thanks! check them out at shop.bellaturf.ca

[@murrayhart1]

How long did it take to sink all those putts.

[@hotsaucebone]

Would be easier to put this on the ground that is already made out of gravel like concrete?

[@Opalmizer]

Why would you put boulders around your putting green?

[@Brando-v3m]

Did you watch the video? They used the boulders like a retaining wall because the slope was more than they wanted on the green.

[@greenfixer]

Would you recommend using an existing concrete floor to a green like this?

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Its an option. You'd need to drill holes in the concrete for your cups. If you want contour, it can be build with carved foam and /or concrete.

[@garynickel648]

What would suggest the maximum slope?

I would say, buy the actual turf cloth and add : 2B Limestone @ $15/t 2B Roadpack Limestone @ $12/t Road Fines @ $8.50/t Compactor Rental (PA State) @ $65/day (Rent on a Saturday for the extra day) Sand's and silica's are cheap in a lot of areas, providing you buy in bulk (by the ton) I do not golf, but my Buds do. I was thinking about making a 1 hole par 5 on the property. I got about 6 acre allocated for the hole........ Maybe :P I start doing this, then I will need a pond, pavilion, 4 more fire pits, the list goes on.......

[@BradfordMcEwenVARENNA]

Hey, great video...that taught me how much work it takes to make a professional putting green....so what am I going to do? Research which grass makes the best putting green surface, order the turf, hire a specific golf course Gardner with the right lawnmower, and buy, not rent the only tool I will need, “THE HOLE MAKER”...I can change the hole positions at will, and will make sure to coverover the holes for debris and rain...once I get bored of the course, I can change the hole positions

What’s the dimensions of just the green? Length and the widest point of width

[@BellaTurfDIY]

13x20 is green only. Add 16" all the way around for the fringe. Also available in a smaller 13x10 or a larger 15x24. bellaturf.ca has all the info

[@ehoh3246]

Looks great

[@itmaslanka]

But really the same skills as making a patio deck ! Rocks sand green $2-3000 ?

[@IanChea108]

is it possible to put a putting green above a short tree stump ?? this video shows a flat putting green. Wondering if it's possible for undulation like a tree stump

[@BellaTurfDIY]

Are you certain the stump is no longer shifting? I would recommend removing it. If it were to shift even slightly beneath your green, the entire base would be flawed.

[@ogandsandragriffo4067]

Just make a bigger hole and call it a swimming pool :-) In NZ we are in lockdown for 4 weeks minimum, golf course closed and no maintenance being done. Think I'll wait till it opens again as it would take me more than 4 weeks to do all this.

How do we buy one of these greens?

[@lfish21.]

I feel like it would have been easier to place the cups before building and build around them.

[@BellaTurfDIY]

This is a common theory, however, you wont get the base to be as consistent around the cup if the cup is in the way of your compacting. The base will eventually sag around the cup and the ball will hit the side of the cup instead of dropping in. Good thought though.
