I'm sure those guys really enjoyed having the homeowner and camera over their shoulder every step of the way.

Hey brother thank you that was so entertaining great knowledge you shared with us 💪🏿💯

[@benjiminus04]

The kid asked great questions!!!

[@AmosPlumb]

Wow that was an amazing video! Very cool:)

[@apmdiesel]

Thank you. I think the key to preventing the ball from skipping is that foam under the Turf. How thick is that foam?

[@texaswayz2289]

Foam brakes down over time. I use epdm rubber mixed with a polyurethane binder then hand trowel.

[@joshprendiz71]

Nice work!!

[@txkevin3467]

I wonder what kind of foam is suitable for outdoors. Seems like most foams would break down relatively quickly.

[@allanjayceon7342]

instablaster

[@txkevin3467]

@@allanjayceon7342 no idea what instablaster is. Does not come up in a Google search. I'll keep looking though. Thanks for the suggestion.

if you use the green for putting and lifting small weight s and normal walking barefoot will u always have sandy feet?

[@cr1138]

I'm researching this and thinking about doing it myself.....I don't understand why you take the grass off and get it to dirt level when you just pile on a couple tons of gravel?

[@dylanalexander9581]

You have to make sure there is no grass or any weeds or it will eventually make its way through

Awesome. What do you think you have in that green?$$?

That black gorilla tape definitely won't last for a seam with hot and cold weather. Hot weather the tape will move around and winters it won't stay stuck down.

How do I get the roller in my back garden ?

[@tobybrewster5945]

You can rent one from your local rental company

[@gmoore9179]

what's the maintenance on something like this?

[@JohnnysTipsandTricks]

The only thing I do to it is brush it to get debris off. I bought a ryobi 🤢 battery operated sweeper. It does a great job

[@brykidla]

Looks like a green at Pinehurst #2

[@ou812927]

Wow

[@ralfschmitt2341]

very nice. But its an elevated green all around, not good for bump and runs. For sure you will enjoy, I would

[@randywatson9585]

Dumb question: No glue or adhesive anywhere else but the seam?

[@JohnnysTipsandTricks]

Correct

Are you still cigarettes free? Can you make follow up video about Juul

[@18holesofgoof82]

How much does one expect this project to cost.

[@JohnnysTipsandTricks]

They say between 15-25 a square foot. Mine was $14.00 a square foot

[@18holesofgoof82]

That's actually not bad for the amount of accuracy and work it takes to get the surface level and rolling nice. Looks good. Would like to hear about durability over time but I assume it'll hold up well when cared for and resanded every few years.. great job

[@hashley1856]

@@JohnnysTipsandTricks how big is your putting green? with the fringe

[@Unplugged704]

@@JohnnysTipsandTricks How many sqft is you putting area, fringe and all? Total cost..

[@GuessWho-uc5uq]

@@Unplugged704 From the video id guess around 400 sq ft. So from the comment above about his being $14 a sq. ft you're looking at around $5500 for that in the video. Obviously this is all just a loose estimate.

[@mikepolizzio1542]

What kind of foam padding was used under the green? I can't seem to find something similar. Also, is this step needed if you won't be hitting to the green, just putting on it?

[@JohnnysTipsandTricks]

You can get the pad at Tour Greens. I believe the bad is necessary to mimic the softness of the green

[@J9XXL]

This guy is overselling it and the whole process is overkill. The foam pad is corny
