Unsure if this is the right folder for this,but I thought I should share.

What we had to start with.

**Amerworma** · 12-05-2009, 08:30 PM

Wife had big plans for renovating the back yard and I pleaded for a putting green.

After 5 different designs we finally agreed on one.

Here are the plans

**ImmitsRom** · 12-05-2009, 08:31 PM

Very cool, I've been contemplating doing something similar in my backyard.

**Amerworma** · 12-05-2009, 08:33 PM

The finished work of the yard before the green was to be installed.

**Amerworma** · 12-05-2009, 08:36 PM

Now for the installation process of the green.

Day 1

**anconueys** · 12-05-2009, 08:37 PM

Where's the tractors and dump trucks?

Real or artificial turf?

Nice touch on the pygmy plants, they're always a big hit with the kids (everybody likes to feel tall)

Got a bigger picture?

Grading plan?

Landscape lighting?

**Amerworma** · 12-05-2009, 08:38 PM

Day 2

**agolutuaddiff** · 12-05-2009, 08:38 PM

You have me drooling Lefty, I cant talk the lady into doing this.

Artificial. I don't have the proper equipment or expense of the water bill to afford this or maintain it.

Grading was done by landscape company along with the lights.

Bigger pic of what?

Day 3 of installation

**ImmitsRom** · 12-05-2009, 08:46 PM

Did they use sand or pea gravel for the base and how did they attach the artificial turf to the base?

**w4WBthjv** · 12-05-2009, 08:46 PM

That looks like an awesome backyard Lefty, good work! I can about imagine that you'll log some serious hours out there when the weather is nice!! Got any completed pics?

**Styparty** · 12-05-2009, 08:49 PM

Stupid off-topic question: What's the concrete cylinder next to the pool with the blue stuff in it?

**RilmAlime67** · 12-05-2009, 08:50 PM

when is the green warming party?

**Amerworma** · 12-05-2009, 08:50 PM

The finished product

Putting surface

Crushed Granite.Turf is nailed to base

Sand can shift too much according to them.

Thanks, that was one of the issues I've been working through. That putting green looks incredible.

**Muhabsssa** · 12-05-2009, 09:06 PM
