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

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

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?

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?

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

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?

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

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.

Very cool yard there!
