Materials Required
Before starting the installation process, it is important to collect all the essential items.This will help avoid confusion and delays throughout the installation for a high-quality result. At Echoing Green, we solely use the most luxury-quality materials to guarantee a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing artificial grass putting green. The necessary components include artificial grass, fasteners, turf glue, sub-base material, weed barrier cloth, infill, and your preferred edging.
Pre-Installation Preparation
Preparing the installation area is the initial stage for constructing a backyard putting green. It is crucial to clean the designated space by removing any garbage, debris, or pre-existing grass. Accurately measuring and marking the boundaries of where you want the putting green established is important. Next, the sub-base is readied by spreading a layer of gravel that is compressed to generate a stable foundation. Weed-resistant fabric is then placed over the top of the sub-base for preventing weeds from sprouting.
Installing the Base
After installing the sub-base and weed barrier fabric, the base material is placed on top. Here at Echoing Green, we utilize a premium aggregate as the base material. It is tamped down to form a smooth, level surface. The base material is then watered and tamped again to guarantee stability. Ensuring a stable base helps create a landscape that stands the test of time.
Laying the Artificial Grass
The following crucial phase involves placing the artificial grass over the foundational material. Measurements are taken of the artificial grass to ensure an exact fit for the space, and any joints are fastened securely. Infill is subsequently added to the artificial grass to assist the blades standing upright and to provide padding for the golfer's feet.
Finishing Touches
To provide the artificial grass putting green with a professional appearance, edging is placed around the perimeter. This can be accomplished with pavers or other styles of edging materials. The edges of the artificial turf are also trimmed to offer a clean and neat look. Finally, additional features such as cups and flags are included to finish the installation.
Putting Green Maintenance
Maintaining a smooth-rolling putting surface requires minimal effort when using an artificial grass putting green. Simply sweep away any fallen leaves or branches to keep the area debris-free. Occasionally, spray down the artificial turf with a hose to wash away accumulated dirt or dust. This artificial putting surface stays appealing with very little ongoing upkeep needed compared to a real grass putting green.
