Key takeaways
- Contours are built into the base, not the turf
- Putting turf has fine, short fibers
- Fringe blends the green into the lawn
- Brushing and rolling set the speed
A putting green looks simple, but the ball does not lie.
Shape the base
Breaks and slopes are built into a compacted base. The turf follows the shape underneath.
Lay the putting turf
Fine, short fibers give a smooth roll. Seams are joined so the ball does not notice them.
Add cups and fringe
Cups are cut and sleeved, and a fringe of longer turf blends the green into the yard.
Set the speed
Infill, brushing and rolling change how fast the ball rolls. Tell your installer what speed you like.
