Installation Process
1. Initial Consultation and Design:
Site Assessment: Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your space to understand your requirements and vision. We take measurements, evaluate the terrain, and discuss your design preferences, including any specific features like contours, slopes, or hazards.
Customized Design Plan: Based on the site assessment, we create a customized design plan that includes a detailed layout of the putting green. This plan ensures that the final product meets your expectations and fits seamlessly into your landscape.
2. Site Preparation:
Clearing the Area: The first step involves clearing the designated area of any existing grass, plants, rocks, or debris. This ensures a clean slate for the installation process.
Excavation and Grading: We excavate the area to a suitable depth, typically 3-4 inches, to accommodate the base layers. The ground is then graded to ensure proper drainage and a level surface. This step is crucial for preventing water accumulation and ensuring the longevity of the putting green.
3. Base Installation:
Base Layer Installation: Lay down a mix of fine and coarse crushed stone. This blend enhances both stability and drainage. The layer is then compacted to ensure a solid foundation.
Compaction: The base layer is meticulously compacted using specialized equipment to create a solid, even surface. Proper compaction is essential to prevent shifting and settling over time.
4. Turf Installation:
Laying the Turf: The synthetic turf is rolled out over the prepared base. Each piece is carefully positioned and trimmed to fit the specific dimensions of the design plan.
Seaming and Joining: Seams between turf pieces are joined using high-quality adhesive and seam tape to create a smooth, seamless surface. This step ensures that the joints are virtually invisible and the turf looks continuous.
Securing the Turf: The edges of the turf are securely anchored using landscape spikes or staples to prevent movement and maintain the integrity of the installation.
5. Infill Application:
Infill Material Selection: An infill material, typically silica sand or rubber granules, is chosen based on the specific requirements of the putting green. The infill helps the turf blades stand upright and adds weight to keep the turf in place.
Infill Distribution: The infill is evenly distributed across the turf using specialized equipment. Multiple layers are applied and brushed into the turf fibers to ensure even coverage and a natural feel.
6. Final Touches and Inspection:
Brushing and Grooming: The turf is brushed to lift the fibers and ensure a smooth, even surface. This step enhances the appearance and playability of the putting green.
Installation of Features: Additional elements, such as cups, flags, and fringe, are installed to complete the putting green. These features are positioned according to the design plan to create a realistic and functional golf environment.
Final Inspection: Our team conducts a thorough inspection to ensure that the installation meets our high standards of quality and precision. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure optimal performance and aesthetics.
